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?"
Let the world know exactly what kind of person I was.
A dirty old man.
Can you honestly tell me you haven't seen or heard of this man every bit as often as Richard M Stalin or Linux Torvalds? We are greater in death.
I never could understand what would cause someone to take their own life
If your daily existence is an absolute hell and you know with almost absolute certainty that the next thirty or fifty years of your life are also going to be hell and there is nothing you can do to change it then suicide is a sensible option.
Hell. I am twenty-nine years old. My life has always been pretty shitty. When I was younger my father got locked up for abusing my sister, my family never had any money, etc. Somehow I went to college but now I still have a horrible low paying job only now I also have tens of thousands of dollars in student loans that will financially cripple me for the rest of my life.
I don't have any friends. I'm 29 years old and have never had a girlfriend. I probably have aspergers syndrome or some form of high functioning autism. Being uncharismatic, poor and ugly I have little chance of ever having any real friends or a girlfriend.
The only reason that I don't kill myself is because one day I am going to get revenge on all you fuckers, you screwheads, you scum, you filth. One day a real rain is gonna come and wash all this shit away. One day I'm gonna flush all you fuckers right down the fucking toilet. True power, all the kings men could not put it back together again...
Posting unecessary bullshit about topics you don't understand and mystical fairylands in response to a post you didn't even fucking read is the coward's way of living your life. If you had any fucking balls at all you wouldn't be such a pussy on the web and you'd go pick on people in real life.
Go lift some weights and maybe you won't keep getting your ass beat you sorry little pansy.
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
"cron" is not an acronym: it's "cron" not "CRON".
