How exactly is that niche dominating the video game market?
Consoles and PCs grossly out sell mobile games. Hell facebook games grossly out sell mobile.
Mobile gaming can never dominate since it lacks things like a robust input device and screen size. Due to these two vast limitations mobile can never dominate no matter how much the media talks about it.
At first glance it looks like someone isn't cleaning their input.
It's really annoying because searching for "disk full" returns millions of useless crap while "<DISKFULL>" almost guarantees that the results will be relevant.
I don't understand why Google throws away unique indentifying data like capitalization and special characters. Ok I do the answer is speed.
Some of us are willing to wait 5 seconds for good data so we don't have to wade through 16 million shit results that only took.05 seconds.
Reducing the search space is not a how you optimize a system.
Google will modify what you put inside the ". For example it's impossible to search for special characters. There's hasn't been a way to do an exact search for at least 5 years.
+ will return pages that do not contain all the words. My post history has an example, albeit an old one.
Every time someone here brings up macs the director asks them for the ROI. In a business environment there is nothing to justify the greatly increased cost.
With virtualization and Citrix we're back to the mainframe model. Desktops are closer to terminals these days than fully functional machines.
I don't believe I'm going to say this about EA but This can be win win if done right.
Say the subscription is $10 a month. That's the same as buying two games a year. Less actually if you include tax at retail. If you play 2 or more games you break even. If you play 3 or more you come out ahead.
That's great for the player but how does it help EA?
Opponents. It's all about multiplayer. There's an old add for GEnie that was perfect and I will always remember. It had a picture of a CPU and a crazy looking gamer person. The caption under the CPU was "This opponent is programmed to beat you." The caption under the gamer was "This opponent wants to tear your heart out." Computers do not make good opponents. They're boring. Beating them is simply an algorithm. After the learning curve they never surprise you. They rely on efficiency, perfect timing, and perfect situational awareness.
With a human you get innovation. You have moments where you are genuinely surprised by something that happens. It's on the whole a richer more engaging experience.
By working the subscription they get the football people to try hockey in the off season thus exposing people to new games and providing more opponents to the players of those games.
All of this is based on a flawed premise. The situation you describe should never exist. If you are guilty talking to the police can never help.
Once the police ask to talk to you both you and the police become impotent. You're in lawyer land at that point. Shut the fuck up and let them do the talking.

Apples and oranges.
Assembly is lower level than either C++ or Java.
C++ and Java are the same level.
Those are some completely unrealistic numbers. They do however prove your point so I guess they're good for that if nothing else.
I think there was a hope that computing power would catch up and make VMs a competitive alternative to native code.
I've never understood this position. It always reads as, "Since we have more power we can be inefficient with it."
How is this scam not PvP all by its self?
You're just repeating an often told but completely inaccurate joke.
The game is more social and politics than spreadsheets or even combat.
A very small number would be my guess but I totally agree that there are some.
Every money making venture in Eve is scam. If it doesn't start out as one it turns into one when the pile of cash crosses a certain threshold.
There is no safe investment in Eve. We are all crooks.
I think the only reason these things continue to work is player churn.
That's nice but it doesn't address the point of my post.

Bah It ate my error messages.
Try searching for <FILEHARD>. It returns a million useless hits and 265 maybe hits.
This started years ago when they broke search.
You can't search for exact text. Quote marks are ignored. No + operator. Case is ignored. Special characters are ignored.
This renders Google completely unusable at times.
Try searching for . It returns a million useless hits and 265 maybe hits.
The first result is an URL not a content match.
Then results contains FILE:HARD. That's not what I searched for. That's a failure state.
Then it starts giving results containing "file hard". That's not what I searched for. That's a failure state.
Anything that does not exactly contain the string is not going to be applicable to my problem. There's just no way to tell Google that.
They've completely thrown away usability in exchange for speed.
You forgot cost.

This isn't jury nullification. This is simple acquittal.
No the gist of it is that he owns his car and is free to do what he wants with it.
He put a GPS on his own car. There is no privacy involved.
Very low power broadcasts don't require a license. For example the fm transmitters that plug into ipods.
Maybe I've been under the yoke of HIPAA too long but if you have sensitive information why are you trusting a third party with it?
Everything you say is true. However you are the exception case.
Everything you say is true. You must get an oxygen-free gold-plated cable or your commercials will have higher volume than the shows.
I'll sell you one at half the price of Best Buy or Monster.

Except that they're not admissible in court.
I was only offering information. I took no positions.
