...Bryan is on the next flight to Paris, and the rest of the movie follows him as he combs the city's lower-rent arrondissements in search of, first, the Albanian nasties who abducted Kim and ultimately the movers and sheiks who will pay handsomely for the privilege of deflowering her. But to elevate Bryan to preternatural status, all his adversaries must be dim-brained klutzes who can't shoot straight. (He rarely takes on fewer than five at a time.) He also must leave Paris in rubble and his old friendships in shambles. Busting into the home...

...number of transistors that could be placed on a computer chip would double every two years - which is precisely what has happened.

The rest of us were rewarded with ever faster and ever smaller computers. At some point soon, however, miniaturization will reach a point that's too tiny to be practical. It's then, many hope, that what's known as quantum computing - based on information-sharing particles - will take over...
...pages), keeps farmers' hours. Literally. "I crawl out of bed about 6 and have some tea," he says, "and immediately I meet my managers"--that is, the managers of his small farm in rural Pakistan. "Then they go off and do their thing, and I write until 2." The rest of the afternoon he spends either out on the land or going through the finances. "I tend to soft-play the accounts and spend more time walking around. It should be the exact opposite, but it's so much fun walking around...
