I did some forensic analysis after Googling for the website.

They check for browser spoofing and the specifically only support browser that match these strings :

Win (netscape|firefox|Microsoft)

Mac (safari)

It appears they do not even support Netscape, Firefox or Explorer on
Macs.

Ah crap. I was really looking forward to filling out the census online.
Now I'm going to have to torture myself and fire up WinME in VMware.


FWIW, I'm able to access the site with Firefox version 1.5.0.3 for Linux
by;

1.) Using the extension, "User Agent Switcher 0.6.8" & setting it to
    "Internet Explorer 6 (Windows XP)".

2.) Setting "network.http.sendRefererHeader" to 0 (zero) in about:config
    Note, the default setting is 2.

3.) Enabling cookies/java script. I usually keep these two disabled ;-)

As always, YMMV.

Regards to you also :-))

But is there a place at the end to complain and to rub it in their face that Linux will work even if they don't want it to?
