OMG they are reducing their ownership from 15 percent from 18 percent! FUD! Seriously though, why would you want to leave it all tied up in there and be a billionaire just on paper. Well unless you're Warren Buffet who has never sold a shar

You just have to use 50% more aluminum by volume than you would steel - 3/8" plate instead of 1/4" to achieve roughly the same strength. The total aluminum would still be 25% lighter than a comparable strength steel container. Steel is much

The Dropbox guys have done a hell of a job and I use it everyday. I could see Google, maybe even MS buying them. The flip side is Google has more than enough resources to make it themselves and they could make it fit natively into G Apps.

It took a month to get anything written about climategate on climatologist Michael Mann's wikipedia page - many of the contraversial emails were his. It finally got unlocked and was able to add something yesterday.

I am biased - not about climatology, but having been in grad school and seen it first hand, I am biased about scientists motives, especially when you are competing for millions of dollars of grant money. I also know its easy to fit big data

Not making conclusions, just posting interesting data. I would bet that most of the Jewish people on this list are pretty secular though, and along with all the athiest/agnostics on the list, I think the biggest shared trait is independent
