But how does that help Facebook squash potential competitors and control potential market-changing technologies?

Actually make that A + log2(B) - B, because A is now out the cash/stock they paid for B.

Company A takes enormous write off when they finally admit they paid too much.
Company A valued at A + log2(B)

Like Al Capone, the real crime is not paying taxes.

Yeah I figure it's no fun saying "I rode to Patagonia and back" if you always have to follow it up with "'Well, except this one part where I took a ferry like a punk."

I'm tempted to some day ride my motorcycle to Panama and back. I think I still won't do it, due to the chance of horrible death, but this information will be useful if I do.

If the ambient temperature is lower, it makes it even more effective.

Have to reply to myself. I just noticed the summary says the beer is a Dunkelweizen "Dark Wheat". It's actually a Roggenbier, "Rye Beer".

I've had one of these beers. The main flavor is really the rye malt, rustic. The cloves and yeast flavor are really more of an undertone. It's pretty good beer, especially for $1 per 16 oz can.

Does it require that? Can't we just point a telescope at it? They saw this coming in 1859, even if they didn't know what it was.

These were not destined for ebay, they were destined for https://www.sparkfun.com/ which is an outstanding resource for electronics and robotics enthusiasts.

Maybe we have reason to believe it's not still attached?

Obviously you don't know that all retail services measure caps in megabytes and that they have nothing at all to do with technology. It's like complaining about other people having fast cars because you live on a dirt road.

Storage is measured in megabytes, network is measured in megabits/second. In real-world usage mbps still plenty for most activities, assuming you are actually getting it. 10mbps is enough for an office full of people to use for email, web, voip, et cetera without noticing any issues. The problem is oversubscription of the wireless network so that although you can theoretically get hundreds of mbps, you are actually getting hundreds of kbps, and then only in bursts.
