Titles are called linkbait by people too boring to write titles that people care to click. If the title is generally accurate its a good title.

Grats on the raise. Your response was childish and inappropriate. If your goal is to get PR then that might be a good strategy except now in the Media you still look childish and only a certain portion will think it was appropriate. If your goal is to win this case then little things like that name calling can hurt you and do nothing more than stroke your ego.

This is good advice. I've scaled multiple sites to +3 million registered users and more than 1 million unique visitors with heavy DB usage. This is excellent advice for starting out. Along the way we found areas that could be improved and we were able to move quickly to them because our underlying DB was standard stuff. We knew what areas were breaking down and then fixed them with targeted moves to other DBs and things like memcache. Yes, each DB has a specialty but a good general DB gets you a lot of mileage because those specialty DBs do very little a general DB can't but that is often not true the other way.

You would never start a journey with cloudy destination and of a million miles by asking for a moon rover as your vehicle. As your journey develops you would start looking at other options or options for certain segments. Apps follow similar patterns.

Importantly, the posted version would let you play the game until your software (in the game) was ready to sell and then it would put up a shamer message about how you couldn't make money because everyone was pirating your game.

Or, I am a user who clicks the first link no matter what so long as it doesn't look like the link to say "I didn't request this"

Sounds neat. Looks pretty cool. Trial is 3 tests? Is there so little long term value they won't let you play with it for a couple of days unlimited?

Even without a payout this is very common in domestic abuse cases.
