Lets just say that I love the internet .... so much so that my girlfriend thinks of it as my mistress - someone she has to fight with for attention

Epiphany
Its wrong to just try to fix symptoms of problems without even bothering to look at the root cause of things. The root needs to fixed - not right away but comprehension can ease the suffering of fixing all the little things that it has caused.

Incentive
In Freakonomics the author describes how incentives make the world go round (.....apparently there's a movie made on the book that should be out soon)
I personally think a positive incentive feels much better than a negative one. Try telling someone that they've got a good physique - that'll definitely get them back to exercise faster.

Piracy
Every artist I know uses photoshop - but i dont think even one has paid for it(I would use it too if my laptop was a tad faster).... but adobe is losing loads of money because everyone loves free stuff.(Some disagree)
Personally I think the only practical way to stop software piracy is to have server side software (a la world of warcraft)
that's where web based apps could win.... but FOSS will soon change a lot of reasons.

Laws of Deadlines
1st law of deadlines: rate of dong work is inversely proportional to time left for deadline
What it means- High priority things (important and urgent) get done first - always
2nd law of deadlines: (Physical)Distance from work directly proportional to chances of finishing on time.
Corollary- You're more likely to finish something right in front of you
People who make lists basically set daily deadlines (so maybe that's why that works...... most of the time at least....)
