Science is easy. Changing the behaviour and social traditions of a huge chunk of the world population that sees nothing wrong with their ways isn't. I think it's a better idea to stick to the science. More scientific knowledge always has absolute value, while changing the behaviour of people relies on morals, and is therefore clearly of subjective value.
Population will increase, whether we find immortality or not. Are you suggesting we should let everyone that nature would kill die, banning medical care altogether, so that nature can keep the population in check?
I have a better idea. Let's simply solve the overpopulation problems by expanding our resources as our population expands.
You don't power off an MRI after use. It's always on except for maintenance. The reason medical bills are expensive in the US is become the medical system is crap. In good countries, the national health care system pays for your medical needs, and ensures that if you have to pay it's affordable.
Ummm... how am I supposed to take notes if I skip the class alltogether?
Take someone else's? How about the teacher's? Surely you realize he already has notes and could make copies of all he is going to write to all students. As a matter of fact, a lot of teachers do it, it's called duplicated notes.
That makes no sense. Whatsoever.
I'm sorry, there is nothing I can do if you can't understand simple English.
Not everyone learns the same; I find that I don't fully understand a topic until I've written my notes, looked at them, and gone "oh, shit, now it makes sense!"
How about you skip class altogether and just read notes then?
The reason we hold class is because the interesting thing isn't the notes, it's the class itself.
The problem is, if you want to read mail on more than one platform - phone, tablet and PC - you need one or more of them to use a remote message store.
Both POP3 and IMAP are protocols to access a remote message store. IMAP has more advanced features, like keeping track of what has been read and what hasn't.
which is going to cost you in battery lifetime and possibly in mobile data bills.
This is nothing compared to the average consumption of a smartphone like what the Facebook application requires.
Also, you don't really want to search email on a phone: That would be slow and run down your battery.
Yet all email clients on Android do this.
can't tell you why people want to read email on phones, it seems crazy to stress yourself like that when you don't really have to, but apparently they do.
Because emails contain important information, and you want to have it as early as possible even when you're on the move.
Don't all email clients do this? Are those people so infatuated with web applications that they don't realize true applications do everything on the client?

Why is this modded insightful?
Are some non-hippy people seriously considering negative growth and other absurd anti-globalist options as viable?

The anachronisms are intrinsic to the genre. I doubt most kids are knowledgeable enough to identify all of them anyway.
From what you're saying, it seems that they like the stories, but do not like the act of reading. That's the fault of the parents, not the teachers.
Yet Romeo + Juliet was perfectly fine to the modern viewer.
I don't understand. Reading Shakespeare is enjoyable.
What is wrong with those kids?
First sentence on Wikipedia.
Take someone else's?

A class is made for you the understand the subject topic.
Only note something once you've understood it.
Some students still haven't grasped this, which is astounding.
Too bad you don't know what innovation is.
Innovation is bringing ideas to market, which is exactly what he did.
No one claimed he ever invented those ideas.
I don't understand.
Why is a luxury brand making a cheap product? Are they purposely trying to tarnish their image?
Why aren't you correcting your daughter? Do you want her to end up intellectually challenged?
Why is it always when you find an interesting underrated comment that you're out of mod points?
That's what happens when you don't subscribe to a legal protection insurance.
We've already made such observations with chimps.
Why is it surprising it works with women too?
IIS runs on Microsoft Windows.
GoDaddy administrators do not have the skill to manage Linux boxes.
Wasn't the Neo 1973 orange too?
Surely both will share the same fate.
Are you implying social psychology is a real science?
There is also the PUSH variant of IMAP that doesn't even require to check at all.

I've seen people that drink soda during meals.
The problem is social.

When you purchase music, you actually purchase a license. Your rights are whatever the seller gives to you through the license. There is no ambiguity.
