This is in no way related to the fact that US war scientists have recently been involved in digging up bodies of those that died of the 1918 flu in an effort to reconstruct the original 1918 virus.
I am ready to be modded troll for pointing out a fact
I always though the idea was that we are meant to catch diseases and thus gain resistance for ourselves and our descendants with those that die being unlucky that they couldn't cope with a changing world/environment.
It was only a few years ago that researchers got all excited because they thought they had found that the common cold actually fought and stopped some cancers from occurring. Funnily enough, that research and its results seem to have dropped into a memory hole. I guess there's no money in it.
Funny how you stated a simple fact and got modded down as a troll. Maybe you're one of those conspiracy theorists and you need to be modded down automatically as facts are hard to reconcile with the truth sometimes.
Microsoft do tons of research on computer security not just for their operating system but for all systems architectures that their software could be running on.
Maybe they should concentrate on windows security first? It's not like they have a good track record after all
But a true 'conspiracy theorist' accepts that there are false theories that are usually propagated by those that want to discredit the theorist and their 'theories'.
Anyone who cannot see that there is something seriously wrong with the events of 911 as reported by the government has a serious problem with believing anything they are told to.
How many coincidences have to be documented as actual and occurring before a 'coincidence theorist' is given an open minded ear to speak to.
As someone said in an earlier comment the usual attack made upon a 'co* theorist' is ridicule and not a refutation of the facts/coincidences they are trying to have recognised.
The fact that the majority of people in the US believe the 911 story only goes to show how controlled a person thoughts and beliefs are in the US. There is way too much 'coincidence' involved in 911 for it to have happened the way we have been told.
I haven't forgotten the claim you made that started this conversation I have a very simple request of you. Please list the drugs that dealers give away for free due to their highly addictive, one hit and you're fucked nature?
Some evidence to back your answers would be nice.
Yes, the "dope friend" phenomenon is quite real. You can choose to ignore it, but trust in the person with the profit motive is a large part of the reason people fall into this trap in the first place. And BTW, it can take only days to a week of using heroin or meth to develop physical dependence symptoms. It's not too late to get out at that point, but it's very easy to let oneself slide further in.
There is a choice here. You are either lying on purpose or you really are a moron who doesn't know when to quit. The idea that a person can develop a physical dependence on heroin or meth in days is an outright lie and would be more at home in a 1930 drug menace movie rather than on Slashdot. Maybe, next you could claim to be a pain doctor and try to baffle us all with some more drug war bullshit.
Alcohol and cigarette companies are not allowed to give product away for free unless the consumer signs a statement that they are already smoker or drinker of legal age
You made that up didn't you. I was being a smart arse at your expense and you made up the existence of a document trail that leads at the end to free alcohol and cigarettes. Maybe you want to lock up all the viral marketers as I am sure they don't have a document pouch with them whilst they carry out their nefarious trade.
The rest of your article is a political rant which has nothing to do with the subject at hand. The problem there is that the opium, of which growing is futile to attempt to stop, is diverted into the illegal market. Purity unknown, concentration unknown, and manufactured into the destructively addictive heroin instead of more reasonable legal opiates.
Heroin is not destructively addicting. If you disagree then please explain to me the reason that the majority of pain patients do not have to struggle to get off morphine and other opiates at the end of their treatment.
Pushers give out addictive illegal drugs to begin with, so the cost isn't a factor until someone is addicted.
That one sentence proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Do you really think that some smack dealer is going to give out free doses for months until someone develops a habit?
I'm totally surprised that you didn't try to claim that the pushers give everyone their first dose for free because 'everyone knows' that it only takes a whiff of marijuana while walking past a drug house to become a hopeless addict.
It's amazing just how damaged peoples minds are when it comes to talking about or discussing drugs rationally. We have people claiming they give it away for free (just like the alcohol and cigarette companies right?) and then some Gutter Republican seems to think that locking up 12 year olds for five years coz they smoked a doobie is a good idea. What happens if they didn't inhale?
If the answer is putting children in gaol for five years then the problem is the question. Then again all the US people probably think the Taliban were opium growers/heroin manufacturers when the truth of the matter is it was the US allied Northern Alliance which were the last remaining opium growers in the 10% of Afghanistan they controlled. Now Afghanistan is setting world records for opium production as the US ousted the Taliban and growing opium in Afghanistan is again legal and that injects 400 billion dollars per year into the global economy. Wonder who does the banking for Afghanistan these days?
I tend towards education and regulation, something banning does nothing for
Unfortunately when it comes to drugs the education that comes with it are mostly lies. Of course it was only a coincidence that the cotton and paper industries lobbied to make hemp illegal immediately after the invention of the hemp decorticator. It's also a coincidence that the two medical problems associated with the use of high quality heroin are a bit of nausea and constipation and THAT'S IT.
Of course to find peer reviewed publications on heroin and its benefits and harmful effects is extremely difficult because so many lies have been published that they drown out the real studies.
but no one seems to mind the mass graves filled with women and children?
I always get annoyed when people talk about mass graves being justification for US imperial behaviour. What was it in SE Asia? wasn't it around 3,000,000 civilians killed by the US? Let's not forget the burying alive of surrendering Iraqi troops in Gulf War 1.
Remember all those mass graves Milosevic was accused of being responsible for? You might want to have a look and see what his charges currently are as the ones that were fed to the general public where just hyperbole.
Then again Saddaam is on trial and they are hassling him about 140-something people executed after a trial and the US is killing people left right and centre/ Let's not forget the 7000+ tortured and executed Sunni's who have gone through the Baghdad morgue in the last three months with all evidence pointing to death squads associated with the oil ministry (what a surprise that it's the oil ministry).
The reason there are so many scared little pussies running around is that WW1 & WW2 was probably responsible for killing off the majority of the best genetic stock available.
What if they aren't 'deniers'? What if they only have a small problem with some 'holocaust' claims? Would you put them in gaol? Deny their freedom of thought/speech?
I only meant that some of the earlier comments look like they were written by people who act as if Microsoft pays their bills. Otherwise, these people need their moral compasses tuned up.
If the sysadmin needs to undertake night school to learn how to configure a LAN under linux then I suspect he shouldn't be there. Personally, I would expect any sysadmin claiming that particular title to be able to figure out how to configure a straightforward LAN by the end of the day with nothing more than a live internet connection and Google. Giving him a whole day is probably overly generous(if it was a reasonably complex LAN then a windows sysadmin wouldn't be within cooee of it). My experience is there are a lot of expert installer/rebooters out there.
So if the students have to learn about/use computers and those computers aren't using MS Products you're saying that these skills need to be learnt outside of the normal curriculum? Do they go to Africa to learn about Safari?
If the kids cut their teeth on linux and are taught well then their skills will transfer over to Windows as quickly as an MCVP can type format c:.
Maybe the school could provide them all with a shiny new OS for FREE. An OS that runs on older hardware could also equalise the educational playing field because there is a class of kids who can't afford a new LanParty board every second month.

Scared wimps indeed. Of course, some of my fellow Australians are not much better.
Amen, mate, amen.
The reason there are so many scared little pussies running around is that WW1 & WW2 was probably responsible for killing off the majority of the best genetic stock available.
I definitely think that Joe R. User is being credited with a hell of a lot more ability than he has or is prepared to want to have.
If I want to block all addresses starting with 66.6.x.x because i don't like the number 666, I have every right to.
And I thought I was the only one who had seen the truth of evil subnets
What if they aren't 'deniers'? What if they only have a small problem with some 'holocaust' claims? Would you put them in gaol? Deny their freedom of thought/speech?
