"If I type this sentence two more times, how many times will I have typed it when I am finished?"
Well, so far, I've typed it once.

"If I type this sentence two more times, how many times will I have typed it when I am finished?"
Well I typed it one more time! I have typed it twice!

"If I type this sentence two more times, how many times will I have typed it when I am finished?"
Now i have typed it two more times! I have typed it three times!

Get it?

"Times" does only indicate simple multiplication. It's the comparative element: "bigger than" that is the source of the confusion. "Times bigger than" does not represent the proportion of the size of object A to object B, it represents the proportion of object A to the difference between object A and object B.

Nope. I'm not trolling. Like many people you're taking a wrong turn at the intersection of English Language and Arithmetic.

That's why it's such an awful way of representing the idea. It's confusing. You seem like a reasonably smart person, and it even confused you.

"a volume N times larger" and "N times the volume" are not the same thing.
It's easy to understand when you consider the domain 0 = N =1

For "N times the volume" use N x V = VN
This is simple and straightforward. "This object is twice as big as that object"
My dog (Da) is twice the size of your dog (Db): Da x 2 = 2Da = Db
My dog is 50% (0.5x) the size of your dog: Db x 0.5 = 0.5Db = Da

For "a volume N times larger" use N + (N x V) = (N+1) x V
My dog is two times bigger than your dog: Da + Da x 2 = 3Da = Db
My dog is 50% larger than your dog: Da + Da x 0.5 = 1.5Da = Db

Notice the HUGE difference in meaning between "50% the size of" and "50% larger"
In this context, the difference is a whole dog.

What happens when N = 0? When N = 1
(At this point, it should be obvious how wrong you are)

Thus, for "a volume N times smaller" use V / (N + 1)
Your dog is 3 times smaller than my dog: Da / ( 3 + 1) = Da/4 = Db

Downmodded as a troll for being right. *sigh*

No, it's a crap way of saying a quarter of the volume. It's an incorrect way of saying a third of the volume.

If something is three times larger, it's 4x the original size.
V + V x 0 = V (0x larger)
V + V x 1 = 2V (1x larger)
V + V x 2 = 3V (2x larger)
V + V x 3 = 4V (3x larger)

So, to find the volume of something 3x smaller, we divide by 4.

One problem: they just rigged the election. They own the judge. Your suit will not go well.

Holden: You're in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down...

Leon: What one?

Holden: What?

Leon: What desert?

Holden: It doesn't make any difference what desert, it's completely hypothetical.

Leon: But, how come I'd be there?

Holden: Maybe you're fed up. Maybe you want to be by yourself. Who knows? You look down and see a server, Leon. It's serving web pages ...

Leon: Server? What's that?

Holden: You know what a computer is?

Leon: Of course!

Holden: Same thing.

Leon: I've never seen a computer... But I understand what you mean.

Holden: You reach down and install Microsoft Windows on it, Leon.

Leon: Do you make up these questions, Mr. Holden? Or do they write 'em down for you?

Holden: The server lays on its back, its case baking in the hot sun, thrashing its hard drive trying to boot up, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping.

Leon: What do you mean, I'm not helping?

Holden: I mean: you're not helping! Why is that, Leon?

[Leon has become visibly shaken]

Holden: They're just questions, Leon. In answer to your query, they're written down for me. It's a test, designed to provoke an emotional response... Shall we continue?

[Leon nods]

Holden: Describe in single words only the good things that come into your mind about... Systemd.

Leon: Systemd?

Holden: Yeah.

Leon: Let me tell you about Systemd.

Who the heck modded up this FUD?

Discovery.com tries to load lots of external resources.
However, the text on the page is displayed without loading any of them (unlike some other sites, such as gawker).

The images and the stylesheet are at ddmcdn.com, if you're using RequestPolicy. This is the only domain that needs to be allowed in RequestPolicy if you want it to "display correctly", but if you're only using NoScript, the page loads fine without allowing anything. The text is reasonably well-formatted and you can view the pictures on the page.

Precisely.

How about the built-in web browser?
According to PDroid Monitor (using CyanogenMod with P-droid patches), it can access:
    Network Location
    GPS Location
    Account Credentials
    Accounts (Listing of accounts registered with other apps on device: Dropbox, Twitter, etc. Includes name of the service, and the user ID)
    Contacts (For what?)
    Call Log (Why the hell would it ever need this?)
    Bookmarks and History (Duh)
    Wifi Info
    Network Info (
    Force Online State

Well, of course the built-in browser is gross. What about Firefox? That should be less invasive, right?
    Network Location
    GPS Location
    Account Credentials
    Accounts
    Record Audio
    Camera
    Start at Boot (That goes really well with the previous two)
    Network Info
    Force Online State

What could possibly go wrong?

This is obviously wrong as there are over 800 titles available for linux, but Valve hasn't published 800 source-engine games. Even limiting the scope to big-publisher FPS stuff you're still wrong on two fronts. CS:GO is still missing. Metro: Last Light (using the 4A engine) has been available since November.
