This poll reminded me that I need to back up stuff. So I'm doing it right now. Most of my important stuff is backed up in the form of offsite version control. Other stuff I do whenever i feel motivated enough to take care of it (rarely). Any personal records, documents, pictures, music, etc... that haven't been backed up yet can be easily recovered from where ever I got them. Anything that can't is old enough to be in a back up already.

The title is misleading. From TFA: “What we want to work towards is something that’s wearable ... but that might be a few years away yet.”

It is touching that this man was able to carry on with things that were important to him despite the crippling effects of ALS. It seems that even near the end of his fight, he took joy from maintaining some normalcy in his life. He really wanted the world to treat him just the same as if he never had the disease - as a man with something positive to add (and the open source model helped make this possible). If it hadn't been for his son, we never would have known of his condition. I don't think Adrian Hands wanted special treatment or consideration from others. Your concerns are admirable, but I think if Mr. Hands were still alive, he wouldn't want to be coddled with kid gloves just because of what he was going through. So go ahead and post your goatse link, just like you would on any other thread. In a perverse way, he would have wanted you to.
