Um, I don't think this is going to work for the masses, even if we can now do DNA sequencing for about 1/10th what it cost just two years ago, and we have protein folding solutions for HIV thanks to the work of the UW's Baker Lab and all you great volunteers.
Look, the vast and overwhelming quantity of infections are in areas where not only are people very very poor (no, poorer than that, think a couple hundred dollars a year for a family), but they have 2-3 other major infectious diseases to cope with.
This "solution" may provide promise for First World Nations, and the rich elites in the world, but that's about it.
Sheer economics. Polluted/dirty water is the major problem worldwide, quite frankly, ask any epidemiologist.

We're in that world now thanks to Windows. Our devices ALREADY communicate behind our backs. Trouble is, they are communicating with the criminals in Russia...

If only these 'clouds' or 'cloud services' actually had effective redundancy like they claim to and we didn't have so many 'clear sky' moments where they go down.
Oh, come on, it's not like all the big Clouds got hacked this past weekend... like Google and Amazon....... oh... wait...

Two computers, surely? Otherwise the single application will spread across both screens.
Let's remember to turn off the hologram projectors so the simulation doesn't escape and create evil droids, ok?
Not only that but Microsoft's "per processor" policy will quickly be changed to "per screen". Cos people are starting to use multiple screens, ya know.
Don't see why.
All my computers have 2, 4 or 8 CPUs in them, so why should I subsidize people in mansions who can't read?
I've never been to a UW football game, but I've been to championship winning crew and soccer competitions. In Seattle, soccer is more popular than old fogie football. We're a feeder college internationally for soccer players.
While it is true that certain pathogens are virulent and can be airborne, ebola for example works so well because it has a long enough cycle to allow transmission.
Instantly lethal pathogens don't spread much, since they aren't mobile in a host. Visible signs early slow spreading.
You're at far more risk from food contamination in the food supply or sunstroke, actually.
That said, wise decision for the actual Facilites doing pathogen research (which include some I've worked in).

In a lab filled with Linux, every screen is yours.
Shouldn't that be "CRASH!"?
But does it blend?
What's Windows?
SNAP!

So we're back to Windows 1.0 with no overlapping windows? How am I suppose to quickly look at two open applications? or drag and drop items?
Ballmer thinks you'll buy two screens.
Cause that's what billionaires like him do.
Unless there's a Deinstall Ballmer button, Win8 is dead.
On G+ you can reply to Game events and it stays defaulted to the Game Circle you created for the Game App.
On FB it's hard to do that.
Now at least it's possible - plus no more of those tracking apps that "list your friends" in a "picture" to grab your data.

Wake up, it's a new century.
Mostly follow the away soccer and crew games, actually.
Spoken like someone who never attended UW.
I'm a grad. 92.
oh, OSU, they're ok.
actually, we collaborate with them on a lot of research projects.
Duck!
Quack like the open source ducks you are, Oregon! ;->~
Seriously, though, the best part of Open Source is they go away with treatment, and an internal solution of Bheer.
I play FrontierVille, not Farmville. Farmville is for neocons.
Besides, I'm working on the next gen Kthulhu Kitchen (tm), the eldritch cooking game, and that runs on an iPad in standalone with networked "gifting".
How dumb can they get.
Twitter only was used by peeps like me in other countries to rebroadcast the pics and vids they tried to pretend weren't happening.
It was Blackberry messenger that was being used to coordinate things.
Total insanity.
Btw, I used to do counter-terrorism ops, and right now high-end automobiles are being burnt in record numbers in Germany.
You can't put the genie back in the bottle - either create jobs for youth and stop subsidizing the rich, or watch your country burn.
damn we posted at the same time - glad to see we both agree - it's what works best for Science.
All we real scientists swear by it.
Lets you read color PDFs, edit them, and access all the scientific journals and notate them.
Nothing less works as well.
Plus it's like 10 pounds sterling.
If there is nothing happening on Google plus in gaming, then why is Steve Jackson on it.
What you meant to say was "there is nothing spamming me invites from friends" on G+.
There, corrected it for you.
my top speed in the rolling hills of Eastern Washington for GTA: Spokane is 125 mph - yes, your limiter does kick in ...

True. I've seen presentations about the vaccine. Hate to be faced with such a choice if it's risky.
