That's literally Valve's strategy. Counterstrike, Team Fortress, Dota, Portal... Also even graphic novels are generally two person teams. I think trying to make an indie game with a small team (2-4 people) is way more realistic th

You can exit from MTGO pretty easily? There are automated bots that will buy your cards for tickets, and those same companies will give you cash for those tickets (95 cents per ticket right now, not a terrible rate).

While that's true, it's not as big a deal as you'd think if these cars are dramatically safer. Auto insurance is a 180 billion dollar industry in the US (that's a billion with a B). If the cars are actually safer, they w

It's more neutral because it takes out a bunch of useful information and leaves practically nothing left, like a news story that's unbiased because it doesn't bother actually saying any facts. The original title doesn't even explain that Go

No, she's been placed in an "alternative" school. That's not a place for learning, it's a place where the state sticks kids that have to be educated but aren't in prison at that moment, to keep them away from the normal system. The law says

Not that it's really an issue here because Coffescript is basically Javascript anyway, but legible source is important even for developers who don't end up reading it. The people who actually read the code are a small subset of the group th

In theory, companies return money to their stockholders when they don't believe they can profitably invest the money internally. Large mature energy companies are a common example. Stock repurchasing is a way to hand out dividends while avo
