If you want to make a difference, quit trying to cash out as a 25 year old millionaire.

Get a PhD and do research. That's the real risk in life, that you might work your ass off for little pay, spend 30 years chasing a dream, and fail in the end.

But the people who succeed change the world.

Interestingly, most Nobel Prize winners donate a large percentage of their prize money to charity or research. They weren't interested in early retirement in the first place.

> I think the idea is that instead of using the current journal system...professors will post straight to Academia and bypass publishers altogether

This might work in fields where there is more collaboration than competition, such as most of physics, but it won't work in the biomedical sciences. People want and need to publish in high impact, well-established journals. That's just the reality for now.

The cost of hosting someone for a year is pretty high.

If you become a yacht salesman, are you expected to sell one on the first day? Are you a failure because someone else sold a hundred hot dogs?

It's important to point out that he wasn't arrested merely because he posted a message on Facebook. That was just a tip that lead to concrete evidence of the crime, namely his damaged vehicle. Cops follow leads all the time, and Facebook is a part of the ecosystem now.

Do you have an email address?

G+ has 135 million "stream active" users. Those are people who really meant to go to plus.google.com, not click something in Gmail.

It certainly isn't trademarked. :)

One way to look at is that there were only about 6 states that could go either way, so he picked 6/6.

I saw one that said, "I would have voted for Obama if he had accepted my Farmville request", and it ticked up for Obama.

It may be different for different cohorts, but for my social circle, SMS is the de facto communication medium. I deleted my Facebook account over a year ago and still keep up with friends, plan events, etc., all via text message.

Thus, there really was no downside in terms of being "out of the loop", while I get the benefit of not feeling like shit because I'm continually inundated with self-promotion posts that make others (most of whom I barely know) look like they are doing more important things than me.

Reminds me of the Mac Mini colocation, but more extreme. Just want to throw in that I have a KVM with Edis and they are a solid hosting company in that price range.

No, I had several options on the page linked by OP. When I went to the locationmanagement.vzw.com page, it says, "There are no services available. A location service must be downloaded on the handset to be listed here."

> Simply choose multiple choice questions and stack the answers in the right order (people usually click in certain pattern when doing it at "random").

Ideally, you could randomize the order of the answers for each person, and later divide them up by order presented to detect any bias. This is something that online surveys make much easier than paper surveys.
