Does anyone work for the challenge these days? I mean when did money truly make someone content in a job? Is there no satisfaction in doing amazing work?
When will we stop spending R&D money on weapons and start spending on disease control, and quality of LIFE programs? I know of a half million people with spinal cord injuries who would gladly forgo laser-based weaponry so they might forgo the use of a wheelchair.
Does anyone have budgetary numbers reflecting the spending variances between medical and military R&D in the public sector / private sector?
I am a disabled person. Yes, not a "person with a disability", a disabled person.
You can't miss it. I use a wheelchair, there is no hiding it. Myself, and most others I know don't care for political correctness because it candy coats the real issues. It actually diverts the focus from things like accessibility or access programs to "let's make sure everyone feels good about being a person".
Whatever - get on with life, start something creative and fresh, then people will not only recognize you as a person, they will recognize you as a success, disabled or not.

http://www.absolute.com - These guys have a bios based application called Computrace Plus. It performs the functions you described above.
A comp is plugged into any sort of web network after being reported stolen and it notifies the 'mothership'.
They even offer a data erase option that can wipe the drive of sensitive data if the computer has been stolen.
