The toughest decision:should my loved one be placed in an assisted computing facility?For family members, it is often the most difficult and painful decision they will face: to accept that a loved one — a parent, a spouse, perhaps a sibling — is technologically impaired and should no longer be allowed to live independently, or come near a computer or electronic device without direct supervision. The time has come to place that loved one into the care of an Assisted Computing Facility. But you have questions. So many questions. We at Silicon Pines want to help. (gleefully stolen from /.)

/. has too many posts to breathe. I understand that all I'm doing here is contributing to that horrible, horrible inflation. but what else can i do? be silent.

Not quite the same, but this reminded me of it. So very cool.

(Is it just me, or has the Atlantic Monthly's online site gotten much, much more badass, and I didn't know about it?)

OT: but /. is much more bearable if you set your user preferences to light display (no graphics), minimum score 3, threaded, and split at 2.

For any discussion for which you want more than just the cream of the crop, simply change the settings in the thread bar.

I never read Slashdot. I'm too technologically impaired to understand it.
