They would tell me that it was expected of me to get good grades, and I didn't deserve a reward for doing what I was supposed to be doing anyways.
That's a huge problem right there. When you only use negative motivation (i.e., you do something wrong - you get something taken away from you), you reinforce the "if I don't do anything, I can't do anything wrong" behavior. Positive motivation is important to make kids actually try to succeed, instead of just trying to avoid failure.
So, this Acer is not the first 3D laptop in the sense that it exists in 3 dimensions, it is not the first 3D laptop in the sense of having a 3D capable display, maybe there is another usage of the term 3D?
Now that's a weird question to ask. Who needs entertainment anyway? You don't *need* it, you *want* it.
WoW (or generally a game designed to be addictive) makes you spend extra time to keep it entertaining. Other forms of entertainment aren't necessarily designed that way and hence don't require you to sink time into them to keep them entertaining.
Besides, I wasn't trying to justify him spending whatever time he's spending the way he likes to spend it. I was pointing out the difference between drugs and games. Some people see the world black and white and refuse to acknowledge everything in between.
Easily. He switches WoW for some other form of entertainment that isn't as addictive, doesn't require so much devotion. That's also why others suggested sex.
What happens if the old machine died? You have to download all of your games all over again. With physical media you can easily install at your leisure.
I know you're joking but...
If god is omnipotent, there's no way any human action can limit god's power. So humans are free to do whatever they want without worrying about crossing paths with god.
Usually anonymity is associated with the lack of responsibility, but in this example, when people are voting, they know they'll be stuck with their choice for several years. What they experience is sort of collective responsibility: on one hand they're anonymous, on the other hand, they are collectively responsible for their actions (or inaction), even though they are individually anonymous.
Because it's easier to download a game than go to the shop and buy it?
Because I'm going to use no-cd crack anyway, since I absolutely hate swapping CDs?
Steam solves quite a few problems for me - when the game is on Steam, I buy it there (though I still hate the fact that it often costs more than buying it locally). Steam doesn't require me to swap CDs to play my games. Steam doesn't even require me to HAVE those CDs - I can uninstall the game at any time and simply redownload it later, when I feel like it.
Yes, it doesn't solve all problems, but it's certainly a step in the right direction.
.. won't be an issue as long as anyone who opts in for clinical immortality is also stripped of their fertility. In fact, i'd imagine underpopulation would be a significant risk if enough people take it.
We're not built, physically or mentally, to be able to survive more than a hundred years of changes, and we're terribly poor at letting go of things that don't match the facts unless they physically hurt us.
Read between the lines. Religions weren't made for fun, but to guide people without providing explanation and proof to every detail, even those people who have nothing to lose (by telling them they have a soul and afterlife they can still lose).
They are the ones who caused the plague to strike the LORD's people.
This might be the real reason - having sex with a whore would just spread "the plague". And since there was having no way to heal them, killing is the only choice.
Only the young girls who are virgins may live; you may keep them for yourselves.
The fact that they can keep virgins confirms this - if you're really killing women because "These are the very ones who followed Balaam's advice and caused the people of Israel to rebel against the LORD at Mount Peor," then what gives virgins extra protection?
old adage, that when guns are outlawed only the outlaws have guns, is literally true
So you're actually comparing a completely different country in a very specific situation, specific people, mindset, education, development, etc. And you're blaming the difference in the number of deaths on a single law? My bet (which is likely worth as much as yours) is that outlawing guns actually helps, but all the other influences outweigh it.

You're contradicting yourself there.
Tell them to buy Windows 7 with Firefox bundled by OEM. There. Problem solved.
Why command line? Windows explorer can handle normal FTP pretty well.

Just because you failed doesn't mean others can't succeed.
I have. And unlike drugs, you can replace a game with pretty much any other form of entertainment. That's the difference.
If you prefer physical media, you can burn it yourself: Using the Steam Backup Feature

When everyone is genius, your average genius becomes the middler and the whole society is elevated.
More genius is not a bad thing the way you make it sound.

The title correctly states, that "Girls = Boys at Math", because the scope is the whole world, not just western part of it.
You, however, seem to be capable of seeing the world only from the western perspective.
Not once you get Vista running on it.
So make any unreported leaks fined by a considerably greater amount, once uncovered.
What about people who already have offsprings?
Then we would have to change.
