Original by me and my friend Crispin on the phone last night. I read in a newspaper yesterday that in the northern territory of Australia a bill may soon be passed to legalise euthanasia. The process will be by a computer controlled lethal injection operated by the person wishing to die. In the process the user gets prompted thus: Continuing will mean that within thirty seconds you will receive a lethal injection and you will die. Do you wish to proceed Y/N? This has to beg the question, how reliable is the software? e.g. Continuing will mean that within thirty seconds you will receive a lethal injection and you will die. Do you wish to proceed Y/N? 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Module caused error code #1606 in lethlinj.sys. abort/retry/fail?
