And I'll disagree with the disagreement :-).
I don't believe you should
protect people from their own actions. If they want to get electrocuted,
that's their business. The _real_ problem is that the person (if he
lives) or his relatives then sues the manufacturer. The sooner such
lawsuits are sent where they belong the better!
But that is what happens everyday. I **do believe** people should be
allowed to do drugs, and they should be free, given by the government. It is up to you to die crazy, or keep a healthy life. Of
course, anyone caught
doing nasty things drugged should be killed :) BUT...The government takes
care of you as if you were a child and it were your mother.
Yes, and it's rapdily gettign on my nerves! Waht the health-n-safety
idiots don't seem to realise is that the damage to my health caused by
the frustration and stress from not being able to get <foo> (service
manual, spare part, sensible chemiocals, etc) is almost certainly greater
than the damage to my health that these things would cause.
I've got
plenty of things (not computer-related) that are more than 50
years old. None of them have any non-standard screws holding them
together. Many of them contain mains and/or higher voltages. Live chassis
(AC/DC) power supplies in valve radios and TVs were common. And yet I
don't believe everybody who owned such a device ended up killing
themselves trying to repair it.
Yesterday they even incluided schematics inside of it...It was VERY
common in TV Sets...
