I have a strong suspicion that these communities in which AIDS are prevalent have never been properly educated on what AIDS is and how it is spread. There's a lot of superstitious claptrap surrounding it, the origins of which I'm also suspicious of. One such superstition is that if you shag a virgin you'll be cured in no time. Guess what effect that has.
Considering your comment could be (and has) been used to justify everything from rape to office sexual harassment, its interesting how society hasnt given up on some basic moral structures.
Yeah. I live in NZ and those Nuns and the Surfers were the only OS/2 commercials we got here. Pity they're not on Youtube. All the OS/2 ads on there seem to be dry business folks drooling at a screen we can't see.
It wouldn't be so bad if you could change it like the other sections. Like the IT section. Just change it.shashdot.org.. to shit.slashdot.org/... and the ugly white/brown goes away. Not so here. Maybe they've 'fixed' the other sections too now.
Well I guess you'll be applauding the government then, for scrapping the plan. The pockets go unlined for now. Will you be sending them a thank-you card?
From one who has had several offspring (with the same mate) I have to tell you that you either got very unlucky in your relationship, or did something very, very wrong.
How "many" would that be? "Many" men like to blow goats too, but that's hardly statistically significant.
Of course if you listen to your local Queer Student Association then you might believe that 50% of each gender is gay but that's so far from reality. You're closer to 1% if you're lucky. Possibly more in universities/colleges where young students struggle to find any kind of identity.
If the problem is as bad as people are claiming, it sounds like they'd be better off keeping those cars off the road, and the factories closed well after the games have ended.
And this, my friends, is why we need to cut off the means these people got to power in the first place, and fast.
Stop buying and endorsing their crap*.
I'm off to Magnatune. I've heard of plenty of other non-evil music publishing sites but can't recall them. I have also recently come to the realisation that I don't actually need to be pummeled with music everywhere I go. I've turned off the radio at work and don't wear headphones much any more. I don't miss it much.
* I realise that not all music produced by RIAA members is crap. A lot of it is quite good - but it's tainted. No RIAA member company is going to get any more of my money. That includes Sony BMG, but not Sony Computer Entertainment, etc. They need to know why their revenues are plummeting.
Me too! I was likewise impressed with this one. I likes how the surfaces were extremely smooth, and carried on infinitely in every direction.
IIRC, the fractal sky was the plasma cloud they used to generate the height field, so the highest peaks were beneath the reddest cloud - or was it the whitest cloud, it was so long ago.

That's it, I'm going to take a left off Goldney Ave, drive down Clifton Vale for a bit, and tweak your nose for making such a silly comment.
Why? What's wrong with you?

We're working on it, give us time.
Oh, er yeah I didn't mean to imply that 0.1% of the world would be infected. I meant the number of cases would reduce by 99.9%.
(In the same context as 97% fat-free = 3% fat)
The remining 0.1% I mention would be through fringe causes such as mother-baby transfer, non-screened blood transfusions and needle sharing.
(laughs, in a kind of sad way)
If infected men would keep it in their pants the world would be 99.9% AIDS free in one generation. No drugs required.
"Shag a virgin - get cured", indeed.

In light of your comment, I find your sig very apt.
Holy shit. Jaded much?

Oooh you're good. You are really good.
Being born in the Seventies, well... no.
Oh, and what Sputnik shock? It was an amazing achievement, even if "The Enemy" got there first.
microsoft ... just like everyone else

they're not an underdog, they're a big oppressor.
Okay, but so is DC Comics.
How on earth did they get enough reliable data to come up with such a figure?
Ironically, publishing those findings will likely make them slightly more correct.
mightyQuin, for giving them ideas.
Incidentally, this comment has to be the best analogy I've seen in the debate.
If the problem is as bad as people are claiming, it sounds like they'd be better off keeping those cars off the road, and the factories closed well after the games have ended.
Something like that suit the guy in the upcoming Iron Man movie wears. That would do me.

I know you're probably joking, but by pirating their wares you're effectively endorsing them.
What, are these guys above taxes as well as the law?
But where is Amnesia by Renaissance? One of the best PC Demos I've come across (equal to Second Reality, IMO).
