Arrived in Nagasaki two weeks after the bomb was dropped; he was a Marine assigned to the Occupation force, he died of advanced arterial disease in 1972; I firmly believe that his time walking a perimeter around the blast area as a guard caused his problems; he actually died of kidney failure after his vascular system broke down; he had both legs amputated, several strokes and several heart attacks; he was an extremely old man at his death, aged 52; I'm 58, with several of the same problems, but I was concieved in 1946.
The biggest problem are the typical computer users; they don't realize how badly they're getting screwed. As a Linux user, I realize just how invasive some of the things producers are doing really are, but Joe Six-pack (poor Joe) doesn't have (or WANT) a clue; until this stops being a niche issue that only geeks understand, it won't change. When will that happen? Beats hell out of me; I still can't figure out how Microsoft sells anything computer related, but people, for the most part, are cattle; they believe what they're told.
I got pissed enoughby this story that I actually registered to post a comment; what the hell is WRONG with these type of individuals? I've never understood the driving force behind them (yes, I know it's money), but I can't express the disgust I feel whenever I read something like this.

The whole article is bull exhaust; you lives with what you're given, you don't bitch about it.
