Look if I could cough on you and you get AIDs, yes I'd agree we need to focus on AIDs, but AIDs isnt spreading through the air.
SARS is like AIRBORN AIDS, you get it and you have a 15 percent chance of dying. Theres no cure, the virus is becoming better at kicking our asses as it mutates, and you want us to sit here and let it go from a 15 percent success rate in killing us to around 50%? Then fight it?
From my research doctors say SARS kills 15 percent of everyone of all AGES.
SARS is not the common cold, it destroys your lungs, people with asthma, people who have weak lungs, people who smoke, people who live in smog filled cities, these people have weaker lungs and can die from SARS no matter the age.
So unless you are a marathon runner with great lungs you will most likely be one of those 15 percent. Also the virus mutates, the more it learns about how our immune systems work, the more vulnerable we become, so even you can survive it while its killing at a rate of 15%, when it mutates again it might kill at 25%, and then when it mutates again it might go up to 40%, so eventually over a period of years it could reach a 90% death rate or higher, so this disease is no joke, the Flu does not mutate like this.
The flu is always going to be the flu, its not getting stronger.
SARS as it spreads becomes STRONGER. Meaning the more immune systems it kills, the better it becomes at killing.
This is what scares me, the rate jumped up from around 5 percent to 15 percent in a matter of weeks, 15 percent in CANADA of all places, where they have some of the best hospitals in the world.
15 percent of 1 million is 150,000 people, but according to estimates, a billion people can be infected by the end of the year.
Theres only 6 billion people on this earth. If 1 billion people are infected with a 15 percent chance of dying (this is assuming SARS doesnt mutate and become more deadly), 15 percent of 1 billion?! What is that? 150 million? Thats as bad as the plague.
why dont you read what some actual doctors are saying. Also take into account that SARS is mutating constantly, which means its becoming more deadly everyday, the death rate is rising due to this mutation, as the virus gets smarter it learns how to more efficiently destroy our immune system.
Do your research begore you come up with some numbers.
And people who put CDs on Kazaa sometimes purchased the CD from a store and burned it. Point is, just like a VCR lets you record legal copies, people using Kazaa may legally own it.
You cannot prove if their use is legal or illegal without raiding them
Yeah but you shouldnt be raided just because they say you have a file with the wrong filename.
Thats not proof, now if you downloaded files from their computers your fucked, but if you just have a filename called britney spears and police raid you and take your computer away thats bullshit.
First you make stupid comments about how you want the USA to be a police state, then you make more stupid comments.
Everyone should just label you troll when they see the name unterderbrucke without even reading what you post, I mean you believe we should be arrested because we "MIGHT" be stealing without any evidence to really prove it, well I say we censor you because you "might" be a troll.
Guys like that guy who made the parent post, claiming that we should have no rights because its the law, I mean damn
If they decide to remove the constitution, because thats they law they want to pass, and suddenly we live in a 1984 style police state, hey everyone follow the law and be sheep, no more rights just do your job, grow old and die.
This guy would love that. I cannot understand how people can hate democracy, we have arabs in Iraq who actually want the taliban or other similar groups to rule over them, they dont want democracy.
I think theres people in this country who want a police state, they want the government and corperations to rule over everything we do, no more privacy because we might break the law! Put cameras everywhere, even in our house, sue you for not paying your taxes on time, watch every person on the internet to make sure they dont speak bad about any president, company or CEO, watch everyone at work to make sure no one steals a pencil or pen, have cameras surrounding everyones car and inside them to make sure no one tries to break any laws, oh an monitor brainwaves so you can arrest people before they commit crimes, get them while they are still thinking about it.
I mean you think about it and it means you were going to do it right? Guilty until proven innocent is the new law, which means if I say you stole from me but I cannot prove it, you stole from me and you go to jail for as long as I decide.
I decide what software you can and cannot use, what music you can and cannot listen to, and for how long, I decide when you will pay me and how much, I decide how much money you make and where you make it, and I decide the laws.
No You, just I, you get to sit obey me for the rest of your life, obey my laws, buy only my products and music, and work for my company and if you dont, you can go to jail, because I have all the money and you have none.
This is an official flame You sound as stupid as the fucking taliban. You dumb mother fucker, how can you say that the law is more important than our freedom?!!?! So if we make it against the law to have freedom of speech, we make slavery legal again, we make it against the law for women to work, and force them to wear sheets over their face.
Of course freedom isnt important, whatever is law is right! You are stupid, you should go live in a place where there is no freedoms or rights, like afganastan where everyone follows the law, and no one has any freedom, or maybe you'd like Iraq? How about you go over there? We dont need fake Americans over here trying to make our great country as fucked up as other countries which we constantly claim to be better than.
Its guys like you who make me want to leave America. You idiot.
Correct, which is how you handle the RIAA, you tell them they made it up and send the courts proof, like your harddrive itself minus the files they claim you downloaded.
Slashdot Mirror
Hes done more for the community than IBM has. He personally funds alot of the Linux on the Desktop movement, while IBM is busy focused on business.
Honestly, I'd like to thank Michael Robertson for doing what hes doing, most people wouldnt give their own money to make Linux a success.
I dont see anyone else doing this. Millions of dollars to KDE, hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Xbox project, and many other things.
Its a brand new disease, no one has natural immunity.
Its not the flu, the flu is somethinng we know and mutates at a much slower rate. Theres already 6 mutations of SARs.
You people keep forgetting this virus mutates, the death rate started low, but now its at 15 percent in Canada, and almost 20 percent in Hong Kong.
Look if I could cough on you and you get AIDs, yes I'd agree we need to focus on AIDs, but AIDs isnt spreading through the air.

1 Billion in 12 monthS

Sometimes this goes as high as 20% in places like Hong Kong, in Canada its around 15%, the 5% are fake government figures.
SARS mortality rate/Death Rate
why dont you read what some actual doctors are saying. Also take into account that SARS is mutating constantly, which means its becoming more deadly everyday, the death rate is rising due to this mutation, as the virus gets smarter it learns how to more efficiently destroy our immune system.
Do your research begore you come up with some numbers.
Why doesnt Bill Gates cure Sars? What the hell is he doing right now? Oh wait hes busy spreading Windows.
Although it wouldnt be legal, Im sure governments like China are running tests on prisoners right now.
Why do you care about the poor people? Care about yourself first.
I'd rather see the third world die than die myself. Consider the fact that its run this software or risk having no cure at all, you need to shut up.
You are fucking stupid, When you get Sars I'm going to laugh at you.
The virus may mutate and become more fatal, dont be surprised to see it go up to 20 percent, or even 30 percent.
And people who put CDs on Kazaa sometimes purchased the CD from a store and burned it. Point is, just like a VCR lets you record legal copies, people using Kazaa may legally own it.

Who do you think buys most of their products? Who do you think is busy support open source linux? Think about their business and then respond.
The VCR is a program and cable provides the service allowing illegal copies to be recorded onto your VCR.
So should Cable be sued too?
Wait no, Cable is owned by time warner of the RIAA.
They did it, and we should donate money to them to thank them!
I'm going to donate $20. I want to see each one of you who posted a msg here saying "Wahoo" donate at least $20.
Too bad it looks like ISPs are about to lose in a case just like this.
First you make stupid comments about how you want the USA to be a police state, then you make more stupid comments.

This is the America you want to live in?
This is an official flame

End of flame
Correct, which is how you handle the RIAA, you tell them they made it up and send the courts proof, like your harddrive itself minus the files they claim you downloaded.
Your point?
Yes but this specific new addition that the RIAA is trying to tag onto the DMCA, in which anyone anywhere can label anyone a criminal without proof.
The laws have changed, now you are guilty until proven innocent.
I think its almost time to leave America and go to a place more free, like China.
Not just the RIAA but anyone. So not thousands but MILLIONS.
ISPs arent prepared to handle this.
This is like me asking the phonecompany to put a tap on your phone just because I suspect you are talking bad about me behind my back.
Oh by the way, the phone company has to pay the bill.
