“It is Bush’s fault!!” ..grow up already.

If a Judge has refused to allow these nitwits to have connectivity, perhaps there just might be a reason?

Why are people blaming the BIA, the president or anyone in the government when it is the judges choice?
Excuse me but I thought judges were part of government? Something like the Judicial Branch or something similiar.

Rather Dashing is basically correct. There is a lot of sad history behind this situation.

How about you tell why these idiots aren’t allowed on the internet!?! How about saying that all of the computers/printers/servers were available at publicly accessible IP addresses (without firewalls too) and that they blew 1/2 of a billion dollars in gov’t money instead of fixing it. Or that they were warned that this would happen. Where’s the reporting about their flagrant misuse of the funds that were supposed to go to the aforementioned problem?

If they have a phone line, they have access to the internet, at least for the purposes of Googling “Plymouth Rock”.

Downloading movies in HD from iTunes? Well, it won’t work so well for that…

FYI, its does render cropped on the right in firefox, but only if you’ve increased the text display size in the browser (CTRL +)

‘janice’s issue is likely that she’s using firefox. the page doesn’t render properly in that browser, just in IE.’

Looks fine in Firefox, IE and Opera. It must be an issue local to janice’s machine.

I use Firefox and I’m not seeing any problems.

By the way, it appears that this article was written by an amateur! Don’t take that negatively, but use it as a tool to better your work!
