Brilliant. Send X% of your users away just because YOU don't like their choice of browser. When I'm over in Windows and I run into one of these sites, I just go elsewhere to find what I want. I don't have Firefox in Win and don't care to install it. If that means someone doesn't want me to visit their site, screw'em.
>Wow, a bill that solves none of the many real problems with the patent system. > Who votes for these fools?
You and me.
To return to one of my favorite themes: Never, ever vote for an incumbent politician. Even if he's "your guy" and you think he's done a wonderful job. It doesn't matter - the founding fathers never meant for the country to be run by a bunch of self-serving, entrenched, power brokers.
Yeah, it'll create other issues - maybe your town won't get that $5,000,000 road improvement grant. But take solace in knowing that you're currently getting hosed in other ways to offset the pork barrel money that you do get.
