Our office has a lot of Dota players so we regularly play five man dota. We range in skill from very noob to ex-pro.
The difference in skill between the ex-pro, or even several of the just very talented players and the rest of us is immense.
The trivia helps, knowing counter items and the like helps but at high level play all sorts of things become very important. For example positioning of your unit(s), to either miss a spell being cast or to physically block the person you are trying to kill makes the difference between a major win or complete loss of a fight. Or your ability to farm, last hitting creeps, stacking/jungling and maximizing your gold per second.
So yes at low level Dota is all about the trivia. I'm a better player then a random new player because I know the characters, their abilities and the items. But at the end of the day despite putting in hundreds of hours I pale in comparison to a Excellent player because I don't have the reflexes, or the split second analytical mind. In addition, and most importantly, I've not put in the hours upon hours of purposeful practice that a pro dota player has.
Dota2 being the most commonly played game on Steam has been true for several months. During which time it was "Beta", not that it was hard to get your hands on a beta key.
$4 a month per server for a rsync script I could write myself combined with our existing ldap infrastructure? If it were a nice open sourced tool I would consider it but at hundreds to thousands a month I could never justify it to myself let alone my boss.

Except not everyone is running a top of the line desktop in a first world country. Even in a first world country you have people on older laptops, slower internet, or even metered internet.
Minimizing the size of your app is still a worthy goal. Maybe not to the level pushed in the article.

If you're writing an HTML5 app, I assume your target doesn't comprise of Laptops from 1998 running IE5.

No, it might simply be a phone from 2009 on a EDGE network with poor signal. Hell, I'm routinely annoyed by slow web apps on my very nice phone from 2012 on LTE...
I read "depending on use" as a modifier to 2-3 years not on every. That is to say the cable will break sometime between 2-3 years with heavy use being sooner rather than later.
That's what I meant yes. Although I guess if you are really careful it would probably last longer. However the heat from the adapter (and the magsafe plug) will slowly degrade the rubber and glue.
The one I'm currently using is 6 years old. My boss had to replace his within a couple years and they showed him how to properly wrap the cable. He taught us and it's been fine.
Yes the new Adobe building is closer to Point of the Mountain/Thanksgiving Point than it is Provo but the old Omniture offices were up near Technology Way in the Provo/Orem region. At least that is how I recall it.
I'm probably being very defensive but I use macros for this.
qa$i odd^[jjq
and then '4@a' to run it on all the lines. In a simple case like this is it a bit more complicated than something like multiword editing but I've used this technique in cases that are far more complex then what from my understanding, multiline editing can handle.
For example I turned a spreadsheet of data into a complicated dhcpd.conf file using a couple macros.
Oh I agree that macros are a daily use thing for me and I haven't used sublimetext more than a handful of times; I was merely playing devils advocate to see if vim had an interesting feature I was unaware of that I could use in my day to day editing.
For more complex tasks like data format conversion, It's probably easier to write some small script and refine a couple of times to resolve possible conversion errors.
I use my caps as both ctrl and escape by having it mapped to control. Then if you need escape ctrl+[. It requires one finger from each hand and is very quick to press. Then if I want to page up or down in vim I still have the ctrl button easily reachable for ctrl+d and ctrl+u, etc.
