"A year from now, this site wont exist, but the kid is set for life."
More than likely a few years from now the site wont exist the kid definatly wont be set for life he will probably be somewhat broke from sinking his million into 5 or 6 halfbaked idea that wont get lucky like this one did, and will be kicking himself in the ass for not going to college.
Failure is a great learning tool and you can potenionaly learn more than you did in 4 years of college, you certainly wont make the same mistake twice when you lose you shirt on something. The problem this kids gonna have is he tasted success and it was easy success he will figure his next million is just another idea away.
And now he has a 1 million dollar shirt to lose trying for more.
"He can put that million in a high interest earning account and continue to do fuck all for the rest of his life."
where is that high intrest that can let you do fuck all for the rest of your life with a million ?
a mill dont go that far nowadays its still more than i have and sure im a bit jealous that he made a mill so easy. but break it down a bit.
safe investments certificate of deposit yielding what nowadya 2%
2% interest per year $20,000 per year before taxes. cant really do fuck all with that.
Kudos to the kid for making the cash but in reality he will probably have less that 20% left in a few years then kick himself in the ass for not going to college cause he had a mill in the bank.
job paying 150,000 a year make a mill in less than 7 years and can make the second mill in less than 14 years and the third in less than 21.
of course i will have made my second million in in less than 181 years, im still working on my first million will be in year 91 (walmart sucks)
That was realy funny. Your absolutly correct Now that ive stopped jerking off where the hell do i find a hooker...in iowa that accepts bread and butter as payment ?
So did you learn everything there was to learn in high school math, history, english, chemistry? Or did you learn the basics?
Of course i only learned the basics, but those basics would have been even less had i had to be taught about shiva visnu,devi , the dharma and so on....
Those all all common beliefs. 4 years of high school will only cover a small portion of all the common beliefs out there.
Or is it really that a certain group of people want only thier beliefs covered in schools.
I personally dont really care what people beliefs are, thats up to them. School is for the non religious teachings, church is for the religious teachings.
how many people here have had to train someone to follow a procedure and somehow that procedure gets whittled down to the least number of steps that will get the job done.
"Why don't you explain both sides warts and all and make it a learning experience" Both sides can turn into 3 sides then 43 sides, do you propose we spend 4 years of high school teaching whatever ideas of universe creation are out there ? Does that mean i can submit 2 or 3 new universe creation ideas every year or so and they will be teached.
if that happened kids would have to spend 12 hours in church on saturday and sunday learning math.
"But we definitely (in my mind) get *something* that has to be accounted for, and hard science alone can't account for it"
hard science right now cant account for it. go back 300 years ago and hard science couldnt account for a lot more of it. Go ahead 300 years from now and hard science can account for a lot more of it.
Sooner or later there will be nothing left that hard science cant account for.
"It is 'better' because it allows for simpler motor and gearing, since the only powered part is the rotating weight, whose movement "...is all in a plane parallel to the motion surface. No right angle gearboxes are required."
so this is better than a round wheel with simpler motor and gearing whos only powered part is the wheel. no right angle gearboxes ?
right angle gearboxes are not required for wheels, they are used where design necessitates them.
admit it, this is useless except in very rare circumtances where a design like this is warrented.

all i seem to hear before a new windows release is how xxxx is stable now xxxx starts up in only 4 seconds xxxx doesnt have this problem xxxx doesnt have that problem.
Windows has had commercial server software for how long ? and its just fixing a stack limitation when ?
call attaention to my cyclotron and they will pass laws and ordanaces banning them,and i just replaced the electrode cooling pipes with a radiator from a 1972 ford maverick.
If it music they are concerned about. But if its the cia banging on your door cause your ip is connected to a terror plot i guess that denfense maybe still will hold up.....After 8 years in jail until it goes to trial,if it ever goes to trial.

I would be willing to bet that theres a 8th grade dropout with less than 10 dollars in his pocket that could jack a car a lot faster then the top mit graduate with a wallet full of fifties.
If you dont belive him dont run a ms server, if you do belive him run a ms server. I have found that the quality of a product is inversly proporianate to the amount of advertising needed.
ms = large amounts of advertising dollars linux = word of mouth
Im sure there are ad dollars going to linux the above was just a generalization.
I am certainly not gonna change my server os cause he said ms is better.

Great post.
then in 2007 top 100

Is it just me or does the top 30 games just seem a bit much.
Pick the top 5 or 10 even but 30 ?
What is is do they get paid by the game ?
buy a bunch of opera stock at 3$
write an acticle statimg microsoft should buy it
wait while a bunch of people buy opera stock hoping microsoft does buy it

Not when you are watching but when you are not.
Of course you would have voted for osama bin laden
