It's the threats. I have new work again now. If I have to stop it though like I had to stop school, I don't want to hear the threats again. I'm just tired of being in pain, being threatened for being disabled and not working harder, and not being able to do anything about it. It is no different than water torture. I have no plans to go on SSI. I have no plans to become a begger.

There is my on responsibility and there is their responsibility. They push too hard it falls on their own responsibility for what happens. They know I'm handicapped, but don't care.

things like life and death just stop mattering anymore. I'm tired of being threatened when I can't even walk outside. It's just time. I need to hang myself so they can tell something is wrong. I don't want to be in pain anymore.

They are going to be able to repo my life.

I'm hanging myself in front of one of my student loan student loan agencies. I want you there to take the pictures for me here in Seattle. This in the perfect end for a worthless gimp.

If anyone is in Seattle, they can take pictures after the event and perhaps mail it out.

Maybe cheer me on. Being in pain isn't worth it. I can't go out. I can't have fun. I don't use a phone because I get threats from them. I can't afford a new prostetic when this one breaks. It is all dead end.

I feel like i am 60 when I am 28. I don't want this anymore. I've tried so hard for so long.

I lost my leg to cancer when I was 12. Because of the pain from walking, I was forced to stop going to school before I could graduate. I tried to make it on my own working at target. But the loans people kept calling until:

• They upped my hours so I lost my medicaid
• My leg broke from the added stress
• Forced me to stand on it for so long and bike to work that I was breaking from the mental stress of the pain again like I was at school.
• I crushed my hand in my leg so now I have nerve damage in my hand because I was forced to bike to work when I shouldn't have been.

I know the only thing I have to look forward to life is this continuing pain and having the student loans people call me telling me I'm useless. I can't even do minimium wage work.

I've been mailing all of the local papers and handing out the paperwork. When I do hang myself, they can't say they didn't know why. They can't say they didn't expect it. As a cripple with no other choices in this world, this is the last thing that I can give back to humanity.

There is no hiding. I am Zachary Dovel, and I hope to be remembered for the good and not the bad. I just need to hang myself before they force me homeless again. Like almost everyone else in this world, the student loans companies want all of the money without any of the responsibility.

So I am not sure what that makes Osama Bin Laden, but I am sure we can twist it someway to make ourselves feel fuzzy inside. I can't say that the US encryption export restrictions really made a difference in this case.

I think hanging myself is probably the best way that I can help people and show that there is something wrong. There is more honor in that than just falling into the homeless system (which probably isn't going to last anyway.) There is something romantic about dieing for a cause when you have nothing left.

That's about right. I had to drop out of college due to some health problems. I had an artificial leg that started te hurt so much that it was causing mental problems for me concentrating. I wouldn't ever go out to have fun because of it either.

After 6 years I have my first chance at a stable job. I don't ask for help much, but those loans are threatening me from even starting work.

I don't have the money for a new leg. I'm on crutches. I crushed my hand in my crutches so I have lost some of the function in 3/5 fingers. The crutches just make it worse. Hopefully I don't get carpel tunnel walking 6 miles a day.

I've taken a few handouts as far as good and shelter. I was sleeping outside for 2 months. But I have no plans to go onto SSI even though I could probably get it. If my student loans fuck me over starting this job, the plan is to hang myself at the student loan org.

I've set up the paperwork so no one can claim they didn't know. I'm tired of the government jamming things I don't need and/or are actively detrimental into my face while ignoring what I do need.

Don't really remember 3. But it is interesting looking back and noticing how with each movie the costumes progressively got cheaper and cheaper. ... and then there are the costumes for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Coming Out of Their Shells Tour which are in a league of their own.

I have a feeling my feelings about this movie will be similar to TMNT2 vs TMNT1. TMNT1 sucked if you were too little. TMNT2 sucked if you were too old. As you grow up, the one you like better switches. This movie will be a TMNT2....

For saying that Gnome 3 is one-of-a-kind on a Gnome 3.4 Preview news story I get marked flamebait and offtopic? REALLY? My instincts say that the moderators decided to only read my last sentence and ignore the content of my writing. :-/

There is a lot of truth to this "not having a choice" thing.

I ran away from home in NY about 6 months ago. I was working at Target for about $7.25 an hour with an artificial leg. Things weren't going too horribly for having to run around a store that huge being handicaped.

Then the loan sharks started coming. The kept calling the company until they started upping my hours. I was biking into work 7 miles each way because I didn't have that much money.

The extra load started causing mechanical problems with my fake leg and because of the extra hours, I lost my health medicaid health insurance because I was making too much money to keep the insurrance, but too little to pay for leg repairs, a car, and loans at the same time.

So I left for Washington to hang myself at Nela (the student loan organization.)

Over time and talking with people, I decided to give things another try because I do have a computer technical background. Casher again isn't an option since my leg is now cracking in half with no way to fix it.

It looks like I may be getting a NOC Engineer job this week. Unfortunately, walknig 4-6 miles a day on crutches is making my fingers go numb on my left hand.

I called the student loan organization not too long ago. If this doesn't work out because I can't type anymore, I will be hanging myself there. Because there isn't any other choice. That is what our current government is about.

And what do you gain by having all of the desktops functioning exactly the same? This is the first desktop on Linux that actually uses the application paragrim at its base. You're going to have to pry it from my cold dead hands since ther is NOTHING else similar to switch to. At least you can always go to XFCE or KDE or something else similar.

Your words are hollow.

Let's say you create a device. You send the blueprints to a manufacturer and soon start selling a "new segment" product. Lets say the company that was manufacturing your device decides to get in on the action since they see how well you're doing. They know what it will take... they have your blueprint after all.

Would you be upset if you were the designer of the device and manufacturer started putting out something a bit "too" similar to your product? Do you truly believe no further inspection is really necessary?

It's the same vat of hot water as a tech employee jumping between competing companies.

For a console that crashed and burned, it sure is following the same standard patterns of a normal 5-year Nintendo console lifecycle. I'm pretty sure they were still much more profitable this generation than the GameCube generation even including this years sales.

I found the trick with Wii games was to go into them with an open mind and try not set too many expectations. You'll enjoy them a lot more that way. There is a distinct culture difference in Wii games that just flies over the heads of many people. (Example: Nintendo games tend to read like a book. They don't do voiced dialog. That is not necessarily a minus even though people like to pretend it is.)

We are seeing a lot of paragrim shifts in software from the tablet interfaces appearing in projects such as Gnome 3 and the motion controls appearing in the Wii or Kinect. The holdouts will only move forward kicking and screaming.
