In particular, they passed a resolution favoring the passage of a law regulating computer work at home. . . . Of course, it is unclear what the extent of such a law would be, but it would definitely effect all those solitary hackers putting out nifty utilities for PC's as a profitable hobby. In this case, hacker does = criminal; someone could be prosecuted for programming at home just like the knitters in New England. (-:) FLAME!!! What!? They're all conspiring to keep us stuck in rush hour! Work at home? They'll haul me off to jail! (Please officer I was just playing Rogue! NOOOOOooooooaaaaaauuugh....) -- (This mind accidently left blank.)
