OMG, I hope you were flamebaiting....I see why you posted as an anonymous coward.
A job is just something you can use to help you collect money
Give me a break. No offense at all to those who decide to follow the academic path, but you are full of crap. If you want to publish papers, go knock yourself out, but to assert that sitting in your academic ivory tower is the only true path to success is incredible horse shit.
This may come as a shock to a published, Ph.D. such as yourself, but there are lots of ordinary "day job" folks who not only earn a decent salary (shudder, shudder) but they enjoy what they do, innovate in their fields, etc.
Yeah, thanks for straigtening us all out. Getting tenure at some pissant college is what we should all be going after....
Mod me troll if you want, but at least I'll use my own handle.
Time passes far too quickly, responsibilities appear all too unexpectedly.
I *prize* the time I "wasted" in my late teens/early twenties. I travelled, I developed life-long hobbies. I tinkered with technology and developed new skill sets. I learned a lot about what true friendship was (and wasn't).
I may have "buckled down" a bit later than many, but when I did I cinched that buckle tighter than I would have if I hadn't had a chance to mature at my own pace.
Few people grow old and regret the fun they had as a kid.
I'd like to see the lads from Buenos Aires field a competing team of automatons. When the going gets tough they can whack the ball into the goal with their little robotic arms and blame it on "the Hand of Robby"
Must be a slow news day when front page has a troll post designed to shock us with the revelation that our conversations are being recorded by companies who warn us in advance that we are being recorded....
Next we'll be covering the nefarious practices of companies who charge our credit cards after we sign sales slips and utility companies who send us bills after we request service...
Lasers are all fun and games for cats, but never try this with your dog as prolonged use can make them neurotic. Our dog trainer is working with a family's pup right now. Poor thing flinches and jumps whenever any lights blink or flash and will only eat in a dark room.

Ah. Um. This one goes to eleven...
Precisely my point. "Waste" is a subjective term.
How come you say "dial" a number instead of push a number?
Anyone *really* old remember the letter prefix phone numbers? "Just call Zenith 4265. Operators standing by..."This was intended for the Anon. Coward post beneath this parent. My bad.

I suspect that under the sweater and trousers he IS wearing a bikini....
Of course the Beowulf cluster is on fire....
Excretion = manners? Hhmm. Does that mean someone who has no manners doesn't excrete?
Sounds more like "Artificial Physiology for the Robot Age" to me....I'd like to see the lads from Buenos Aires field a competing team of automatons. When the going gets tough they can whack the ball into the goal with their little robotic arms and blame it on "the Hand of Robby"
