Actually the A+ test went to an adaptive question format several years ago; at the same time they went to almost exclusively windows 9x/NT questions.
Besides, your example of BSD or Linux is 3% of the population, almost everybody who runs a Unix style OS on their desktop can fix their own PC.
Anti-Leech claims that the only way that a webmaster can make money off a site is banners and pop-ups, and all this time I was under the impression the there were alternaive models such as Arstechnica's and/.'s subscriptions or K5's text-ads.
Anyway, the problem with what anti-leech wants to do is that it's unfeasable given that the presentation of content and the presentation of ads still has a degree of seperation. as long as there is that seperation any sufficiantly intelligent person/perl script/browser feature/whatever is going to be able to seperate the two.
Anti-leech gives me the impression of naivety, they don't seem to know the first thing about how web technologies actually work. I'll bet they have a single programer who just bought himself those 'learn javascript in x hours' and did the same with php.
there's and article in
Buisness 2.0 about the success of Google's text-only ads.
K5 also has unobtrusive text-only ads. More websites should follow this example; the ads don't get in your face and they work. I know I've clicked on a few, and I've not clicked on one of those hideous flash ads.
The problem with AIDS is that it has a very high mutation rate, AIDS mutates approximatly once in every five infection cycle(i.e. once in every five cells it infects). Because of this every person who has AIDS has a different strain, which makes creating a cure-all vaccine difficult.
Your body fights off a viral infection by enabling your T-Cells to latch onto the specific protein coat on a virus capsid and destroying it.
When a person gets AIDS their body is able to fight it off for up to several years until it mutates into something that their body can't fight off anymore, then they get HIV.
If you buy something that says "Kills 99.9% of germs FAST!" and it's not bleach your wasting your money.
We did some experimenting with common household antibacterial products last year and found that bleach was the only thing that managed to kill >95% of the bacteria in a mixed culture.
I can't find the data sheets right now but I remember that Listerine only killed about 5% of all bacteria, antibacterial soap killed ~1% and a 70% alcohol solution only killed 75% of it was left on for 20 minutes.
Advertisors can get away with these lies because they will test the prouduct at a high concentration against a harmless, cellwall-less non-bacili for like two hours and it will kill %99.9 of it.
The best thing to do is to just use regular soap and HOT water.
One or two way plasmid(little circles of DNA) transfer is actually really common, a bacteria can also absorb plasmids from other dead bacteria and the enviroment.
You skin being slippery is only a side-effect of the alkaline ingrediants in the soap. What makes soap effective at cleaning your skin is that it lowers the surface tension of the water which makes the water more effective at cleaning dirt, grime, bacteria and the like from your skin.
You make several good points but lets correct a couple of things:
Escherichia coli gets its' name from being a gram-negative bacteria with colonies that grow in a certain shape of cluster that I don't remember right now. And E. coli infections don't come from careless slaughtering practices, the problem is that E. coli doesn't harm cattle the way it harms humans(especially the O1H-57 strain that is so lethal to us) so E. coli can become systemic in a cow without it harming them, so when it's slaughtered the bacteria are already in the muscle.

And how does a lack of experience with a computer make one an idiot?
USB 1.0 isn't really a competing technology; USB 2.0 however is, and at a peak thoughouput of 480Mb/s it's nothing to dismiss.

Not just bandwidth, but CPU cycles too.

It's called the /. effect you idiot.

Phages are viruses that infect bacteria, and can be used to genetically engineer bacteria as well. Get you facts straight.

Funny, the only time I've seen an XP box crash was a hardware failure. And I run a CS lab that has 20 XP boxen.
Don't ever put anything on a publicly accessable webserver unless you want it to be seen. Of course I doubt they'll learn...
open up the advanced tab of you TCP/IP settings and goto the WINS tab and click 'disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP' and then 'OK'.
