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.
