Just in case you're still not convinced FEMA has their head up their...

They are just making it too easy to beat up on them:

...another reason not to buy a Mac.

Seriously though, how much would it cost to make the program work for other OSs?

I forgot to mention that Linux users are paranoid, corporate-hating, anarchists bent on pirating DVDs and circumventing copyrights.

Well, no. Let me give a little context. The GNU/Linux movement is strongly against the principle of copyrights and especially DRM. And when DVD encryption came out, it made watching DVDs on a Linux OS inpossible, until DVD Jon, some Scandinavian kid, came out and broke the encryptiion just so he watch movies on his computer.

He was tried, twice, for piracy, beat the rap, twice. Was sued, beat the rap. So, the R/MPAA pretty much thinks that way of Linux users.

Oh, and as far as the new photoshop, I'm sure there's a torrent out there for it.

Speaking of FEMA..

Quote:
Who is running FEMA

He worked for the International Arabian Horse Association; he was the commissionaire of judges and stewards. What he did was oversee the horse judges for 11 years. FYI, he was asked to resign from the horse place, or he will be fired. Absolutely nothing to do with any sort of disaster preparedness / recovery. This is the man Bush has put your life in, feel safe?

He is the most qualified of the people at the top at FEMA. From ThinkProgress.org

The Chief of Staff is a guy named Patrick Rhode. He planned events for President Bush’s campaign. Rhode has no emergency management experience whatsoever. From Rhode’s official bio:

His first position with the Bush Administration was as special assistant to the President and deputy director of National Advance Operations, a position he assumed in January 2001. Previously, Mr. Rhode served as deputy director of National Advance Operations for the George W. Bush Presidential Campaign, in Austin, Texas.


The Deputy Chief of Staff is Scott Morris. He was a press flak for Bush’s presidential campaign. Previously, he worked for the company that produced Bush’s campaign commercials. He also has no emergency management experience. From Morris’s official bio:

Mr. Morris was also the marketing director for the world’s leading provider of e-business applications software in California, and worked for Maverick Media in Austin, Texas as a media strategist for the George W. Bush for President primary campaign and the Bush-Cheney 2000 campaign.

But seriously though, the article makes a good point at the end, that since the FEMA site is Windows only, the relief workers have to buy windows licenses for each workstation (I wonder how much water and food each license fee could provide) and can't use some of the donated hardware.

It's not that hard to make a standards compliant web app folks.

Why all this complaining? I'm sure Bill Gates made some nice campaign contributions

There's ways around that stuff. I've seen lots of sites that won't let me access them with anything but IE6 on Windows, but Mozilla has ways around that. They work nicely.

Edit: The internet thinks I'm using IE6, btw.
