I feel like the sudden production and availability of a million lifetimes worth of [real, relevant] video would bring civilization to a crawl and drop the general population's IQ, much like what current technology is doing to the youth in developed countries (z0MG LOLz!!!1one)
Why was the parent modded down? In phase II and III trials they vaccinate large numbers of people (more in phase III) and after a couple years they compare the rate of infection in the vaccinated group versus a control group.
Surely you realize AIDS is a progression of HIV. So naturally if you get the vaccine prior to HIV exposure you cannot get AIDS, assuming the vaccine works of course. Thus the vaccine does protect against both (in a unexposed host).
Similarly we have the "flu vaccine". We don't bother listing all the viruses that cause the flu because they don't really matter; the disease is the important part. HIV by itself never killed anyone.

Did anyone else read the title and think someone put a big electronic wall in the bathroom that can be written on like a tablet pc?
What happens when you turn off apoptosis, and cells which turn "sick" are no longer able to die?
Cancer.
I plan to seed for a while. I won't be installing it myself for a couple months to allow time for most of the bugs to be patched.
Call me old-fashioned but I like a stable operating system.
May I be the first to say it's about time the kernel devs paid some attention to desktop users. Servers aren't the only ones out there running Linux!
Yeah, I know what you mean; I don't like it either but it's the only thing I use and I still can't get enough of it.
I thought firefox was the beginning of the end for IE.

Drivers breaking the rules to get out of traffic jams reduces the number of cars in traffic jams.
In other news... passengers jumping out of airplanes leaves more room for other passengers.
I see blatant plagiarism gets you a +5 funny on /. these days.
sure.
less_salty_water is salt_water nonetheless.
Dude, I am totally going to put one of these awesome banners on my site!
??? -> Taco Bell -> Fourthmeal There, fixed it for you.
Too bad there aren't 100 browsers for windows.
What about Opera? Didn't they start the whole thing to begin with?
I just wanted to commend you on an insightful post (no mod points)
The objection occurs when the government uses taxpayer money to conduct activities that a great number of people consider to be immoral.
If you like dead cow analogies then perhaps it is like forcing a vegetarian to eat the dead cow.
Any substance can be deadly. I say we just continue letting dumb-asses kill themselves as part of natural selection.
As a pharmacist, I know that the current FDA limit is no more than 4,000mg per day. Where did your number come from?
Closed casket.

Right, but if you don't get the virus you can't get the syndrome.
Sounds like if this is for real, HIV will go the way of smallpox and polio.
Funny you should mention polio because Africa is the last continent that still has polio infection. Africa is also the heart of the AIDS epidemic.
