Having a hard time using 32 bit plugins in a 64 bit web browser is a completely different issue that would not at all be solved by fat executables. What would solve this issue is if 64 bit versions of those plugins existed in the first place. Using binaries from older or other arcitectures (old PowerPC binaries) is not what this is about at all.

That you don't understand this indicates that you really don't understand what this is all about at all.

The Americans With Disabilities Act was written so loosely that there are so many of these litigious bullshitteries going on nation wide. It is basically a form of extortion facilitated by poorly written 'laws'.

We need reform on the ADA as soon as possible! Locally, a predatory woman has sued over 80 local businesses (this is her JOB now), represented by a lawyer who has sued over 250.

I hope sony lobbies to get reform.

I say all of this with the great respect for the disabled and the true intent of the ADA. It is the exploit of the act that bothers me so much.

In this case, Sony makes visual video games and a guy who can't see thinks Sony OWES him a game. That's like being allergic to peanut butter and suing Reeses for not making you a hazelnut cup. THEY DONT OWE YOU A HAZELNUT CUP!

It's on my home computer as my primary OS, next to Windows XP for anything else that I am forced to use by third parties. It is indeed embarassing... If anything it could be just a lazy guy who did this...

I mean come on... Hackers 3 is a fictional movie. Microsoft didn't swap NT with Linux in Windows 7 or anything, or used Plasma for their desktop... _'

I'm posting from my PC, tethered to my cell phone, so I'm getting a kick out of these replies...
Live waaaay out in the boonies, surrounded by evergreen trees
At&T (or are they cingular again?)
HTC tilt via the "hidden" internet conection sharing & usb (winmo & windows xp (yeah, I know - boo, hiss!)) - standard internet plan
13 dBi antenna from ebay (cellgear-usa)
Went from 30-60kbps & 650+ ping, to minimum 150kbps(edge max) & 2-300 ping, popping up to 1.5mbps(3G) occasionally. On their advice, added a pizza pan as a ground plane(fiberglass motorhome). Goes 3G more often, but still not all the time. I'm going to get a longer cable & mount it up in a tree...
