Heh, I suppose you have a point, Louis, but it's the precedent. If this gets shot down before it ever becomes law, it will discourage, at least, any other similar laws. The point isn't really wether it could work (I doubt any real kind of 'control' could be forced onto computers), but rather what it would mean if it became law.

Hi. Noticed you added me, thought I'd come take a look. :)

Did you do the lookup on this bill? It died in committee about 18 months ago.

Hey. Yeah, I added you -- when Kincaid was around, I'd seen you on her Journal, and I remember you being interesting enough there, so I thought, "what the hell."
Please excuse the mess. -laughs-

And, no, I'm afraid I didn't do a lookup. -laughs- Seems my way to be behind the times; thanks for the update.
