Actually, that's a bit harsh if the people aren't properly educated about the disease.
How about this, start a mass education campaign. Tell them how to avoid the disease. If the infection rate doesn't start dropping, there is no hope. I wish I could say otherwise, but I don't hold out much hope.
HAve you thought what wide availability of this drug will mean? If the people are as uneducated as you say, will they be able to understand that the drug will not cure them, and that no real cure is in sight? I would argue that the drug's availability would lessen the fear caused by the AIDS boogyman, probably leading to MORE cases.
Maybe the Brazilian gov't should try educating their people, rather than fucking them over and then stealing from others to try and fix their mistakes.
I sincerely doubt all the AIDS cases in Brazil were caused by blood transfusion, or passed from mother to child. A high percentage of those infected became that way by choices they made in regard to sexual activity and sharing of needles. In this age of education, AIDS is generally acquired do to ignoring precautions. Ignorance is no answer.
"There are 750 million people in Africa - obviously Africa is a great place to live, else there'd be zero."
WTF is that? What bullshit! That's like saying "90% of Black Americans live in the Ghetto - obviously the Ghetto is a great place to live, else there'd be zero."
I refuse to appologize for my self-preservation instinct.
The abstract here intimated that it was a robot arm or something. I was all excited to see a robot arm and hand controlled to simulate a real pitcher's arm. What do I get? Same ol' auto-pitcher technology with a little extra control grafted on. Cool, yes, but seems a little like bait-and-switch to me. What do they pay the editors here for?!
A good product while it works, although it only runs on Windows. Some insiders have created a unix port, but I sometimes wonder if the design is faulty. We have a large userbase, and even the head developers are unable to explain how one or more community servers will suddenly drop all connections. That being said, the integration with other more sophisticated groupware tools makes SameTime the only real choice for business.
You mean, putting European Health and Welfare ahead of US Money. Well of course they do. And those in the US would naturaly put US Health and Welfare ahead of European money. The problem is, that there are many US residents who would tell you that that is OK.
It's all so clear, Miguel is playing into Gates' hands! By calling upon the legend of a virus found in monkeys being the precursor to HIV and AIDS....oh it's too horrible!
Dropping an atomic bomb causes loss of life. Loss of life on the part of an agressing nation. I know it's not cool to be nationalistic, but if you are involved in a war, is it not better that more off the casualties occur to the OTHER side?
Or have they removed the History Classes from High School curriculums when I wasn't watching?
Hope you can run fast...

'Cause if I saw someone stickering my car, I'd chase them down and tape over their face with the fucking sticker. You don't respect my property? I won't respect yours.
It'll happen. A goodly amount of wealthy individuals will throw in some cash on the promise of achieving orbit. The company will hem and haw about supplies of rocket fuel from sketchy eastern block countries, and inevitably fold. It'll be all nice and legal 'cause the pretty-boy fronting the operation had the smarts (or lawyer fees) to incorporate the boondogle.
This doesn't mean that I don't believe that we will be achieving weightlessness on private carriers, just htat wit won't happen for a couple years.
I can't wail 'till I see the charge on my Amex for "Fred's Orbital Launchers". It'll be like Bob's Discount Furniture...kinda...

I guess you haven't priced compiler liscenses lately...
GPL has nothing to do with this compiler. And the reason is, it generates faster code.
I've always felt CRTs were easier to look at. Maybe 30" monitors won't be out of the question with this new technology!
Looks like I'll just climb back up into my 'Ivory Tower'.
sure, why not?

We're discussing the atomic bomb. Can you name the famous country which the United States dropped an atomic bomb or two on?

Do you mean that private homes do not have trash removal?
Or have they removed the History Classes from High School curriculums when I wasn't watching?

Being a hardcore geek, I will be obligated to explain to my girl why the fireflies blink and shimmer so. Must perform Illumiati-style cover-up.
Hello and welcome to last week!
I thought we already came to a consensus that Napster was irrelevant?
"You mean the revolver Sir?"
"Yes, Precisely..."
D'oh
Even when I was a kid I thought Minmei was an annoying little girl. Lisa Hayes had that hot older woman thing going on.
So I can circumvent the GPL, and sell software that uses GPLed code, by simply embedding the code in a hardware device?
Is it that easy?
