It may be an estimate, but since they're all estimated by the same tool, it's a roughly valid comparison. Relativity is the point here I suppose, as opposed to absolute lower memory usage.
I didn't suggest that all the prose should be replaced with lists. I question the idea that lists are necessarily bad and prose should be favoured. Information presentation should be about being appropriate, not conforming to a standard simply because that's "what everyone else is doing" - when there is a series of facts that don't flow easily, such as trivia (as trivial as you may consider it), it is most appropriate to present them as a bulleted list.
Encyclopaedias in their original dead-tree form may not have been list-based, but that shouldn't be a hard rule for Wikipedia - perish the thought that we're doing something new and innovative as we go along, not just conforming to a centuries-old standard. Or is the citizen-editing enough for you to think things are being innovative?
That view suggests that "prose" is somehow automatically more information-conveying than a series of concise points that get the information across.
Prose is tortured enough as it is on the internet, and there's no certification for ability to write clearly.

Equivalent to 1st class mail is encrypted email - email sent "in the clear" bounces around so many servers that might do something else with it (like filing away a copy in the interests of "ensuring delivery"), you should assume that it's more or less public.
You're concerned about things hanging around just on the gmail server? Welcome to the digital age.
I'm going on Wikipedia here, but a Panther is "a black specimen (a melanistic variant) of any of the big cats.", and all of the main big cats are in the genus 'Panthera' anyway, so Leopard is a 'repeat' already.
Ocelot, Lynx et al aren't technically 'big cats' - you might as well start going "Cheshire" or "Persian short hair":P
Question there becomes one of who blinks first, and chances are it'll be Blockbuster. If consumers really want to see the movie, and Blockbuster doesn't have it, then they'll go to [insert rental chain with HD-DVD here] instead.
We don't know that. I think you will probably end up being right, but there aren't any fusion reactors, so how do we know it will "just go out"?
TFA aside, even the summary mentions that's the problem they are facing at the moment - keeping the reaction contained & thus going, rather than fizzling out.
Of Google and Apple, Who has more patents and who has made use of them to protect their revenue stream(s)? Who has been affected by patent trolls?
Might be interesting to see the figures against each other.
Lack of instant broad family appeal. The Simpsons has a character everyone can identify with, but Futurama has quirky characters that aren't as broad in their reach.
I for one say Futurama is far funnier, but then I land smack-bang in its target audience, so I would wouldn't I.
well if you think about it, sure, the "traditional" or "natural" medicine does have some that work - but it's like using a sledgehammer to drive a nail in - it'll work, but you don't need something that wide-ranging, like all of the stuff in the "natural" remedy. On the other hand, the "synthetic" ones are usually targeted to have maximum effect for minimum size.
to put it succinctly, I'd rather pop an asprin than swallow a pound of boiled willow bark:P

Isn't the US doing this to all foreigners, not just those from Japan? (hint: the answer's not 'no')

There does seem to be a valley at 60 GHz according to this chart
They've got Cougar and Lion to go before they have to start going to "snow leopard" and the like.
Newsflash! App produced by OS manufacture runs more like a native app than one put together by coders in their spare time!
It is however the first which you can use for something other than watching movies etc.

Where was the DVD forum when the whole DVD+/-R/RW cockup was going down?
Next few million years should suffice.
Search around for all the info on Jailbreak, or the iphone-dev wiki.

Nothing valuable, sure, except maybe address space. Y'know, the reason behind why they're expanding and all...

I'd suggest it'd do pretty well if they sold it at that price here too!
If you cancel your contract within 14 days, you're clear without penalty, and with an activated iPhone in hand no less.
This in turn over millions of years gets covered and compressed and turned into gas and oil. voila! The oil cycle :)
