You're really asking for it, you know that? No, really....anyway, considering that customer-protection laws in the UK have gone to the point that a customer can now actually turn his brain off entirely when purchasing something,/me doubts creditcard companies are as lenient as that in other countries. I know for a fact that my creditcards in France and in the Netherlands do not cover for this kind of thing...
That's a problem that occurs both on individual and national levels. Once poverty strikes, you won't have any money left to keep up your infrastructure, resulting in communication breaking down, which is why it is so hard to re-educate people. And considering the Brasilian temperament(no this is not a prejudice, I know what I'm talking about), you won't get away with a "do this" or "do that". You'll have to give some good reasons.
Here is an interesting question, whats going to happen when say 30 or 40 % of a population is going to be infected?
Let's count shall we? We have epidemics on our hands in:
- Large parts of Africa.
- Russia and it's former Soviet Union partners.
- Almost all densely populated areas in Southern America.
- Many Countries in Asia.
In conclusion, within now and 10 years, in all parts of the world except Western Europe and the USA people will start dropping like flies. The only reason people aren't panicking yet, aside from the ignorance common among most individuals, is that HIV has a very long incubation time, which varies wildly among different people, which explains why we don't have piles of corpses around us yet, but someday we will...
Yes, but unfortunately people are much better at doing things that are easy to do, or in this case, not doing something because it is "not allowed", in this case using preventive measures. If there is still anybody present here that thinks you can prevent people from sleeping with each other, whether married or not, please reply to this post. It would be most amusing to read.
Somehow the fact that you're comparing Aids-drugs and lines of code concerns me. I prescribe a two week cure of real-life experiences. Go walk in town or something...
In this age of education, AIDS is generally acquired do to ignoring precautions. Ignorance is no answer.
I hate to kick you out of your Ivory Tower, but did you happen to notice that the level of education isn't equally high all around the world? Otoh, your post clearly demonstrates, so no point going into it any further. And aside from education, there is also this thing called religion, and unfortunately the dominant religion in Brasil is led by some sort of old guy who never had sex and who thinks rubbers are evil...
just the way the damn gun is being yanked away from you before you kill somebody with it. Oh wait, I forgot, the American way hasn't gotten to that point yet...
Even an internal modem that gets fried will protect the computer itself from being fried. My first question zwen a British customer calls that his modem went completely dead "all of a sudden" is:"So, what was the weather like this weekend?".
But if I were to be criminally liable merely for mentioning the thing with the bulldozer, which seems to be the DMCA way, that would be as close to Justice as Paris is to Betelgeuse.
Ehhhmmm, being a foreigner living in France, allow me to assure you that Paris is just about as far away from Earth as Betelgeuse...
"if there are so many aliens out there, where are they?"
That's an easy one. Assuming for the moment that there are aliens out there, they're posting to/. while their computers are frantically searching the universe for life...
Don't know about that. I knew someone who used to fish a lot, and who included hemp in the bait. It's just that one the day the cat ate the bait, and became a very happy cat(until afterwards, when it was a cat with a hangover, but that's besides the point...).
Both of them? Mine sure didn't. One income was plenty. But I have to agree, the choice between spending time with your kids or getting a bigger car than the neighbours is a tough one indeed...

Wouldn't that be beautiful? (nothing personal)
Screwing the companies that fund research is a bad solution to what is at heart a political problem.
Ehmm, what exactly do you mean by that phrase? *What* is a political problem in your opinion?I.E. bubbles is your nick?
In that case,Hmm, interesting issue. Is a 10 year old who hangs out with other 10 year olds really capable of "choice".....?
Yeah whatever. Last time I checked, Sealand was still a part of the Netherlands...
Nah, not really, it's pretty small actually. On a side note, which sealand are you referring to?

Putting RAM in the new and old G3s, G4s and iBooks is really easy though.
From my experience, taking it out and putting to proper use is even easier. Sorry dude, couldn't resist.Even an internal modem that gets fried will protect the computer itself from being fried. My first question zwen a British customer calls that his modem went completely dead "all of a sudden" is:"So, what was the weather like this weekend?".
What I meant is: ParisEarth=BetelgeuseEarth I should point out that this refers more to the inhabitants than to the city itself...:)
But if I were to be criminally liable merely for mentioning the thing with the bulldozer, which seems to be the DMCA way, that would be as close to Justice as Paris is to Betelgeuse.

You know, like Planetarion for example. Oh sorry, you need Java to do that...

Russian scientists claim to have developed the first artificial brain with the same intellectual potential as a human.
Just great, the same intellectual potential as a human. Having read most of this slashback, "potential" is the keyword in this case...

I didn't make it, but is has something to do with the @ symbol re-directing things to another site.
Don't they work 8-5 jobs?
Both of them? Mine sure didn't. One income was plenty. But I have to agree, the choice between spending time with your kids or getting a bigger car than the neighbours is a tough one indeed...Actually, make that "Robotwars"...
So what did they teach you in MCSE? The things Windows (fill in whatever version) should be doing under certain circumstances or the facts?
