Actually, the bank can't run out of money. According to the rules, when the bank runs out of money, you're supposed to "make money" out of ordinary paper. Or you can just keep track of what each person has, without actually exchanging bills.
It's Friday afternoon, and the page is gone! I got a letter from some guy named @@@@ (who I emailed after finding a link on the main page of aspalliance), and got this reply:
Sam,
You've sent this email to the company that hosts the aspalliance.com site.
We do not manage the content but we have been in contact with the person who
does. We are assured that the IE-only redirect page will be removed immediately.
Thank you,

I also emailed aspalliance's prez, but got a letter defending the page.
I asked him, "How many times have you been slashdotted today?"
I decided that I was going to have a look-see at that page I was going to be locked out of. I reloaded the page, and hit the 'stop' button at just the right time. The page looked fine. It was usable, and in fact, quite pretty (with the formatting)! Aspalliance.com is just stupid.
public institutions (e.g. universities, etc) based in the US are bound to provide electronic accessibility to the disabled. There haven't been too many lawsuits yet, but there will be more. Browser customization works against accessibility.
I can imagine...
"I'm suing because I was denied access to your site, because my experience was disabled by Netscape!"
Netscape users shouldn't complain about being locked out. I tried using Netscape's webmail with Opera 5.0, which supports standards better than Netscape, and got locked out of their site. Complaining that Netscape is locked out is being hypocritical when Netscape locks out a superior browser (Opera supports standards much better than Netscape). I didn't waste my time. I just got a pop mail account from Yahoo, and forgot about Netscape.
That would end up being one of those useless gadgets that are in the classifieds in the back of Popular Science. There would be some uses, though.
They could use it instead of the Ump Cam (in the NFL), just for recording. Better yet, Head Referees would not need replay booths. After every play, they can get video feeds showing the play again.
It could be used to give a personal view of things, when worn by contestants in reality shows

VR glasses which you can see through, to get a realistic view of your own body (and so you don't run into walls).

The prez thought this was a threat!

Why doesn't anybody just put a zillion mp3 files on a CD, instead using a normal audio CD?
