Re: Demons
Hi Enes,
I see what you're saying, and yes, that could present some challenges.
Brad is right, though. Something like Winstaller, or, more specifically, Core Recovery, might be able to do these things. There are a couple of drawbacks, of course. One is the high cost, I've heard that the Winstaller program recently received a drastic price increase, so that's not cool. The second is, and maybe this wouldn't be an issue in other countries, but here, an employer would probably not be at all happy if you used your own software solutions. There are usually strict guidelines on what software you can and cannot use or install in a work environment.
That's one reason why blind people have such a hard time finding employment, because companies are usually skittish about providing adaptive software, not only because of the potential cost, but because it's not in the preapproved list, so to speak.
CX2 brings up a good point too, though. Even
if you couldn't run Combofix the way you wanted to, if you're able to use a sata/ide enclosure, and back up at least some of the uninfected data, you could very easily wipe the drive. That should get rid of most malware.
Now I want to address something that was said a few posts back about two blind people marrying having disastrous results. That sounds incredibly closed-minded to me.
Personally, I think it would be exhausting to date, let alone marry, a sighted person. I realize that I'm generalizing here, but most sighted people believe that they're going to have to be a blind person's caretaker upon meeting us. I think that, as a result, some blind/sighted relationships are codependent, or unhealthy in other ways. Not all, mind you, but some. Besides, when I'm getting to know someone who is potential relationship material, I tend to focus on common interests, tastes in music, movies, and that kind of thing, and just generally exploring a pe
rson's character and personality. Almost all of my relationships have started out as friendships, in other words. I'm not saying that it's impossible, but it would be more difficult to build up this level of emotional intimacy with a sighted person initially, because you would be busy explaining how you do things as a blind person, and, if you're going to date them, chipping away at those misconceptions that they may hold.
At least, I would. I don't think I could take it if I hooked up with someone, got emotionally invested, and, a year later, the person still believes that blind people are inherently less than sighted people.
I'm not saying that I would never, ever date a sighted person, or that they're all evil. Nor am I saying that your point is completely without merit. It is nice to have a sighted person who knows you well to drive you places that a bus can't take you, for example, or in an emergency. But, to me, that feels patr
onizing towards the sighted person, as if we expect them to chaperone us. Which brings me back to the unbalanced power dynamics that can be present in blind/sighted relationships.
Those are just my opinions, so take them however you like. I'm quite sure that most people don't agree with me, and think I'm crazy, but that's nothing new, lol.
