...Pendennis pounced. Police in Sydney and Melbourne arrested Benbrika and 16 other suspects, and seized firearms, enough chemicals and equipment to make several large bombs, and computers. Hours after the raids, New South Wales Police Commissioner Ken Moroney told the media: "We've disrupted a large-scale operation which, had it been allowed to go through to fruition, we certainly believe would have been catastrophic...
...filmmaker intended. Every time. The digital system at the Curzon is one of 238 being installed in movie theaters across Britain and Northern Ireland over the next two years by the government-backed U.K. Film Council (ukfc). It's the start of the world's first large-scale rollout of digital cinema systems, and leads the way for similar changeovers in the rest of Europe, Asia and the U.S. The goal: to bring the moviegoing experience into the digital age. Computer technology was the biggest thing to happen to the movies since color, and it has already permeated most...
...caused the deaths of as many as 100,000 Ugandan civilians and brought another 150,000 to the brink of starvation in a ruthless campaign to wipe out guerrillas ...

...drugstores in the near future. Ritesh Agarwal, a former Harvard postdoctoral associate, published a paper this week in Optics Express on a new technique for assembling and arranging nanowires, which are smaller than any circuitry currently available, even on microchips. The ability to construct specific, three-dimensional, nano-scale devices at the whim of a researcher has until this week been elusive. Because nanowires also have the ability to direct light, they have potential applications in “optoelectronic” devices, which use light instead of electricity to do computations. Agarwal, working with Professors David G. Grier...
