Can anyone confirm this S.314 thing? It sounds an awful lot like the "modem tax" and other urban legends.
I wrote a post to comp.org.eff.talk in which I asked if "S.314" isn't just the "Pi Bill," in which pi = 3.14 is mandated to be pi = 3.00. S.314 I initially, for a minute or so, thought to be a put-on, a spoof. But the text lacked other signs of humor and had the trappings of a real bill. And then versions from reputable groups began to appear, so I was of course convinced it was real. If it's a spoof, it's too cute by half. --Tim May -- .......................................................................... Timothy C.
