  1. Re:Mixed feeling on HIV Vaccine · · Score: 1

    LOL, not exactly. This is South Africa, not Zimbabwe. At the moment it's about 6 Rands to the Dollar.

    More like USD 333,333.33 It's a lot of money over here.

  2. Re:Mixed feeling on HIV Vaccine · · Score: 2, Informative

    I live in South Africa where preventative measures, i.e. condoms, are handed out at traffic lights for free (at least in Johannesburg). Sex education is also big here. Children are told about sex as soon as possible (I don't really know at what age) in primary school already. Local television does a LOT to try to make people aware of the HIV/AIDS. A local radio station had an AIDS day just yesterday, where they were collecting money to help people with AIDS (They made over 2 million Rands by the way.) All these measures, and still something like one in 10 people have AIDS.

    Then again, until recently our president refused to beleive that HIV causes AIDS. :(

    My point is that I agree with you that some people are just irresponsible, no matter what. Some days, it seems like responsible behaviour really is a lost cause, at least for some.

    In this case, it might be easier to examine the binaries for vulnerabilities. This is M$, after all. Can you say "Securty through Obscurity" ?
