from your reply I would say that you are the moron. A moron with no imagination, because you can not imagine how somebody would not speak perfectly your language.
because god forbid you get high traffic without google.
Of course you get. But you will not get ALL the traffic that you deserve. And the traffic that you will not get will make the difference between a large profit or a smaller one. I prefer the larger profit, all the profit.
There are people that even if they know the full name of the website, they still use Google to search for it. Think about that.
obviously I was talking about equality of chances and not about relevance, as you can see in the text that you quoted from me. But never mind, you are 4 insightful but you didn't understood your own quote. Thanks moders!
I tell you what most people do. They have no idea that ads are ads, and blindly click on whatever it's on the real Top position. Sure, the people that work in the industry know that those positions are special. Not so with the general public.
Fact: Google it's more than no 1. It's the only thing that can drive traffic from searches.
Fact: first position gets most traffic. First "reserved" position (for own services) or not.
Fact: reserved positions will be occupied by Google-only services (even if those services are not the best on the web), or paying customers.
Fact: Google expanded rapidly also because they claim that every website is equal, you all have a chance just make a good website.
Now let's imagine you choose a topic A, and you build the best website there can be for said topic. You are no 1, you get the most traffic. Life it's good.
Then you read that Google it's launching their own website for topic A. This website it's not that good but it gets one of the reserved places. And now the majority of the traffic goes to Google's website. You are f???ed. How can you compete with Google in this situation?
The Google was good then they were just a search engine. Now that they are a little more, there is a conflict of interest. They hijacked the top positions by saying that that is not the top position, but a reserved position (which is at the top so it gets the most traffic).
no, its not. It's like when they say that they will do what's best for you and then sell you what's best for them. The problem it's not that they push their own services. The problem is that they push their own services while denying it!
initial loading it's still important (for me at least). Big homepages remind me of MS Live search engine that had a 500k homepage and that search engine lost the race.
Also, not only dialup is slow. Broadband but shitty internet connection is also slow. Free internet is slow (airports etc). In developing countries it is slow. In Africa it is slow.
I was thinking that maybe it would be possible a lite version.
Good to know that they will remove support for old browsers.
"3.3Khz was the accepted frequency that telephone calls are going to run"
The bandwidth was not "accepted". It was set by the engineers that design the first analog telephone systems. It is a compromise between the need to have very small bandwidth per channel (so you can multiplex a lot of channels, and send them on the expensive long-distance cable) and the need to understand what the other person is saying and also, very important, to recognize who that person is (large bandwidth is better). They made some tests and this is how they found the sweet spot.
it not like that at all. If you play fair then Google will send all the traffic to the ones that build links artificially. If you want to survive you have to do the same. You are forced to.
Competition has a very good site, let's say 100 links for good + some artificially created.
You have a very good site, 100 links also. Where will Google send the traffic?
The problem is that an algorithm can not really rank the content of a web page.
communists where atheists, they destroyed a lot of churches in Romania. Also there was a law that prohibited woman to have an abortion because they wanted to have more people. More people = more workforce. The workforce was paid with money but because you couldn't buy anything (food = scarce, car = maybe one in a lifetime, flat = never, just rent) or leave the country that meant they paid people with plain paper. And so on...
it can work for you but I found that it is not really made for very large shops. The kind of items that you sell doesn't matter.
Just consider this:
- you can import products in bulk but you can't export them
- you can't edit products in bulk: ex. increase all the prices by 5$, or select 10-20 products and edit them in one page. All the time you have to edit product by product unless you install some extension for bulk editing
- if you decide to "regenerate thumbnails" while having thousands of products it will take very long and the hosting will stop the regeneration after 30s or so. PrestaShop has no means to -continue- the regeneration.

"if the author didn't misrepresent basic facts he'd need to do actual work which is hard"
Basic fact: I can't select my country. Another basic fact: none of the smart people from this forum, including you, can't come up with a plausible reason for this.
There's tons of other ones including local business contracts, lack of local knowledge and so on.
no contacts or local knowledge for... China?
The reality is that Apple and for example Google are big (almost global) companies, but they are having problems trying to keep up with the Internet.
"For Apple, the eastern half of Europe is still both terra incognita and non desiderata."
It's not about different laws in different countries, or higher taxes or costs. It's about not being able to select your country (in the drop-down list). And when you take a look at what countries you can select vs. countries you can't select, you will notice that it doesn't make any sense.
"Clearly the size of the market is not the determinant. China and Russia don’t appear, but Luxembourg does. It is not about prosperity: Iceland—which, believe it or not, is still one of the richer countries in the world—is out, whereas Vietnam is in.

You can "solve" the time problem by not using the time. I worked with a system (up to 100 servers) in which a bad clock could do some serious damage. What I realized was that the clock was not really necessary; all we needed was a system that will provide order numbers. It could work like a dedicated server that other servers could ask for the next unused number and you would use that instead.
we are not talking about the same thing. A dongle it's not really part of the telecom network; it is user equipment. Why bother selling compromised dongles when you can buy a dongle for any network you want and do whatever with it?

money. From ads.
this had to happen sooner or later. And if we found out today, then it started happening at least two years ago.
I just noticed that the outside pistons are longer than the inner ones...

it's the other way around. High frequency waves travel very little, low frequency waves travel very far at the same power level.
