This is the most insane article I have ever read.... The deaf culture ???? Beyond words...
I agree with the first part but the second part no, every group has it's own culture, the gaming culture being an example.
I was floored as well, there are so many different ways one could respond this article, but each of them say the same thing, u nuts?
Working on a post to this subject I saved it in a fast easy to find title as I normally do - this one came out to be TheDeafCanHear_ItMustBeStopped.txt That ain't right.
Alexander Graham Bell's central interest of his life was deaf education or that he was one of the most prominent proponents of oralism in the United States... After emigrating from England to Canada in 1870 Bell began to teach speech to deaf students using a universal alphabet invented by his father called "Visible Speech." In 1872 he opened a school in Boston to train teachers of deaf children.
Bell's second chief interest was the study of heredity and animal breeding, - you can see where this is headed... ----
Bell warned of a "great calamity" facing the nation: deaf people were forming clubs, socializing with one another and, consequently, marrying other deaf people. The creation of a "deaf race" that yearly would grow larger and more insular was underway. Bell noted that "a special language adapted for the use of such a race" already was in existence, "a language as different from English as French or German or Russian." Some eugenicists called for legislation outlawing intermarriage by deaf people http://www.pbs.org/weta/throug...
Found that by accident. I was searching for mass killings of the deaf; due to the mentioning that "the deaf can't have faith" - I would assume the Catholics alone would have a history of it.
Only came across the Holocaust where they were treated very badly (considering).
Could be the deaf weren't found in large numbers in the past.
Brazil confirms existence of 'lost Amazon tribe' discovered via satellite as another goes missing after drug gang attack The news comes as another uncontacted tribe went 'missing' after drug traffickers overran Brazilian guards posted to protect its lands. No trace of the Indian tribe has been found after heavily-armed men destroyed a guard post in western Brazil around 32 miles from the Peruvian border. Workers from FUNAI, the government bureau of Indian affairs, found a broken arrow in one of the men's backpacks, raising fears for the tribe's safety.

Sorry, but this is absolutely wrong. The codes are still secret, you still have to go to the dealer to have it read or repaired. The only thing the government did was standardize on one particular connector and on a small subset of the codes, namely those dealing with emissions. So if some emission-related component fails and the car's ECU flags a code saying such, then you're in luck: you can get an aftermarket code reader to see this, and clear the code after you replace that component. If some other code is flagged for something entirely different, then you'll just see "P9876" and have no clue what that means.
I have a soccer Mom's van, never thought I'd own one, but it's paid for itself many times over by being invisible. It's also has self leveling shocks and any other luxury you might require including a rear air conditioner.
If you really want to take care of, and repair your auto yourself you can; by reading the ECM codes and using a shop manual. A shop manual is also what the dealers mechanics will use to fix your auto.
People will purchase a Chiltons and try to take care of their autos; with it your able to change the oil filter and tighten belts. I try to impress upon people that they really need a shop manual which is only twice the price, but I get "if everybody else is using Chilton's they can't all be wrong and they're sold at the local auto parts store" argument so I quit (not exactly the persuasive type).
I have a shop manual for all my vehicles. My truck for example $120 got me One book of electrical diagrams, 304 pages, each page is 16X11 One book "fuel and Emissions" - this has your codes and how to approach a bad reading. One book "Unit Repair" - repair of items, including rebuilding the engine and transmission. 1500-2000 pages (I had to supply the binder) - exploded views of each area of the truck. How to take it apart to access areas to repair or replace.
A lot, but it covers every truck produced in that year. The truck is the only auto I couldn't buy the shop manuals from the dealer, but had to go on-line.
The Codes tell you what's going on "Fuel and Emissions", the "Unit Repair" shows the expected values expected for every relay, switch, wire, unit, what have you; and how to adjust for that value. This is what you would use to zero your leveling. It also show any special tools required and their part number - if you have to have it, you can get it, and yes they can be spendy.
I don't have a new car, I take care of what I've got. So haven't run into the "Black box" or the keys so don't know how that's handled. Also can't really give a complete argument to your reply because I haven't had a need to repair one.
Google will find you auto repair sites where codes and access questions are asked, just like any other help site. You can keep up on the software requirements as well, be it the code reader or add on's. The problem here is an older auto takes a lot of digging, where as what's new or hot has a lot of help (just like anything else).
And they go out of print. Many comparisons between the two can be made. I don't think the legal system would buy that argument though. (I did try for a better word than 'buy')
Moreover, the auto manufacturers still aren't required to disclose the keys to the kingdom to the degree that is suggested here.
You have good points and this is really petty, but they were told to do just that.
A car now days will tell you what's wrong with it, you just need to plug into it and read the codes. The auto industry tried to keep those codes secret so you had to goto the dealer to have it read/repaired.
Legal system said no, ain't gonna happen, and Congress agreed. Those codes are accessible now with a reader, a Chilton's (but I suggest a shop manual), and an auto >= 1999 (for the reader adapter which was standardized).

What's next car manufacturers having to fix parts on 30 year old cars?
You didn't read the PDF:} while it says 8 pages half are cites, it addresses auto's. Auto companies provide third parties with details so they (third parties) can continue supplying parts.
Magstrips on credit cards are extremely durable (besides the fact that they are outdated). It required a beast of an electromagnet to corrupt a bit on them. And those were written by a cheap USB card reader.
Bad example(s):} I have a bank card I use to make purchase that's strip is so weak it's hit or miss which scanners will read it (mostly miss). The ones that charge $3.00 a transition always work.
I've seen all kinds of ways to get it to be read, the most popular is sticking it in a plastic bag and then running it though the readers. Yes I have a replacement coming and have many times in the past - without going into details accept the fact they never make it to me.
But it is the only card that's ever been bad for me, even ones I've had for years have had no problems being read.
