Our government has 0 authority to tell private companies who their customers can and cannot be.

Still, this creates a cache-22. This would essentially bar US companies from competing in markets like China, which are huge. So would this put our companies at a long-term disadvantage? Perhaps this law makes more sense if it applies to *ANY* company that operates in the US. --- Puryear IT, LLC - Baton Rouge, LA - http://www.puryear-it.com/ Active Directory Integration : Web & Enterprise Single Sign-On Identity and Access Management : Linux/UNIX technologies Download our free ebook "Best Practices for Linux and UNIX Servers" http://www.puryear-it.com/pubs/linux-unix-best-practices/ ________________________________ Hotmail: Free, trusted and rich email service.
