"The crocodile's immune system is much more powerful than that of humans, preventing life-threatening infections after savage territorial fights which often leave the animals with gaping wounds and missing limbs."
This should inspire a new way of attacking HIV: savagely attacking each other so that humans can evolve stronger immune systems. (:
My opinion is that the odds are extremely, extremely low for life to be able to exist. But ya know what? There's billions of stars in billions of galaxies in potentially billions of Universes that may have done a cycle of birth/death billions of times themselves -- and possibly even an infinite number of times. Regardless if life is in 1 out of every billion planets or 1 out of every 9.999e99999999999999 planets, because of the great # of instances there may be, it's bound to happen sometime. We're just living in an instance where everything happened so that we are alive today. If it didn't happen, we wouldn't be thinking of this question at this moment.
Let's take this a step further.. if there are an infinite # of universes... even if an extremely few number of those universes have life. A few percent of infinity is infinity. Now what are the chances for everything to happen in exactly the same way as our universe up to the point we are typing and reading Slashdot articles? If there's an infinite # of occurances.. there has to be infinite # of universes where exactly the same thing has happened. there's also possibly an infinite # of universes where we've just won the lottery right now.
Another step further, even if there are an infinite # of universes with different circumstances though, they will still be in proportion to each other. Let's say I roll a 6 in this universe.. even though there might be an infinite # of times I roll a 6, there are 5 times more times where I roll 1 through 5.
I think there's a quatum physics speculation that's similiar to this thinking, except it involves branes. It's such as when time progresses forward, each brane splits off to create an infinite # of other branes each with every possible possibility. A particle that bounced off of another particle may have gone one direction in one brane, and may have even passed straight through the other particle in others (since that happens at the quantum level).
Anywyas, I'm rambling, but that's food for thought.:)
Several places in Japan offer gigabit Internet to consumers (for relatively cheap... Something like $50/month). It's not a dedicated line, but of course since all users don't usally use the line at the same time, you don't want to restrict the users because of that.

Not only are they breaking prostitution laws, but they are also violating patents as well!
