FEMA to Mac, Linux users: Drop Dead
The list of bureaucratic idiocies continues to astound.
Via Boing Boing.A stupid usability flaw in the FEMA website is causing frustration for some of the Hurricane Katrina survivors fortunate enough to have computer and internet access. Bottom line: if you're not using Windows + IE, it appears that you won't be able to file a disaster assistance claim on Fema.gov.
[...and an update later]
Good news! Hurricane survivors who've lost everything, but who've managed to obtain access to a connected Mac or Linux workstation, MIGHT be able to file claims at Fema.gov IF they install some fancy schmantzy hypergalactic extensions to their browsermajiggie thing.
