This is not the first time AutoCAD has been hit. If I remember correctly, this problem also had some links to China. http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=13717811&linkID=9240617

Simply use OpenDNS, you don't even have to install an app (unless you want tracking), just change your DNS settings. I have been using it for years without complaint.

Exactly, the Internet ID is no different, so we don't need it.

Wow the FBI gets pissed if someone cons money. Maybe they should focus their attention on banks.

If all the effort here constructively arguing about Linux, Open Source, etc. was migrated to Netflix's blog, I'm sure they would get the message. I have twice this year wrote pleading for Linux platform support.

Submission + - Stem Cell Transplant Cures HIV-positive Man (huffingtonpost.com)

Submitted by smi.james.th on Thursday December 16, 2010 @03:42AM

smi.james.th writes: There's an article on The Huffington Post that describes the treatment of a man named Timothy Ray Brown for leukemia using a transplant of stem cells back in 2007. From the article: 'His doctors recently published a report in the journal Blood affirming that the results of extensive testing "strongly suggest that cure of HIV infection has been achieved." ' The article unfortunately does not describe how the treatment affected Brown's leukemia, but if the findings turn out to be true, 'they can certainly provide hope for the more than 33 million people living with HIV worldwide.' As far as I'm aware, this is the first time in history that an HIV-positive person has been cured of the virus, so hopefully soon enough, that cure can be available to more people around the globe.

I'm assuming whatever breaks/damages the plastic would also possibly damage the light source?
