immagin tis: a hacker is threating your system, and ou ar running speakup. though theirs no way ot shut it off, with /proc/speakup you can mess it up. sinceany ser cn write t it (i think), people could adjust your rat and stuff while they do their work, and by the time you had it running, you'd be dead. i'm lucky i'm behind some kind of firewall myself, for when i get better internet i'll be faced with maybe a hacker or 2. and i fi bring my braille lite home, i'll probably plug it in again with speakup.
