You guys want to have a karma fight? Even if I can't vote, I don't think I can lose...

honestly- having to disclose cancer? WTF! - isn't that personal?

I agree. It IS personal. People can use whatever justification they want to pry into seamy details, but unless he was given a date of expiration, it's his information to do with what he wants.

Sure, just post about 2000 comments and we'll downmod them all.

I think you meant FreeBSD.

Nah, I mean a Linux distro with a GUI to die for. And drivers that ensure everything 'just works' ;-) Actually, maybe I do mean FreeBSD... with the GUI on top plus all the drivers!

It's called OS X.

Here is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs in 2005 at Stanford where he announces that he had cancer.

Edit: not agreeing or disagreeing with anyone's opinions on CNN mentioning his pancreatic cancer, I'm just linking this because I was reminded of it after reading the comment about his cancer and I recall it being an interesting read.
