You misinterpret what he was asking. If the bomb was set to detonate when it recieved the radio waves from the detector, it wouldn't matter from how far away the bomb was detected, it would still explode, causing massive casualties.
I will preface this by saying that I am your antithesis, a high school student. I find that gaming (in moderation) helps relieve the stress of school, and also to clear the mind of what may have happened at school. This allows for better concentration and completion of homework, which can lead to better grades. The key to that is, of course, moderation. Obviously, someone who spends 40+ hours a week playing Oblivion isn't going to be doing much homework (or focusing that much on schoolwork, for that matter), but a moderate amount of gaming can be a good thing.

Whoa, this is Slashdot, he probably didn't even read the tfa, and if he did, he definitely didn't get to the bottom.
