Slashdot readers will remember that I was victim of medical malpractice in Québec. For anyone who would like to read my story, I posted it on ratemds.com.

People write that Monster cables are overpriced but Nintendo cartridges stop working because of rust, I think. So what is a middle ground between cables that rust and cables that are overpriced?

This technology is a breakthrough if it exists. But if it doesn't then it is not.

I see you don't like KDE configuration files.

Meanwhile goverments are clamping down on medical malpractice lawsuits. See for example this page.

It has been argued that piracy can cause innocent people to lose their jobs. But which is worse: losing your job at a record company or being the victim of a botched surgery?

The name of the surgeon who *intentionally* aggressed me and left me with a handicapped left hand is: Julien Poitras.

I am in Québec and I was the victim of an *intentional* aggression by a surgeon that left me with a handicapped left arm. I am in the process of complaining to the medical college. I could not file a lawsuit because the system in Québec in biased against malpractice victims. This makes it so that surgeons can intentionally butcher anyone they dislike for whatever reason.

For visitors coming to Canada from abroad, stay the fuck away from the filthy cesspool of French distinct society that Quebec has become.

You're righter than you think. :(

How do you know that there isn't a bug in modinfo? Look at the driver not at modinfo.

I just realised: it is possible to put a camera in a TV that uses the lens that seems to be for the infrared remote control. It is technically difficult but not impossible. Question that remains is, has it ever been done?

I have seen spy cameras disguised as other things. For example a wall clock with a black dot that happens to be a spy camera.

Linux is not communism. Part of the appeal of Linux is that Microsoft abuses its monopoly to eliminate competition (OS/2, BeOS, Wordperfect, QuickTime, etc...). By defending competition, freedom of choice and a free market, Linux defends capitalistic ideals. And people are allowed to sell Linux: SuSE does just that.

Software patents are no more, according to a recent court decision.
