Q: Apple only released their battery replacement service because of all the bad publicity from iPod's Dirty Secret.
A: While often claimed, this couldn't be further from the truth. Apple released the battery replacement program November 14. ipodsdirtysecret.com was only registered on November 20, and started being heavily publicized on November 21. Additionally, Apple had been planning the AppleCare programs for months - these types of service programs don't just happen overnight - before Casey Neistat even had his first contact with Apple. The video campaign had nothing to do with Apple's rollout of the battery replacement program.
Scanners are very stupid devices: they do EXACTLY what the driver tells them to do, up to and including:
Scanning off the edge of the document.
Overpowering the motor or lamp.
Trying to go both ways at the same time (for dual-motor gigs).
Feeding and ejecting paper at the same time in auto-loaders (thus destroying the document on dual-motor setups).
Reading the SANE site I see that they have encountered several of these in bugs and lost several scanners and documents in the process. Before you use this, check the site for what it can and will do for your scanner and read all the warnings Bad drivers can destroy scanners.
Most of the drivers are okay, but there's always one or two that will kick you.
Which is why you move to Texas where $14/hr is pretty damn good. It's not enough to support more than your own person, but it's an apartment and a car payment, certainly.
I understand people enjoy living where they are (a fondness of home or just a reluctance to move) but I could never intentionally live in a place where the inflation rate is that high. I mean, I'm in Austin now and it's pretty bad compared to Corpus or Laredo or such (small apartments there are about $0.55/sq. ft. and it starts around $0.85 here for really crappy places) but to live somewhere were rent was $2/sq. ft. if you're lucky? Insane. Just insane.
(That comes out to, for a loner's 600 sq. ft. one-bedroom, about $350-400, $550-$650, and $1,000-$1,400, respectively; everything's approximate because if I was good at math I wouldn't let the computer do it for me:) ).

But, then, here's the article I've been looking for all day. This has more than enough information that a specific example is not needed: The AIDS Dilemma.
Actually, I would. I've thought about that before and if I could get enough media attention to make it worthwhile, and if I could talk to people on both sides in person about it beforehand, I really believe I would do it.
Plenty of studies. Here is the NIH fact sheet with numerous references.
The first argument there is false. The very first one. AIDS fails Koch's postulates with wild abandon now, as it did in 1980-1984. HIV was simply not found in the blood of people with AIDS in that time frame. It failed it then and still does.
It's found in the blood of people with AIDS today because they are being treated for HIV. The treatment is the cause. AZT kills. Everyone knows this, and no one has ever said otherwise. The drug is lethal.
They can't have "had" HIV--it's a persistent infection--it stays around for life.
Untrue. Many people who just let it run it's course cease to have detectable amounts of HIV antibodies in their bloodstream.
There is an excellent correlation between HIV and AIDS: almost all people infected with HIV will eventually develop AIDS, while immunosuppression or AIDS symptoms in people not infected with HIV are very rare.
Of course this is true. Once again, it's the treatment causing the disease. Name one AIDS patient who is not being treated. Not HIV. AIDS. When you look at that patient, look at his history of drug use. You will see cocaine or nitrites.
The problem is that we are looking for people to kill now. We are HIV-testing large groups of people and "treating" them before they are even showing signs of disease. Of course, if the treatment is the cause, these people will develop AIDS. Of course. And then there will be an HIV->AIDS progression because we are making that progression.
Poppers are not a reasonable explanation for AIDS because they are not used in much of the world where HIV is prevalent,
HIV is not prevalent in much of the world. Supposed AIDS cases are. Read my other comment to this article about disease + AIDS vs. disease - AIDS and you will see this is not the case at all.
and all the other factors that Duesberg has proposed have existed for much longer than AIDS has been around.
"All the other factors" are false? That's a blanket. Which statements? You can't just throw that in there without backing it up.
Rather than ask questions, there's a whole site dedicated to this. There are literally hundreds of papers there and links to even more books about the topic. It's not just Duesberg, though he's the loudest. It's dozens of well-respected scientists and biologists.
But anti-retrovial therapy for HIV clearly works better than doing nothing at all
Really? Name someone doing "nothing at all" for an "HIV" infection who is worse for it? One. Just one. Any studies? Anything that's something other than you talking out of your ass?
I have one. The late tennis pro Arthur Ashe. He started the path to turning from AZT but never did. His wife and child both had HIV, but never received treatment. They live today, happy, healthy, and HIV+. Arthur Ashe remained on "treatment" until his death, but prevented their treatment until symptoms showed. They never did.
Natural immunity? Hardly. Their counts of HIV antibodies far exceeded his even when he first started treatment (measuring HIV antibodies is the only known HIV test). Yet, though their bodies were obviously picking a fight, they remained healthy.
HIV is a harmless retrovirus. It's been around for ages, much longer than 20 years. Poppers have not been in use as a daily recreational drug for more than twenty years. Look into it rather than spewing off the party statement. It's quite awakening.
That's because there are *no* tests for HIV in Africa. They are using the WHO's concept of what AIDS is. There's a very amusing (as amusing as this gets) description of this in Duesberg's book:
Any of 30 diseases - HIV = Any of 30 diseases Any of 30 diseases + HIV = AIDS
So, in Africa, they are looking for "any of 30 diseases," assuming HIV, and calling it AIDS. Then "treating" them to death. It's a whole other sham over there.
In short: there is no AIDS crisis in Africa. People are dying of everyday diseases and need everyday medicine, not AIDS drugs.
The short of it is that one egocentric and famous researcher at the NIH said it was "HIV" that caused it and everyone followed his lead.
Duesberg follows another mishap like this (yes! It's happened before!) in Japan where an anti-diarrheal drug was causing, yep, diarrhea! Thirty years later they figured it out. Why? They were looking for a viral cause and not a chemical one. They kept prescribing the drug to people with the symptoms and scratched their heads as they got worse and died. AIDS and AZT prelude.
Scientific specialization is the root of all scientific evils, and this is one more reason why.
And since the top poster was modded down, I'll link to virusmyth.net again. Great site, and it's what started me on the long road to a violent wake up.
Repair Permissions uses the files in/Library/Receipts on the drive being repaired to repair it. I've successfully repaired a 10.1.5 machine from 10.2 and vice-versa before. It works fine.
You're right, it's nothing new. It was right then and it's right now. ALL the evidence goes towards it. Every last one of the "HIV+" patients that refuses treatment survives healthily. Every. Last. One.
Every single "HIV+" patient that has opted for treatment has died or is dying. Every. Single. One.
It's more than a theory, it's just plain fact.
Now, plots and conspiracy theories, well, bah. Right now it's more that those responsible for the biggest scientific fuck up in history would be sued into oblivion if they "admitted" it now, so I'm sure it will be "discovered" at some point.
Best book about the topic: Inventing the AIDS Virus. Duesberg talks about the whole thing, beginning to end with pages of data, studies, and fact after fact. He knows there's skepticism, so he lays it out.
AIDS is not a viral disease but a nervous system disorder caused by the death of brain cells by chemicals. Those that are "treated" for HIV are given AZT, a highly-toxic drug given to cancer patients, which causes the same nervous-system disorders that the nitrites family of drugs cause (such as poppers).
All right, we're heading off-topic, so let's do it right.
HIV is the name given to a very real, and very harmless retrovirus. It does multiply and spread, but it spreads with a 50% chance from mother to child and a one in a thousand chance via sex. That's a retrovirus for you.
AIDS is not spreading like a virus. In fact, it's spreading with the the same rate that, oddly, the drug AZT is being spread. And it's spreading one to three years behind the prescription.
There are books upon books by Duesberg and others that talk about this. It was a virologist's misdiagnosis in the beginning and since it was the NIH that did it, well, they can't turn back now. There's so much more going on than can be explained here, but it's not "every corporation is out to get you" but, rather, specialization is the root of all scientific evil.

It's not cheap. UT has 300-500 computers. VT has 1,100. If UT had 1,000 units the cost, at the same ratio, would break $6M. VT spent $5.7M.

Peer-reviewed journals? That's all you want?
Enjoy.

You're saying HIV. He's saying AIDS. Big difference...

Oh, yeah, that's all we need: to be late to work because your mode of transportation:
- Stopped to refuel without provocation.
- Attempted to make another vehicle during a traffic jam.
- Ejected you into the exhaust of another vehicle.
That said, mechanics would be a lot cheaper.
