We pretended to be working on journalism assignments and instead played on the Apple IIe's. My partner in "crime" was Wes Cherry, who went on to write Solitaire for Windows. I went on to become... errr... a Slashdotter.
Sorry, but *you* are wrong. Nearly every major hospital employs a 3rd party data storage company to store patient records. As a matter of fact, nearly all insurance companies, banks, and other "file-intensive" companies use these 3rd party firms. The largest in the U.S. is called Iron Mountain. They principally store paper files and records in very large warehouses, but IM is moving into electronic data file storage as well. It is *far* cheaper for businesses to outsource the storage and retrieval to a specialized storage firm.
EQ actually hits affluent people harder than the poor. 6.4% of the players make over $150,000 - compare that to the real world where it is significantly lower. Only 27% or so make less than the median income which is roughly $30,000.
Microsoft's strategic goal is to reduce it's dependance on one-time purchase revenue (e.g., operating system, applications, hardware, etc.) and to shift to on-going services revenue. Coupling the Xbox with a pay-as-you-go TV service is (one of) the holy grail(s) for MS. This is a no-brainer. It's probably why they are willin to lose a over $100 million to enter the console market.
... especially management consulting where they use the dreaded case interview. Some of them include trick math problems like this one. The goal is not really to get the answer but to see how you think. The "correct" answer to this encoded math question is not an additive loop program but to recognize the 0+n + 1+(n-1) +... function.
