Ok, first off, Your whole argument was based on things that a windows browser can do that a Linux browser cannot. Mozilla has no plugins either man. It's not netscapes fault that Macromedia doesn't make the flash plugin for the Linux platform, or certain java sucks, and won't work. The plugins are the problem, not the browser. If the plugins were out there, this article would never have been written Secondly, Mozilla is the most bloated piece of software out there. it's like 750M while building, it's absurd. Mozilla, is afterall, Netscape. It's just called Mozilla cause you get the source. I would never use an M$ OS cause I got more web browsers with it.
Sure they would, Since Solaris 7(2.7), if y ou sign up as a java developer for Sun(free), you can get solaris, both the sparc and intel versions for the measley cost of shipping. $10USD. Which in the long run, and comparite to old Solaris costs is free. I don't see any great validity to this artgument. Any person who wants to can obtain a copy of solaris for $10US. People use linux cause they want too, same reason people use Solaris. The free part is an added bonus.
What I think the people that are meeting in Munich have forgotten, at least for US citizens, is that this is against the law. There is this wonderful document called the Bill of Rights which garuntees my freedom to speak as freely as I wish to. More than this being morally wrong, as it would imped on the basic free will and strong sense of individualism we are all born with, it violates national laws in the United States of America. By the letter this may not be considered speach, as I am typing this. But to so many millions of people, speaking has moved beyond spoken word. It has moved to realms of communications our fore fathers couldn't even have fathomed. when you get right down to it this action would violate the 1st Amendment of The United States of America. Land of the free and home of the brave? More and more it seems to be the land of the scared and oppressed. The land of the cautious, self righteous, politically correct, nervous and timid. How are we to be free if we cannot practice one of the most basic and strong HUMAN rights we have to express ourselves freely. Am I supposed to sit back and let my human and legal rights be violated? Violated by big business and congressman who are 'protectiong the children'. The ones they are protecting are themselves. It's a true pity that so many things such as this go hand in hand with hypocrasy and greed. I for one will be damned if I'll allow myself be censored. I'll spend my life behind bars or worse to protect that right too. Anyone with me?
1st- the site was not done by a commercial company. The graphis were done by a friend of the projects founder, who is trying to make a name for himself in the web design business. And the webmastering is done by me, I have a full time job. 2nd- We do need more help, hence the reason of the post. If all we had was a sight that said. Hi, nothing, help!, would you? Probably not. And as was mentioned in an earlier comment, if we had a code base, would we be looking for a staff of coders and so forth? I think not.

it's free anyway. any school in the world with net access can download it and use it for free anyway. this is just some marketing ploy.
