Maybe I'm too thick to see it, but aren't things like Flash and Plug-ins a type of privilege? You don't have to have them but if you want and extra "treat" you can use them.

Denying someone view of a certain site because of the software they use is a virtual "civil-rights" movement waiting to happen.

Maybe I'm on my way to troll town but this how I see it.

Re:wal-mart shelves?

On: Newest Mandrake Linux Delayed

That's funny...

I have a friend who was employed in the "electronics" department at Wal-Fart.
While stocking shelves one day, a co-slave looked at him and said

"What the H*LL is this [the Mandrake box]."

My friend attempted to explain

"So it's like Windows. Isn't that illegal."

My friend now works at Pizza-Hut.

If you don't know about the ATA(see above) go to www.eff.com. Read everything you can and write your representatives!

1. I pray for two things
2. That the horrible civil violations proposed in this act are not made into laws.
3. That Dmitry does not become the St.Steven of the ATA.

With a heightened public fear of words like encryption and the h-word it's going to be hard to find a good jury.
