I understand, according the article, that they used 'a modified, harmless version of HIV.' I am curious as to how they treat the HIV afterwards though. Can they cure this strain.? Will the remaining white blood cells fight it off? Do they have to treat it forever now? But like another poster stated, it would be a better trade off for many. I am happy that they were still able perform the experiment though, in spite of the initial lack of funding. It's nice to think that potentially millions of lives can be saved from this.
I thought the whole point of a wireless connection was for mobility and convenience. The fact of the matter is knetworkmanager was a fail when 4.0 was released imho. I had nothing but issues with it on 3 out of the 4 machines I run. Shortly after I discovered wicd and never looked back. It may require a little more configuration depending on your needs, but I have no problems with it period!

What it means is a person with cystic fibrosis(and other diseases as well of course), such as my daughter who may have to have a lung transplant in the future, has fighting chance to continue to live a somewhat normal life with continued technological/scientific progress in this field. This makes me happy!

I used Chromium 12.0.742.124 and it worked fine for me.
It's amazing to think what the hell this guy has become. I just read this story here, the other day. I pity you George Lucas. Another example of a person with a vision (at least through episode VI) becoming corrupt over the almighty dollar! Disapointing is an understatement.
That is absoutely correct. Most PS3 owners all but forgot about all those troubles the second they were able to log onto the PSN again. Read any forum from during the time PSN was down. Very, very few people stated they were getting away from Sony (I would be courious to see how many of those actually did), the majority just cried 'I want my PSN back!'
Here is why geeks and nerds are smarter though... They put bread in their toasters. I don't like burnt toast no matter how much you scrape it nor how much butter an jelly you put on it.
Admittedly it was a poor attempt on my part to convey the ethics on which Microsoft was founded by offering impertinent information relative to the OP. However, if you would put your energy towards educating yourself rather than being angry and belligerent you would understand that the underlying message is still true. You can start here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_litigation. Then you can UTFW and find countless other cases by and against Microsoft. They are plentiful.

Let's not be ignorant to reality just because you would rather believe something to not be true or because you support it. Microsoft's guerilla tactics are very real. Even the smallest amount of research will prove that. If you want something bad enough, patience is a strong virtue to have. Personaly, I say Microsoft can have SuSe and take Ubuntu with it. My server will continue to run Debian, my destop will continue to run Slackware and Arch along with AV for my studio.
Sorry for AC but don't want to undo the underrated modding of this guy. Even though I do not agree with him does not make his opinion wrong and moderating him as such is purely a form of opinionated censorship. Oh how people at/. cry out about censorship yet its perfectly find when it happens here.
Your theory is severely flawed. Giving a negative rating of such ignorance is also an opinion and not allowing a counter opinion would also be consorship. Where do you draw your lines? Read the FAQ's, there is very good reason why/. has a moderating system in place and that comment falls head first into that category. I absolutely love how people like that and people who complain about/. do so anonymously. Grow a pair and stand up for what you believe.
Now, I apologize for going off topic as per the original post but I felt the need to respond.
The best Doritos ever was Jumpin' Jack Cheese! Remember Jay Leno doing the commercials for them in the late 80's early 90's? Ahh, I suddenly crave a bag with a bottle of Dew!

Funny, I thought it meant moral fiber.
I agree that it is not 'completely' obvious. I wasn't trying to be sarcastic, I was simply stating that the functionality is in deed there

I had no idea you could get games with a Blockbuster subscription. I have been paying for both Netflix and Gamefly for two years now, WTF!?
