Waxman recovered, mustered an additional 111 words about how it's technologically feasible for Websites to screen users by age, when Justice Sandra Day O'Connor interrupted. "Does that technology require use of something called cgi?" she asked, referring to a complex protocol for changing what users see on a Web page.
