A raiding guild for 40 players is typically composed of no less than 60-70 regular players to deal with precisely this problem. Top guilds will often have enough players to fill three or more raid groups in order to have enough prepared pla

The factors that make it seem most like a work of fiction: - No screenshots with players visible. - Play only continues when all 30 people are online at once. Anybody who has tried to make something like this happen will immediately notice

The disregard for the physics of the situation is actually quite insulting. The "demonstration" is so far from realistic its not even worth a debunking. Here is an example of what this man is claiming to have done, actually being done, by a

Not exactly. There were 3.500m people alive then, and about 7.000m now, but because many of the 3.500m died and were replaced over those 44 years, you would actually be older than more than half of the world with high probability. According

Out of curiosity; Google Chrome was released about 37 months ago. 15 versions were released since then, so Google averaged about 15/37 versions per month, the "Chrome constant." Lynx was released in 1992, around 228 months ago. 228(15/37)=v

Were I to infer anything from that data, it would be that "mindshare" is not a significant metric. 95% market share, and near parity in "mindshare?" That smacks of irrelevancy to me.

I think there's the same dichotomy in tech journalism as there is in science journalism, perhaps other journalism as well but I'm not qualified to comment on other topic's veracity, namely, that the people who in fact understand the topics

Maybe it's not reasonable now or ever but I'd quite love to think of Google as a company capable of doing things that are immensely interesting but have no obvious, immediate, practical "use." I don't know if they are there quite yet. It se

To be simplistic, it seems that things are quite different this time. The fundamentals of crises may be the same or similar, but the world has -never- been linked in the way it currently is, and the world population, and total consumption h
