CNN.COM, Sports Illustrated, CBS News, and the others work fine with linux. My advice, just don't do foxnews. |

I did write my email then and they wrote back, basically said they were not planning to change their format. I guess if enough wrote they might change their mind. Apparently they don't care if they loose Internet viewers. Rich |

(or they're being paid off) They are not targeting people with enough intelligence to run Linux. Its suh a vanishingly small percentage of people who might be interesteted in them it is no worth bothering with. "Dirty Digger" Murdoch is very much a lowest common factor man. [..] |

As I said in the spin-off thread in the Ubuntu group: The point is not whether or not Fox News is worth viewing to you or anyone else. The point is they *are* a major news organization and they *should* be operating system indifferent. I think ignoring these problems at large organizations like Fox News is the wrong approach for us in the Linux community. Those that agree with my assertion will help by contacting these types of sites and letting our voices be heard. Gene (e-mail: gene \a\t eracc \d\o\t com) |
