What Happens To Your Data When You Die?
dacarr writes "Your data - that is, the personal web pages and projects you have worked on to make the 'net a better place - are presumably password protected. But sooner or later the time will come when you take that last breath, and with you goes your passwords, but not your data. It's still there for your benefactors to deal with. And while many famous people who are no longer with us (e.g., Douglas Adams or Chuck Jones) have a staff for this, well, many of us don't. As such, have you planned for the hereafter, and if so, how?"
if you consider yourself a libertarian, this is perhaps the most important right--to determine the time of your own death.
No one that has ever killed themselves has told me he regreted it afterwards. It is common for failed or stopped suicides to exrpess regret at even trying. You have to try really hard to pretend only the first class were making a rational decision. Extreme (or poser) Libertarianism requires that people be allowed to make their own choices without exception, but the implication is that they will make rational decisions.
As an extreme (or poser) libertarian you would agree that someone in emotional distress shouldn't be allowed to kill another unwilling person, right? That still holds If the person to be killed is himself.
This is an opinion from a guy who reads Reason magazine, and I voted for Harry Brown. So that makes you a freak job (or a teenaged poser).
.sig Karma out the wazoo, better to spend points elsewhere if this is above 2 or below 0
