Don't you love the professionalism and issue escalation of the NETGEAR support team? Shows that we, the mere mortals, are not alone here at all!
If even the security research guy can't get them to stop sitting on their arses, what the mere mortals without such pressing issues are left to do when they encounter the various bugs here and there?
The rest are probably contractors, which wouldn't be employees. So, the whole metric of the number of full-time [on-site?] employees is quite biased to underestimate the number of people involved in the operation.
But most people in the US are not. Worldwide is meaningless.
Where did you get such information? Even if less than 50% of people in the US are lactose intolerant, the number is unlikely to be that far away from 50%. Most people aren't even aware they're lactose intolerant.
Above and beyond that, even the strictest of severe allergies can be tamed by - guess what - controlled exposure to the substance in question. Give a nut-allergy sufferer sufficiently small injections of nuts and build it up gradually and the allergy

How about simplifying the tax law for everyone, instead of creating more interesting bonus work for Apple's and Google's accountants, lobbyists and lawyers?
The smaller companies will end up paying the price for this one once again, too.
This doesn't seem all that surprising. As a matter of fact, such thoughts have went through my mind a couple of times when I was about to publicly post some pictures of mine with a close enough view of the fingers (e.g. holding various objects etc).
I was actually thinking of the opposite trend since a couple of years ago: even people fully capable of running their own mail servers are all using gmail these days; I think we're easily at the breaking point where noone really knows how to run a mail server anymore.
Oh, so there you are!
