Windows Vista Ultimate (Product) Red Edition Up for Pre-Order

Bill Gates is not dead yet, and untill he is, and we see where he put his money, i refuse to believe he would forward his money to a fund that actually required it for he greater good f mankind.

He does forward his money to medical aid and related charity under the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. There's nothing for you to not believe. Its books are pretty open to the tax departments of US and every jurisdiction the foundation works in.

as for:
Someone say AIDS ? Did our man made disease not do its job properly ? The time is upon us to reinvent the wheel ?

...now I refuse to believe you. Doesn't your logic get back to you sometimes? :)

wikipedia said:
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (B&MGF) is the 4th largest transparently operated private foundation in the world, founded by Bill and Melinda Gates in 2000 and doubled in size by Warren Buffett in 2006. The primary aims of the foundation are, globally, to enhance healthcare and reduce extreme poverty, and, in the United States, to expand educational opportunities and access to information technology.

In my experience those that believe HIV is man-made have no concept of the history, epidemiology, mechanisms of the disease, general genetics, immune system function, or general genetics. They choose to believe what they want to believe because it is entertain and makes them feel smart. The oldest HIV virus was found in tissue samples from the 1930s which means the disease most certainly existed well before then. Viruses were not even grown in laboratories until the 30s and the structure of DNA was unknown until the 1950s, let alone the ability to alter it. Believe what you wish, you're wrong, but go ahead an believe it on faith, because it most certainly isn't science or even anything close to a coherent argument. Stop the trolling either way.
 
If MS was really doing this out of the bottom of their shriveled cancerous heart than they would only require proper receipt of a $200 donation to the HIV/AIDS charity of your/their choice to receive this copy of vista.

it is simply a tax write-off, and a comfy cozy PR move for those who can't see the forest for the trees, or are just plain ignorant about the nature of humans and organizations of them that thrive on profit and control.

interesting, i think the first person was infected in the late 70s. they actualy tracked him down and found out who it was and pieced together what happened and the people that he infected. If the disease was around before then i wonder why no one got infected?

It likely has been around for a lot longer than that, but the technology to detect it was only available recently. I know it dates back to at least the 1960s, however again chances are it dates back farther than that. Most cases of AIDs related deaths were usually attributed to the actual desease that did the killing. If a person died of phenmonia, that is what the doctors would say killed him. However, he might of gotten the phenmonia because of the AIDs, but the doctors never saw the AIDs, and just assumed phenomia was the only cause.

yea, that makes sense
 
as usual btarunr thanks for taking the time to post
(I think RED Vista would be a cool addition to a mod)
 
I require proof that AIDS has been around since before the 70's. Please post me one credible source to back up that claim.

It's easy to say "Oh such and such has been around since XXXX"
 
Wiki says the first diagnosed/reported case was in 1981, but all ideas of previos versions of adis seem to be just theories. One does date to the 50's tho and the other later.

Not saying wiki is a god for info, but it does at least show where the ideas come from on dating its beginnings.

that would be incredable!!!!

There is a difference between nobody being infected and infection going undetected. Africa does not have the health apparatus to deal with emerging infections most work is done by the CDC, Pasteur Institute, the U.S. Army, and apparatus belong to other major industrialized nations. The programs necessary to quickly identify, and isolate newly emerging disease were not present in the early part of the century. Tissue samples containing HIV virus were collected for earlier studies in 1960 not related to HIV. Discovery of HIV virus in this tissue is a retroactive study conducted in recent years to try to further understand the epidemiological history of HIV.

Correction I earlier stated the tissue samples were from the 30s, this is incorrect it was 1960.

PDF attached. it's wonderful to have access to a large research library. Show me one credible source showing that HIV didn't exist before the 1970s or is manmade. Conspiracy theory websites touting pseudoscientific conjecture don't count since they haven't done any scientific research or experiments.

Enough off topic conversation though. If you want to discuss the history and epidemiology of HIV create a new thread in general nonsense.
