hannibal

Speaking of which are the greatest generals, according to Livy Hannibal and Scipio Africanus met at a dinner 10 years after Scipio definitively beat Hannibal and that's what their conversation was about.

Chilton (the head of the facility where Hannibal was kept) was as 2-dimensional a corrupt bureaucrat as you can get.

Then a better name would be the Hannibal Buress effect.

The Romans troddled along until Hannibal wiped certainty off their face, the Romans retooled, focused around a military society, and learned sailing from captured triremes to beat the better adversary.

I'm not black, but Hannibal Buress is my favorite.

Clarice Starling...even if you want to argue that no sexual tension exists between her and Hannibal Lecter (even though he specifically refers to it), much of the non-gruesome psychological conflict her character faces is precisely because she is a woman in a (tall) man's world.

Apple doesn't need to treat every application running on the phone like Hannibal Lecter, locking it inside some kind of padded sandbox with steel walls and redundant alarm systems and then (in a small but significant number of cases) watching it escape anyway.

Napoleon is normaly considered one of the "great captains" the gereral consensus is that the great captains are Ceaser, Hannibal Alexander, Churcill (John not Winston) Wellington and Napoleon.

Not as rigorous as an academic textbook, and unfortunately ends with Core 2, but "Inside the Machine" by Jon Stokes (Hannibal of Ars Technica) is a good overview.

Your killer is a straw man - someone who seeks to only kill more, to become the most murderous possible person (s)he can, a "Hannibal Lector" of vengeance w/o the epicurean instinct.

The US isn't the most protective of its soldiers -- that honor probably goes to Israel, the "Hannibal Protocol" notwithstanding -- but for a country engaged in a decade and a half of open warfare, it's remarkably loathe to endanger its warfighters.

Scipio asked Hannibal, who are the greatest generals of all time?

Like what the romans did to Hannibal's father.

And then there was Hannibal, who used some insanely clever tactics to defeat a massive Roman army in what's considered the most decisive military victory in history (Hannibal lost 6,000 men, the Romans lost 60,000) (~216BC).
