My brother does not belive, that the program really searches for a medicine for AIDS. He tell me, that Fight@Aids is a new trojan program. How I can change his mind?
----------------------------------------He works in computer laboratory in my university und has 26 computers (22 celerons 2.4 Ghz and 4 Pentiums 2.8 Ghz with 500 Mb RAM memory). Maybe somebody knows links of oficial sites some state institutions, where was writen about this project or other cases? Please write about it. Thanks. P.S Sorry for mistakes P.P.S Якщо тут є хтось з України, то відізвіться!!! [Edit 1 times, last edit by Loshka at Mar 4, 2006 9:31:31 PM] |

It's from IBM. This is easy to verify.
Actually, I was expecting to be able to verify digital signatures, but I can't find any. |

I know about site of IBM. But maybe some other respected newspapers, magazines, charitable organizations, mail services etc. in the Internet wrote about this project in their pages (I need links).
HIV/AIDS is a great disaster. I think, that government institutions of many countries may have wrote about "FightAIDS@Home" in their sites.I need such arguments. Please help.  |

The TRUTH is that he probably don't want to run the program...alot of people just don't want to think about it!!!! People don't want to think about illness, getting sick or dying...much less all the nasty thing like homosexuality that HIV has been widely associated with...they would rather pretend everything is okay, all good and happy. Running a program like this is a reminder of what they try so hard to ignore and forget about.
People don't want to deal with it...they can't handle it!!! I have seen this working with disabled people in wheel chairs...an insurance guy suggested to push this one guy down the stairs and it would be an accident to something nobody wants to deal with. Sick or disabled people are considered a burden on society...that it is their own fault further more for their condition. Disabled people used to be left to die back in the stone age. |

Here's the article that I saw on cnn.com back in November 2004 that convinced me to join up. I hope this helps to convince your brother. The more computers working on it the better
