That's not a biologically sound scenario. Only immunocompromised individuals could be effected, and that's assuming the combination would somehow work, which it wouldn't as described in your post.
Viruses consist of DNA or RNA for information storage, covered in a protein or lipid sheath of varying complexity. Some use the membrane of the host cell, others such as bacteriophages have complex structures to punch through bacteria cell walls.
"You're not going to be able to connect a DVD-recording drive to your PC unless it has either FireWire or a USB 2.0 port."
What happened to IDE? Still, recording a DVD would probably still suck on an older computer. I know CD burning works much better on my newer machine than it did on the old one, even using the same burner.
I built my system with an nForce board. I use the integrated video right now. The reason? $$$
Now that its been a while and some games that actually might need more than a GeForce2MX are coming out I'm going to upgrade, but for any budget concsious person integrated video is great as long as an AGP slot is included for the future.
If my smaller monitor wasn't dying and I wasn't concerned about the integrates ability to push enough pixels to make a larger one look decent I'd probably wait until Doom3 to upgrade, too.
The only way we'd have universal immunity is if everyone not immune died, but we could see the immunity gene spread to most people if enough people are killed by AIDS. If, say, here in the US people with AIDS live long enough to reproduce before dying because of cocktails then there is no selective pressure.
Or more interestingly, we could all go in for a genetic vaccine. Instead of killed virus or antigen dependent vaccines, we could receive genetic alteration to make ourselves immune. That might be difficult in an adult depending on what cells need to be treated, but in theory you could make your children immune to HIV by treating them when they were a few cells.

If you make it pay per email, everyone will switch to a free alternative. ICQ springs to mind.
Then people will spam that (not that they don't try on occasion)

Nope, it's part of rust. He meant it didn't need atmospheric oxygen, which it doesn't.

They're referring to RNA viruses.
You left out the possibility that life arose in the comet fields, and from there was deposited on planets.

Pretty common under the right conditions for nearly any bacteria.
nView allows Windows to remember where they were... not all applications support this, however.
