I don't think seed money is the problem. You start a company in the cloud using basic plans that total to $0/month.

I feel videos are more hopeful for the people seeking help on these topics.

"We have noted that similar attacks have also been carried out against Wikileaks itself, yet so far, nobody has been arrested in connection with these attacks, nor are there even any signs of an investigation into this issue at all,"
I think that is one of the most important points of this article.

You could always do your entrepreneurial things you wish and go back to school later. Mind you, it gets tougher each year to go back. But really, what's from stopping you from doing what you want? There is no need to "fall in" to the norms. Do what you want. It's your life.
I will say, though, that you miss many opportunities if you choose to pass up on school. I would take the advice of others and pick a major you truly enjoy. College is for you. It is not high school. Please, do what makes you happy, not what makes your parents happy. You are now grown up. Welcome to the world of responsibility and decision making. It's fun. Enjoy :)

If he still believes in what he said in this article, he probably likes it but does not think it will be the "Next Big Language".
kotrin | 15 years ago | on: Twitter Confirms That They’re Being Blocked In Egypt
I think it's more along the lines of the Egyptian government is blocking twitter because they saw how social networking effected the same type of incident in Tunisia. They are scared.
