When a Chinese family shuts up about the method of death it's almost always a suicide because there's suppose to be a mark of shame for the family. If it's heart attack or cancer they'd have nothing to hide. Because if it ain't on the Internet, _/ it can't be true Just culturally curious and trying to keep you honest. Another common saying is "It's better to live like a dog than to die like a king." Suicide's paving the road to hell has been a long held belief of Catholics, and possibly other religions also consider it as self-murder. Indeed buddHists monks routinely, though not on large scale, commit suicide. Most families feel uneasy about the suicide of a member, in addition to pain. It's of course possible that your family doesn't, if you have one, and they will go to Jerry's show over your body. Asian families, and to some extent every group that in general have more "family values" than trailer tribes tend to prefer to keep such thing private, which I like, and lean toward denial, which than die well." There is neither dog nor king, and it is an attitude usually ascribed to the lower classes who supposedly have no shame. There are many more sayings to the contrary for the self-respecting ones, so you I don't. BTW, the saying you quoted literally translates to "it's better to live marginally than die well." There is neither dog nor king, and it is an attitude usually ascribed to those who have no shame and will do or say anything to get by. There are many more sayings to the contrary for the self-respecting ones, but you don't have to know them. If he died of AIDS or Bob Crane-style, they'd shut up about it.
Instead of saying "I'm going to walk X miles, can you donate $1 per mile?" why don't they just simplify it and say "Give me whatever $ you got"? Sheesh \_ Because charity events get more people involved in asking for money.
This suggests the practice will probably die out evenutally. I suspect that the socities with faster growth rates may be subject to a massive die-off sooner or later. tmpl=story&ncid=581&e=4&cid=581&u=/nm/2002071 0/tc_nm/people_kan_dc_5 Advanced Document Not Found The document you requested is not found. tag=fd_top Kan, 25, rose to prominence online as one of the most articulate spokesmen for the Gnutella file-swapping community at the height of the Internet's love affair with peer-to-peer software. San Mateo County Coroner spokeswoman Sue Turner said Kan was found last week at his Northern California home. A soft-spoken man with a talent for coining phrases that cut neatly through technical complexities, Kan fell into the limelight almost accidentally. Shortly after the 27 release of Gnutella by America Online employee Justin Frankel, Kan and several friends set up a 28 portal site intended to serve as an information hub for Gnutella developers. Kan helped write an early version of Gnutella designed to work on the Unix operating system, and he and his partners wanted to help bring together fragmenting efforts to extend the original technology. With interest in file swapping running high, the site drew journalists as well as developers, and Kan quickly became an unofficial ambassador between the nontechnical world and peer-to-peer coders. His own technical interests remained paramount, however. After finishing their own version of Gnutella, he and his partners developed a means of turning the technology's file-trading capabilities into a powerful new kind of search engine, dubbed 29 InfraSearch. The idea was compelling enough to persuade former Netscape Communications executives Marc Andreessen and Mike Homer to invest in a start-up built around the technology. InfraSearch later was 30 acquired by Sun Microsystems as one of the software giant's first forays into peer-to-peer applications. The technology was added into Sun's own peer-to-peer project, dubbed Jxta (pronounced Jux-ta). Kan became one of the key members of Sun's small Jxta team. In moments not dedicated to coding, Kan was an aficionado of fast cars and street racing. He was also working on several new projects, including a peer-to-peer content distribution system dubbed Gnougat and a new technology for streaming MP3s. A memorial fund is being set up in Kan's name at UC Berkeley. Donations can be sent to the following address: In memory of Gene Kan; Checks should be made out to "UC Regents" but clearly marked for the Gene Kan fund. html InfraSearch allows any connected device on a network -- from cell phones and wireless PDAs to PCs and servers -- to communicate, collaborate and share information. Sun Microsystems bought Kan's company, then known as GoneSilent, last March for a reported $10 million, and until his death Kan worked for Sun as a consultant on the connected search project, now known as 22 Project JXTA.

It was going well and he was getting paid," Oliver said. He also collected license plates with technology-related expressions but refused to have the oft-suggested "MP3" plate made, believing it would cause hassles he didn't want to deal with.
