Skipper Accessibility Suite 1.6.0 Released

Semi-Anonymous Reader writes "Skipper 1.6.0 is a GPLed Linux accessibility suite for the severely physically disabled - cerebral palsy, road traffic accidents, motor neuron disease, Parkinsons etc. It takes input from multiple devices like graphics tablets and microswitches connected directly to the printer port, does input switching and processing (configured graphically like modular synthesisers), and provides clever genetically annealed menu systems for application and desktop control. With just one detectable click, people can have full Web and email access - in fact the whole Linux desktop - in complete privacy. Now the problem's getting it to people who need it. Charities and institutions think physical, Windows and money, so it's down to the geeks. Set up a kid near you this Fall - they might not be the next Einstein or Mozart, but you'll be giving them a lifetime of education, activity, self-expression and self-determination."

    You are not a girl, you're just an annoying guy trying to karma whore. This sort of thing was discussed in trolltalk (sid 31337) a few days ago, and I expected this sort of trolling. Please, fuck off and die.

    - Slink around, shuffling your feet and bobbing your neck like the lazy retard
    you are.

    - Walk down the middle of the street because you don't know what a sidewalk is
    for.

    - Hang out at carwashes and mini-marts because everybody knows these are the
    best places to be a dope, I mean dope.

    - If you're a nigger bitch, shit three nigger babies into the world before 17
    years of age. This assures that welfare money will support you, so your
    nigger men have more time to commit crimes. Oh yes, make sure each nigger
    baby has a different father.

    - Bastardize the English language in the name of nigger culture. Make sure
    that several terms have multiple meanings and others have ambiguous meanings
    and that only 50% of nigger words are even complete words. Real niggers will
    know what you're trying to say.

    - As a culture, make sure there are always more bucks in prison than in
    college at any given time.

    - Hang out in packs of 10 to 15 and make sure everyone acts as annoying as
    possible. This helps to promote nigger individuality.

    - Always talk loud enough so everyone in the 'hood' can fucking hear you, and
    if they are niggers, they will know what you're saying, bro.

    - Wear clothes that are 10 sizes too big, making sure the pants hang off your
    ass. Also huge pants facilitate stealing (let me translate that: "it be
    easier to lift dat 'box at the Kmart, homes"). If you have to hold them up
    while you walk, it only looks badder.

    - Park at least 5 junk cars in your yard while being careful not to use the
    driveway. It's OK to abandon them in the street as long as it's in front of
    someone else's crib.

    - Exaggerate every motion, every tonal inflection and grab your dick a lot.
    Have red carpet, blue walls, brass and overstuffed furnishings (all rented),
    purple bathrooms and keep all windows covered so that no light can enter and
    no cops can see in while you...

    - Do drugs, sell drugs, make drugs.

    - Turn your backyard into a junk yard. If you don't have a backyard, turn
    your mother's into a junk yard. Eliminate every blade of grass.

    - Travel around leaching off relatives, friends, salvation armies. Abandon
    your children with them also.

    - Smack your kids and yell at them a lot. Make them feel less than human and
    that they have no future, which they don't because they're niggers like you.

    - Drink cheap wine and malt liquor every day, forgetting that "malt liquor" is
    just fortified cheap beer.

    - If you're a nigger buck: fuck anything that moves, no matter how ugly she is.
    After two eight-balls, even the ugliest, fattest nigger bitch will look good.

    - Be charitable and covet fat, ugly white chicks. After all, they're niggers
    too. They can't help being so undesirable to white men that they have to
    fraternize with black dudes on a 20/20 trip. And white ho's are a special
    trophy too, especially the not so ugly ones.

    - Spray paint everything in sight with scribbles that mean nothing to White
    people but mean things to fellow niggers (except niggers from another hood
    who will probably try to kill you for tresspassing on their turf)

    - Use the term "motherfucker" in every sentence. It's one of the most
    versatile words in the nigger language, being a noun, verb, adjective and
    complete mini-sentence in event you run out of thoughts.

    - Stop in the middle of the street, blocking all traffic to converse with
    fellow niggers and have complete disregard for everyone else.

    - Delay everybody at the checkouts while you and 3 other dudes fumble around
    for the $1.42 for the bottle of Magnum.

    - Clog isles at Kmart with strollers, bastard kids and your fat selves. If
    you're a cashier, never look at or be cordial to a customer and always talk
    to other niggers while you ring up the customer.
