1. Having medium turrets and the cruiser skill does not qualify you to fly a cruiser.  Support skills will make you feel like you didn't just waste a few million ISK on a shiny piece of garbage.
2. Mining is not nearly as fun as you think it is. The novelty will wear off. Luckily, shooting at other players is more fun than you think it is, and the novelty will not wear off.

ctrl + left click = lock targe (overview or in space)
all modules are linked to a hotkey, just hover over the module to see which it is
insurance and clones!!!! update them
balanced stats work much better most of the time than highly specialized
Jeebus jumpin cowboy boots!!!! control plus left click is targe lock???? baby, where have you been all my life.
Ahem
In a more dignified tone:
1) Fly what's fun. Not what's uber, what's popular, what's fotm, but what you find fun.
2) Explore the economy early, and use your money to make more money.
3) A bad corp is worse than no corp.
4) A good corp is priceless.
5) Dont Jump into a bigger ship just becuase its bigger. Support skills must be in place or you're asking to get savaged.
6) Its just a silly game.

+Competative pvp often comes down to who has instas and scouts versus those who don't.
+If you know you'll be outnumbered WCS is your friend.
+There is more to PVP than the tank or gank mentality. EWAR, drones and leadership have all enriched the game greatly.
+Take notes! Most of EVE's gameplay is not documented.

Specialise in the ship you enjoy most, if you wanna be a small fast fighter then train for assault frigs/ interceptors and max out that skill.
If you wanna be an uber cruiser pilot then you should max out the cruiser skill, support skills are key.
Same for the battlecruiser, battleship etc, if you max out the particular spaceship skill then you get maximum bonuses.
check the bonuses, its no good fitting hybrid guns if it has energy gun bonuses and vice versa(there are exceptions)
tech 2 stuff isnt as difficult to get as you may think, most of it requires lvl4 in one skill i.e. tech 2 armor reps, tech2 shield boosters, the main tech 2 stuff that requires long skills are ships , guns, drones, missiles.
dont take player age fully you may be 3 years old character wise but only have 1 years worth of sp, and even then it may all be in industry.
a group of frigs can pwn a battleship easily with minimum losses.
if you are in a gang and the fc(fleet commmander) is drunk, leave the gang cause he will make mistakes.
when in 0.0 everyone is hostile, unless you know them, even alliance members be wary of everyone.
when travelling low sec/ 0.0 pipes check the map for amount of ships destroyed in the last hour, if a lot has been killed in one system then there is most likely a gate camp, so dont go there.
dual accounts ftw
oh and dont do drugs, stay in school
edit*** invest in a notepad, as previous poster said, use it to jot down favourite ship setups, skill scheduling, mission notes, market notes, building notes.
keep your buddy list written down, use your address book for hostiles, much better to know that if there are 20 green lights in a system then you should leave

My biggest tip: Is have fun. Dont feel forced to do anything. Hell im split 50/50 between fighting and mining atm and I really enjoy it. Sure i'm not super speciliased in either one (i can fly barges, and Bc's) but guess what? When I log in I enjoy what I'm doing wether it is running a few missions or getting the new omber spawn.
Biggest tIp: Fid sumthing to do that you enjoy.

EVE is a social game. If you login & do your thing with out talking to anyone, you've missed the point.
It's a game, have fun with it. If you get mad at EVE turn it off for awhile...

Posted earlier, but with more* info:
- Don't forget to re-insure your ships when insurance runs out. *Check status of insurance periodically by clicking that option on the station panel. You are not automatically notified when insurance expires. This only shows you the insurance on ships at that particular station.

1) bigger doesnt always equal better
2) support skills matter more than you might think
3) if you dont have anything targetted activate your modules (ie click on each one) they will start to blink. now when that target comes along just left click on it and all mods/guns you've clicked on will activate as soon as lock is finished (PS this might get some getting used to...and also much fun for your gang mates when you lock and shoot a gate rather than a wartarget!)
4) be prepared to die. a large part of eve is dieing.

Its just a game
its just a game
its just a game...... etc.,. etc.,., till fade out 
If someone gets really upset over losing a ship, its their problem for thinking pixels mean something
Doubly so when they rant at the guy who killed that ship, who was only playing a game

I want to bump this, because I think it's a great thread and it's been very helpful.
And my two cents: As stated, understand the market. It's only in the last week that I've started selling intelligently. Know how to buy and know how to sell.

Specialization is key to success! You'll never fly as many ships as well as the people who have been here for years, but with focused training you can fly a particular ship as well as anyone. The guy with 30 million skillpoints can still only fly one ship at a time, so with focused training you won't be far behind him.

The old adage "buy low, sell high" works well here. Keep a list of expensive items and track the cost across 4 or 5 regions. I've bought a couple items for 1.5 mil and 2 regions distant I sold them for 5 mil each. Buying and selling can make you as good a return as missions do (though prap's a bit less exciting)

Don't fear 0.0
Its a blast. Find a corp that lives in 0.0 and join.
In a BS you can make 10+millions ISK an hour.
It requries someplanning and their are many posts on that in these forums.

oh, you will die tho

This post is really good... some points of wisdom.
-In most aspects of fighting, be alligned to something while fighting so it's easier to warp off to survive.
-Survival means not lossing that ship you put alot of time and money into.
-To compliment previous statment, Don't fly what you can't afford to lose. Treat anything you fly into battle with as already lost.
-Don't take that nice new shiney HAC and go into PvP with a PvE setup. 
-In the long run it's cheaper to build your own ships.
And there is so much more that I could add.

If you find yourself on opposite sides of a fight with a RL friend or an ex-corpmate shoot them anyway. If they dont like the fact you shot at them then they don't understand Eve.
Give piracy a go at some point. No really do. I didn't do it for my first two years in game and was considering leaving the game. I gave it a go as "one last role of the dice" and now I'm back enjoying the game as much as I ever did. I dont pirate much any more but I found a new interest in PvP
Implants are over rated IMHO. I haven't used them except junk implants that I couldn't sell for over two years. It means I lose less when the pod pops which still happens from time to time 
Clones are NOT over rated. Mine has always been updated 1 million SP before I needed to to make sure I never forgot.

From a noob who has only been playing a couple of days...
--learn to use the map
I was running simple delivery mishs while learning basic skills last night. Get mish, click on set destination, undock, hit autopilot...play XBox until I hear that I have reached my target system...
last night I noticed a delivery was taking a while. I finally looked at my course and saw I was on jump 12 of a 35 system jump. WTF? I wound up taking a shower and then playing my XBox until I got there. After the delivery, I choose "shortest route" rather than "safest route"...changed it from a 35 system jump to a six system jump. Worst 16k ISK I have earned yet.

When you get fed up, mad, and just plain sick of Eve and decide to cancel your subscription, set up a long training time skill and don't give your stuff away. You'll be back! I know!
