Od pewnego czasu jej polska wersja stala sie ulubiona wyrocznia niektorych tu

O co chodzi? Dlaczego wikipedia, jak by nie bylo pisana przez wszystkich

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.

WHAT EXACTLY IS AN "ASSISTED COMPUTING FACILITY"?

Sometimes referred to as "Homes for the Technologically Infirm", "Technical
Invalid Care Centers," or "Homes for the Technically Challenged," Assisted
Computing Facilities (ACF's) are modeled on assisted living facilities, and
provide a safe, structured residential environment for those unable to handle
even the most common, everyday multi-tasks. Most fully accredited ACF's, like
Silicon Pines, are an oasis of hope and encouragement that allow residents to
lead productive, technologically-relevant lives without the fear and anxiety
associated with actually having to understand or execute the technologies
themselves.

WHO SHOULD BE IN AN ACF?

Sadly, technology is advancing at such a dramatic rate that many millions, of
all ages, will never truly be able to understand it, putting an undue burden on
those friends and family members who must explain it to them. But unless the
loved one is suffering from a truly debilitating affliction, such as
Reinstallzheimers, the decision to commit is entirely personal. You must ask
yourself:

"How frustrated am I that my parent/sibling/spouse is unable to open an email
attachment?"

"How much of my time should be taken up explaining how RAM is different from
hard-drive memory?"

"How many times can I bear to hear my dad say, 'Hey, can I replace the
motherboard with a fatherboard? Ha ha ha!' "

To make things easier, we have prepared a list of Warning Signs, which we
encourage you to return to often, or, if you can't figure out how to bookmark
it, print out. Also, please take a moment to read "I'm Glad I'm in Here! - A
Resident's Story."

MUST IT BE FAMILY, OR CAN I PLACE ANYONE IN AN ACF?

Several corporations have sought permission to have certain employees, or at
times entire sales departments, committed to ACFs.

At present, however, individuals can be committed only by direct family or self-
internment. The reason is simple: there are not nearly enough ACFs in the world
to accommodate all the technologically-challenged. For example, there are
currently only 860,000 beds available in ACFs, but there are 29 million AOL
users.

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?

ACF rents range from free up to $12,500 per month. The disparity is currently a
point of contention in the ACF industry. Many residents are covered through
government programs such as Compucaid or Compucare, but reimbursement rates are
low and only cover a portion of the fees.

Exacerbating the situation are the HMOs (HelpDesk Maintenance Organizations),
which often deny coverage, forcing residents to pay out of pocket or turn to
expensive private techcare insurers such as BlueCache/BlueScreen.

Offsetting the costs are technology companies themselves, many of which
subsidize ACFs. Firms such as Microsoft, Dell, Qualcomm, and America Online
will pay up to 100 percent of a resident's monthly bill, but there is a catch.
ISPs, for instance, require residents to sign service contracts lasting a year
or more. Microsoft, meanwhile, prohibits the installation of any competitive
software, while Priceline requires that residents buy shares of its stock,
which seems onerous but saves residents on lavatory tissue.

HOW OLD MUST I BE TO HAVE SOMEONE COMMITTED?

Until very recently, you had to be 18 or older to legally commit a family
member. However, the now famous British court case Frazier vs. Frazier and
Frazier has cleared the way for minors to commit their parents. In that case,
15-year-old Bradley Frazier of Leicester had his 37-year-old parents committed
to an ACF in Bournemouth after a judge ruled Ian and Janet Frazier were
a "danger to themselves and the community." According to court records, Bradley
told his parents about the I LoveYou virus and warned them not to click
attachments, then the next day his parents received an I LoveYou email and
clicked on the attachment because, they explained, "it came from someone we
know."

WHAT SHOULD I LOOK FOR IN AN ACF?

First, make sure it's a genuine Assisted Computing Facility, and not an
Assisted Living Facility. To tell the difference, observe the residents. If
they look rather old and tend to openly discuss bowel movements, this is
probably "assisted living." On the other hand, if they vary in age and say
things like, "I'm supposed to figure that out? I'm not Bill goddamned Gates you
know!," this is probably "assisted computing."

Also, at a well-run ACF, residents should lead full, independent lives, and
should be allowed the use of many technology devices, including telephones,
electric toothbrushes, and alarm clocks. However, only a facility's Licensed
Techcare Professionals (LTPs) should perform computational or technological
tasks such as installing programs or saving email attachments. And LTPs should
NEVER answer residents' questions because studies have shown that answering
user questions inevitably makes things worse. Instead, residents should simply
have things done for them, relieving them of the pressure to "learn"
or "improve."

CAN A RESIDENT EVER GET OUT?

No.

OK, THIS SOUNDS PROMISING. HOW CAN I LEARN MORE?

For your enlightenment, we offer extensive information on Silicon Pines and the
ACF lifestyle, which can be found by clicking one of the links in the
navigation bars found at both the top and bottom of this page. But whatever you
decide, keep in mind that due to demand, ACFs now have long waiting lists.
WebTV & AOL users alone will take years to absorb.

We look forward to your response. Thank you.

Toz to wierny cytat z piosenki "Bal na Gnojnej" Grzesiuka!

Nieprzespanej nocy znojnej
Jeszcze mam na ustach ślad.
U Grubego Joska przy ulicy Gnojnej
Zebrał się ferajny kwiat.
Bez jedzenia i bez spania
Byle byłoby co pić
Kiedy na harmonii Feluś zaiwania
Trzeba tańczyć trzeba żyć!

Harmonia na trzy czwarte z cicha rżnie
Ferajna tańczy wszystko z drogi!
Z szaconkiem bo się może skończyć źle
Gdy na Gnojnej bawimy się.

Kto zna Antka czuje mojrę
Ale jeden nie znał jej -
I naraził się dlatego na dintojrę
Skończył się z przyczyny tej.
Jak latarnie blado świcą
Smętnie gwiżdże nocny stróż
A kat Maciejewski tam pod szubienicą
Na Antosia czeka już.

Harmonia na trzy czwarte z cicha łka
Ferajna tańczy ja nie tańczę.
Dlaczegóż bal na Gnojnej jak co dnia
Gdy mnie jednej pary dziś brak.

Nie pisze sie z szaconkiem, z szaconkiem sie

[blotniarka.stawowa]

slucha!

Harmonia tango na trzy-czwarte rznie
Ferajna tanczy - na bok! z drogi!
Z szaconkiem bo sie moze skonczyc zle
Kiedy na Gnojnej bawimy sie.

To nie jest błędna, bez polskich znaków diaktrycznych, pisownia "szacónek"
zamiast "szacunek"
To jest "szaconek" - rodem z gwary warszawskiej.

► Zgadzam sie, jakkolwiek zdumiewajace jest powodzenie wikipedii wobec
formalnego wyksztalcenia.
Wiki przypomina mi owe prl-skie (a i obecne tez) prace magisterskie i
doktoranckie - kompilacje cala geba.
