Slashdot Mirror
Communicating with Handicapped Loved Ones?
Trx asks: "Many of us regularly exchange digital images from our loved ones, but the disabled are often left on the dark side of this digital divide. My dad is quadriplegic, and I've been looking into ways I might outfit his room with an automated download of images to his television. Have any Slashdot users attempt something of this sort? He lives in an assisted living facility, with personal telephone/cable lines. He has special response buttons for control of television channels and phone. Due to high staff-turnover, training-in staff to help him download emails or images hasn't worked out. I am stationed overseas, and can only get back once every 6 months if I'm lucky, so low-maintenance is key. WebTV would be an option if it didn't require mouse or keyboard. We've also considered investing in a laptop DVD player, and mailing disks. Any suggestions?"
He should kill you off instead so the rest of us aren't forced to waste our mod points.
Jackass.

I would be happy to tell you a few nice, chosen words about your ancestry, and some details about the problems with inbreeding, but I doubt you would understand them.
I really do hope you find your most loved one in such a situation, only to have some half-wit sucker tell you "hey your wife/child/parent is only so far from being a vegetable... you should finish him/her".
Hoping you the worst for your continued slimy life, I end on a happy note thinking just you dying the most usual way would make a nice Darwin Award.
