Depends.
While I have no experience with Orca, it seems to me most people with sight disabilities should use Linux on the command-line.
I know a lot of people who have that kind of disabilities long for the good old days of DOS 80x25 text screens, and there are tons of programs for Linux that can be really useful even with that kind of screen, starting with alpine, mutt, lynx, links, slrn, vim, emacs, snownews, screen and so on and so forth. Having a GUI is, frankly, not really useful for that kind of user. On the other hand, a simple text screen can be "read" with either a Braille terminal or a speech synthesis software.
After installing and configuring JAWS on Windows a couple of times for a blind friend, I can testify that it is the most expensive PoS I have ever seen...
Real old timers remember back before QR codes and are more likely to suggest something like IPoAC: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1149
The court found he was not trying to bomb the government. After 11 months in jail for no reason, he certainly has the motive to do it now.
It still only has a resolution of 1KM per pixel and the chromatic aberration is terrible.
actually the value of articles confiscated is not entirely wasted as those articles have founded a flourishing "surplus" industry:

The sad fact is you are probably not far from the bullseye on that one.
How many of the people that downloaded a crappy cam rip and could bear to sit through it told a bunch of their friends what a great movie it was, and not only went out to see it on the big screen, but brought a bunch of friends with them?
What a great guerilla marketing campaign that would be for Hollywood to pre-release a "cam" version of the film on Pirate Bay--poor video quality, lousy sound, shakes and wobbles, popcorn rustling!
I doubt there is a single person who knows about every aspect of IEEE 802.11.
There is. His name is Matthew S. Gast. Read this book and you'll have a solid foundation, too.
Agreed with a caveat. My NAS has 500gb and up drives... anything else gets consolidated. I tried using those old drives, but I soon realized it just wasn't worth it. The 500gb drive is going byebye soon too. After a certain point, the empty slot and power draw becomes valuable real estate that could be populated by a larger drive. Slow speed becomes a factor for obsolescence in some cases as well.
What smaller drives, even the 80-120gb types, are good for, is boot drives for crappy refurbished computers for grandma, or the kid down the street who has nothing. They can always upgrade, but it's great for starter and old systems for people who won't be downloading very much.
