If stocks have already started to rise in pre-market trading, do you still buy the stock at the price it last closed at (if you put in a buy order)? Since the trading game doesnt seem to update with the pre-market prices.

Facebook has gone down in usability, people are steering away from it. Games that Facebook had are now all going mobile, ads aren't worth anything due to click farms, etc.

tl;dr people dislike Facebook more and more and I'm sure it'll die out at one point just like MySpace and other social networks before that. The only reason I (and probably many others) still have a Facebook account is because everyone uses Facebook chat and lots of events and organizing is done through Facebook.

Engineering in the oil and gas industry largely involves figuring the requirements of various pieces of a plant or rig and then ordering those pieces from a supplier and evaluating the documentation they send back to ensure things meet the standards they asked for.

On the macro scale though, it largely a sale of man hours between oil companies and engineering firms with the intent when all is said and done, you have something that works.

For people that build stuff, they're really fucking terrible at documenting things. Which gives me a job and takes up about half their time as thy try to figure this shut out.

No I don;t deal with crap coins even if i could make some scratch, not worth the trouble imo.

Mined doge because I was monitoring it's reddit statistics and saw the enormous growth rate approaching litecoin. I knew that would be and indicator of it's success, becasue in my mind I model a crypto like a ponzi scheme. Except, really even regular money is a ponzi scheme. It needs two things to gain and maintain value.

A regular growing userbase

And a power projection mechanism.

Reddit is great in growing the userbase. The meme greatly would aide in grabbing users. Tipping and donating to the Jamaican bobsled team and attracting free talent to develop apps and stuff for the coin is like the power projection. It has everything. I knew as soon as dogecoin was getting tons of shit submitted on dogecoindev and the jamacan bobsled team initiative was launched the coin would be huge. It was unique fresh and viral.

I'm not so sure how long it might last, but I am still mining it until I see something better. I put a few dogecoins into moolah.ch on the off chance it isn't a scam too. i think moolah is a scam, but if it isn't, i will be rich.
