Having access to the Internet isn't sufficient if you have no encouragement to actually use it. If you don't know that you can apply to a good school and get grants, you never will.
Poverty drives a number of behaviours (and lack of information), whiich lead to a cycle of being poor again. Education is one of those things where you really don't want local taxes funding schools, just fund them all equally well on the educational side of things.
This needs paper and pencil, but it's an easy explanation (even if imperfect).
If you draw a graph of temperature vs time, you will see a wave pattern emerge over a few years. Global warming implies that there is more energy in the atmosphere, so the amplitude of the wave will increase. This means summers get hotter and winters get colder.
The scientific debate is about how much of an amplitude change will result, and what the consequences of that will be (we don't know this yet).
No. They default to the assumption that they may append to mailboxes or send mail to the world, but never delete from it. Deletion is a function of the POP/IMAP server.
You are speaking of sequential io when you say 500MB/s. Email is random io. On spinning rust, your bottleneck is seek time.
You have talked with people who have run systems for millions of users. I *have* run systems for millions of users. Not having to receive spam saves you from spending CPU cycles on email, disk seeks, fancy RAMdisk based architectures (I know how to do this, but there's a good reason I recommend against it).
Bandwidth isn't a scarce resource with email. It's disk io.
CPU time gets really, really expensive when dealing with email at a very large scale.
Bayesian scanners are nice for individuals, but do not work for groups of people with different tastes. False positives are even worse than false negatives.
PPP is irrelevant. The final metric is the increased energy in the atmosphere.
Therefore, the end goal must be to reduce per capita energy consumption, without pushing people into unlivable conditions and improving conditions for those already there.

Yeah. Which is why I would rather the western world get some culture :P

Programming is the job of writing precise specifications.
A picture might be worth a thousand words, but there's a good reason we have books of only words, and not merely picture books.
So shop every day? Make cars expensive, followed by making mass transit convenient, and you'll change your lifestyle to suit. Or move :)
Shall we play a game?
The Indian equivalent of the US president is the prime minister. The president is the equivalent of British royalty.
The hardware needs to be good enough. No need to match.
Once it gets to be good enough, then price matters more.
The web is HTTP only, by definition.
node.js is an event driven server for Javascript. A better Perl example would be POE. Of course, POE has a lot more modules and options.
$a and $b are "magic" variable names for sort (the function automatically assigns them values when comparing).
An internship which ended early 2010, two years at one place, and then a job switch. That's not too bad.
Job periods of about a year? Bad.
Do it Dutch style, all participants bring their own fuel.

Nope. You can't acknowledge receipt until the message is written to durable storage.
And you have never run a really large email system. Bandwidth isn't really a limitation, disk io is.
DD-MM-YYYY, not MM-DD-YYYY.
So 1-12, or 11-2.
Indian mobile numbers are generally 10 digits, starting with 9. The country code is +91, lots of phone numbers and exchanges begin with 1.
It would help if the food programs were aimed at purchasing from the local farmers *before* shipping food from the US.
Forbes suggests it wasn't the unions which made the company fail, it was the management.
Yup. If you think of software as an onion, then there are simply people who work at different layers.
