I do not have a Windows computer. I do not have access to a Windows computer. I would be willing to start a group to port your PureEdge Viewer application to Linux and/or other operating systems such as Solaris (Sun).

I object to the government requiring the use of specific and costly COTS software in order to access and use a public function.

I heartily agree with the suggestion that /. readers should email the govt en masse and see if it makes any difference. A marvelous site on which to find the email addresses of your representative and your senators is http://www.visi.com/juan/congress/.

As for emailing my Congressional representatives, I will, but I'm in PA - the Santorum state.

Don't forget this site: Donations Accepted

The phrase "spreadfirefox" made me immediately think of "spreadingsantorum". Maybe I'm too puerile to promote Mozilla.

Ever read "Savage Love"? Its syndicated in the Chicago Reader and a few other places. Basically a VERY funny, sometimes disturbing, VERY fringe sexual advice column. After one of Santorum's particularly theocratic and bigoted suggestions (which one? I don't remember, he's made so many) the writer -Dan Savage- coined a new noun.
Savage Love - 05/29/03 and http://www.thestranger.com/2003-06-12/savage.html
santorum: (san-TOR-um) n.
1. The frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex

Apparently the term has caught on and is in limited common usage.

Is Santorum next? The issues sound superficially similar.

Although more people probably know Santorum as a frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex than a homophobic senator, Rick Santorum might still try to shut the Santorum site down.

Does this mean google.com's ipo might be undermined by a zero hour lawsuit from http://www.googol.com/ ? For how long must i rent a name from netsol before i actualy have any rights to it? Have we establised any statute of limitations for this government sactioned theft? More practicaly what if Senator Rick Santorum has a child/pet/other entity entitled to use of his surname, calles it `Spreading` can he then take http://spreadingsantorum.com/ from its rightful owners. Think of the loss to the english language. Any number of domain names might resemble a name for something else. I hope my IP address does not offend anyone. i dont want the courts stealing that too.

SEO? SCO? Whatever, to me it's all just a load of Santorum.

so that the "community standards" of the whole country will be decided the citizens of the most conservative counties of the state that elected Rick Santorum senator.

You forgot to link Santorum.
Hope this helps.

...by which I mean "give" the military things it doesn't want, like extra B-2 bombers and the blood of innocents and stuff. Why? Search me. I can't even figure out who keeps getting santorum all over the floor.

In the article they mention the 'Mori Uncanniness' problem- there is a point that is the 'most anthropomorphic' you can get, before the thing becomes about as pleasant as santorum. IANARS, but the RS's at CMU's Robotics Institute state in A Survey of socially interactive robots

[if a robot needs to portray a living creature,] it is critical that an appropriate degree of familiarity be maintained. Mashiro Mori contends that the progression from a non-realistic to realistic portrayal of a living thing is non-linear. In particular, there is an ?uncanny valley? (see Fig. 8) as similarity becomes almost, but not quite perfect. At this point, the subtle imperfections of the recreation become highly disturbing, or even repulsive...

FWIW There are many more issues than just cannyness, and that paper gets into a lot of em...

Santorum.
