The baby was infected, but this is a "functional cure", it works like this: Whilst in-utero the baby receives a certain amount of protection from the mother's immune system and the filtering of the placenta. When it's born it does have the virus, and then the baby's own immune system begins to kick in. At this point, immediately after birth, they begin an aggressive but fairly standard treatment with antiviral medication. This suppresses the virus enough that the immune system then has a fighting chance, and whilst the virus is unlikely to be completely eradicated it is in theory manageable by the immune system for the rest of the baby's life. The virus is still there, but kept to very low levels so developing AIDS or passing the virus on becomes very unlikely.
I was thinking that maybe it worked because the treatment was before the baby's immune system kicked in. As HIV spreads by infecting the immune system clearing the load before then could clear the infection.
'Dogs may even have been the catalyst for our civilization.
Ayatollah Khomeini says,
"Eleven things are unclean: urine, excrement, sperm, blood, a dog, a pig, bones, a non-Muslim man and woman, wine, beer, and the perspiration of a camel that eats filth."
This is probably based on many references in the Hadith, eg. drom Muslim #Number 055
Ibn Mughaffal reported: The Messenger of Allah ordered killing of the dogs, and then said: What about them, i. e. about other dogs? and then granted concession (to keep) the dog for hunting and the dog for (the security) of the herd, and said: When the dog licks the utensil, wash it seven times, and rub it with earth the eighth time.

No: From TFA:
Torvalds concluded, "It really shouldn't be about Microsoft blessings, it should be about the *user* blessing kernel modules. Quite frankly, *you* are what the key-hating crazies were afraid of. You peddle the "control, not security" crap-ware. The whole "Microsoft owns your machine" is *exactly* the wrong way to use keys.
He goes on to give details of how this would work (each distro has a key and users have to explicitly grant permission to install non-distro apps)
I work in an Fortune 50 company. A Chromebook would be far fitter for the purpose for almost all the roles that Windows computers are used in now.
Anything that reduces the complexity and mess caused by Microsoft's idiotic document interchange and formatting incompatibilities would make the change well worthwhile.
I do, too. Not only would our enterprise never trust docs to the cloud, we wouldn't buy a $1300 laptop. ~$400 seems to be the right price point.
We were forced to make exceptions for board members, who wanted macbooks to go with their iPads, but for everyone else I agree the $400 range is normal
A warmer climate means more food, simpler shelters, and lower energy costs. (Or they would be, without air conditioning, which is a luxury in all but the hottest places.) Where it snows, everything is more expensive, so people have to work more than they would otherwise. From a labor perspective, global warming will bring about freedom from slavery.
Oh you optimist! Just like computers would mean we only would be working four hours a day four days a week by the year 2000.
In mediterranean countries they mitigate against this by working in the early morning, sleeping for the hottest part of the day, and working until very late evening. Two four-hour sleeps suits hot climates much better than one eight hour one. I wouldn't be surprised if in a much hotter climate an 8-hour sleep in daylight and working through the night made more sense
It ain't gambling unless the odds of winning or losing and equal
From the point of view of the UK gambling commission your definition is completely the wrong way round. Things like workplace sweepstakes and lotteries can be run without registering as gambling as long asall the money collected is paid out in prises, i.e. the organiser cannot make a profit.
A jet could pull 15 g's, out-turning any conventional aircraft, except it would kill the pilot. Is it time to stop spending billions on obsolete aircraft
But the pilot's reaction time would still be the weakest link. Why not link it up to skynet, a super-intelligent network of computers that could react in picoseconds? That has to be the next step, doesn't it?
No, you can't recount, at least not in a meaningful way. Once the ballot boxes and the ballots have left the constant supervision of the observers, it must be assumed that they have been tampered with. It is very important that irregularities are found and corrected right away. Fortunately the protocol makes this easy.
You'll find that countries which follow this simple protocol don't take weeks to publish final results. This is by design.
Many countries keep the papers under observation for a certain time. There may be automatic recounts if the results are close or recounts demanded by parties under various circumstances. Of course once this process is finished and the ballot papers removed from scrutiny then you are right - further recounts are not possible.
Anyone who has had a group of friends vote on whether to eat Chinese or Italian knows that a group who all know each other can hold a secure vote immune from multiple votes or outsiders voting too. Its also obvious that this is not scalable beyond a group in which everyone does recognise everyone else

It's only fair game when China has the might and firepower of the US, which it does not.
So therefore the US tell others what to do and you will obey because otherwise we can own and destroy your ass. Case closed.
USA.
So when they do it will be fair?
I see dead OSes. They're everywhere. They don't know they're dead.

HURD lives on in a half-life without ever being born. OS/2 lives on in a half-life without ever dying. You wonder why either of them still exist
Anybody know if Canonical is tracking users with Ubuntu Touch, like they are with the desktop distro?
While were about it does anyone know if you've stopped beating your wife?
