Over the short term something like that can happen. In the case of oil a lot of the buying was stockpiling with the expectation that prices would rise again.
The post was done by a mindless HR drone. Once you actually get to talk with people actually heading that section you realize the requirements are more reasonable.
PS: My next phone is probably going to be some Chinese Android phone anyway. If I had to buy a phone now it would probably be the OnePlus One.
Compaq is dead long live ASUS.
Samsung has more models. Apple has less models. Of course if you account for phone models on an individual basis it is hardly surprising Apple sells more of a given model. So what? What matters is the market segment share. Both companies have different market strategies that is all.
Samsung has like seven Galaxy S5 models alone and that is if you ignore the Galaxy Note and the other smartphone lines they have. They have two Galaxy S6 models so far. The difference is one has a bent edge and the other doesn't have a bent edge.
If people have a choice they will use their choice. So if there are 20 loyal Samsung users and 10 loyal Apple users and Samsung has 3x the models Apple has is it that surprising that more Apple users end up with the same model? Does it matter? Apple's still selling less. I don't give a fuck.
Typical Apple fanboy. When Apple loses in some metric you redefine the metric to be something that Apple can win at. Pathetic.
It is kind of like the difference between playing a Total War game vs X-COM but only worse.
Carmack sold his share of ID Software as well. It just took him longer.
Well duh. You are comparing numerical libraries for Python to what's basically an IDE with its own language. Try R instead.
In my experience users can be quite generous if you explain why you need the money and what the money will get them.
Having played both nothing transfers. The strategy level is different. Go is about unit formations and patterns. Chess is about unit tactics. There is a Japanese equivalent to Chess i.e. Shogi.
Why do you think MacOS X is considered unusable for server purposes?
Damned desktop users.
UNIX manpages were great. The problem was when people stopped writing manpages.
Combined cycle gas generation plants don't mix well with wind and solar. In a grid where a large fraction of the power comes from wind and solar you want to use the gas power plants to cover any renewable production shortfalls so you need to spool the plant up and down frequently. That basically kills any gains you get from using the combined cycle. To get optimum performance with combined cycle you need to run the plant continuously on baseload mode.
If the game is an MMO with a subscription model people can pirate the client binaries all they like.
