For example, one prominent proponent of this argument is Sen. Fritz Hollings (D-Disney), who made this statement when introducing the CBDTPA:

ROTFLMAO!

Less buggy browser?

On: Slashback: Spambots, Retroism, VoIPhooey

(From the page)

Solution: Users of Netscape Navigator should move to a better performing, less buggy browser.

Anyone want to tell me a less buggy browser?

ATI?

On: ATi's New All-In-Wonder Radeon 8500 128MB

I know this has been discussed before, and I'm not about to rehash it. I just hope /. is getting a good check for this one. Maybe next time there will be a nice link so we can buy it directly?

E-Petitions

On: Electronic Signatures Now Legal?

Now that electronic signatures are legal, is it possible to create an electronic petition? Say, for the purposes of bring the DMCA up to general election?

I'm sure CNN would love it too, "DMCA to be reviewed after government receives 12 million petition e-signatures"
