I think part of it is that household size is decreasing along with a cultural shift away from multi-generational living, and the other part is that quality of life is going up for tens of millions of people.
I've read/seen somewhere that there will be more household created in China in the next 15-20 years than exist in the United States. I agree that quoting hundreds of millions is more appropriate, but I think the number is probably higher than 200 million.
People use public servers for private purposes all the time. I'm not saying that it is a good thing, just pointing out the disconnect between the way most people use the internet and the level of privacy that you are talking about maintaining. Trusting a public terminal is at a different level than trusting Google not to show your email to a person, but it's in the same category.
The midwest generally has prices somewhat below the national average. California has extra high prices because they use a bunch of boutique blends and won't allow any refineries to be built.
I'm not sure Google expects all of their employees to do stuff. Or, maybe I should say, sometimes it seems like it. They haven't released a whole lot of stuff for a company with 10,000+ of the best and brightest. They sell a lot of ads though.

How large of a private company should someone be allowed to build before the government steps in and takes part of it away?

It at least seems possible to me that ebay is claiming that Craiglist is failing to exercise its market position(so rather than unfairly diminishing the proportion of the company that ebay owns, the claim is that they are failing to make easy money, or maybe they refused a buyout offer that ebay considered to be above the market value of their stock, etc.).
The point isn't that you should have proof, the point is that the dilution could be a lot of other things other than the sale of equity below market value.
One possibility is that the value used in the sale is wrong. If the company is worth $10,000 and 20% of it gets sold for $1,000, existing shareholders are getting it hard.

Do you have proof that the dilution ebay is claiming is due to sale of equity?
I haven't um, messed with it in quite a while, but they are documenting dozens of architectures and systems(they just happen to be writing the documentation as working code), and when I did last take a look, they were generally making things better all the time.
The scientists in the Popular Mechanics article are claiming that they can generate 100% gasoline equivalent fuel, not 60-65% gasoline equivalent. Or am I missing something?
I have seen something like that said about Moore's law.
To what extent is Moore's law a result of the pace of semiconductor research, and to what extent is the pace of semiconductor research a result of Moore's law?
Of course, need also drives a lot of research outside of the military, it just gets sullied with an 'applied' label that seems to turn off a fair number of academics.
Slashdot Mirror
Yes. That is the correct comment. The story should have been "In my private, christian middle school, a liar..."
Unfortunately, I think I saw it on that bastion of referenced material, CNBC.
This sort of thing at least shows trends:

Or maybe one of the tribes got some technology and they took over the world together.
Just don't let him back out.
How many of the people who survive in that scenario would actually be Slashdotters, 0.5?
I'm not trying to say anything about Slashdotters either, I'm talking about the 1 million to 1 odds of being a survivor
The economy isn't bombing. It is just firing on 14 trillion cylinders instead of 15 trillion cylinders.
Of course, that's still a lot of pain.

How about an encrypted tunnel to a trusted proxy?
That doesn't mean you can trust traffic outside of the proxy, but I'm pretty sure that you can trust the link to the proxy.
How many people encrypt their email?

O.k., throw the deeply out. I like the part where you imply people think about the news.

Cool. It's right in the middle, grown on a scaffolding, but inside the body.
I'm glad that some crazy people go on to become doctors. Otherwise, we would never get stuff like this.
Perhaps people lose breasts in accidents and would like a cosmetic replacement that uses their own tissues, rather than something synthetic?
