Re:This is not what we need nowIf you've followed this story, you'll see that there's as much, if not more anti-intellectualism on the pro-Hwang side as the anti. After the "discoveries" were announced, anyone who questioned the results was persecuted. The news show that exposed ethical violations was suspended due to public pressure, and the reporter received death threats. The Korean government poured millions into glorifying Hwang, and it became impossible for anyone to question the truth of the matter. Science was replaced by politics, wishful thinking, and lies. If anything this story is about how science came to be replaced by pseudo-science before anyone could notice.
There's an interesting interview with the reporter who uncovered the fraud in the Korea Herald. He makes the point that the scientific community really dropped the ball here, and it was journalism that had to clean up the mess.

Re:What about Red Flag?
Actually, I can answer my own question. According to this story from the Korea Herald, Red Flag will contributing knowledge, if not helping with the development:
"At ['a meeting of government officials and industry figures in Beijing on Saturday'], Chinese software company Red Flag Linux and its Japanese partner Miracle Linux presented the results of their joint efforts in developing 'Asianux,' software designed as a compatible open-source standard for Asia. Korean companies Hancom, Wow Linux and others also exchanged their knowledge with the overseas counterparts."
My only question..."Asianux"??

Re:The year of the Penguin
What a great little bit of social engineering Google is employing! All the positive exposure, especially from such a well respected source of information, is helping improve the image of the Open Source movement. Thanks to Google and Dennis for supporting the community.
Thank you to Google and have a great year! -
Nationalism or pride in local market...
I'm sick of hearing about korean pride.
They should take pride in being human, not korean.
Gotta love their movie quota system that demands 40% of all movies shown be korean...
America needs to implement a 40% of all movies must be foreign rule. What with Bush and all. -

Re:Korea and the Internet
Actually Korea has done a great deal in getting you online. The majority of the RAM used on computers now a days originate from Korea. Samsung is a Korean company. In addition, Korea is getting up there in terms of semiconductor manufacturing..

Not very spectrally efficient...
To really be deployable in an un-metered fashion with a reasonable business model, you need something much more spectrally efficient, like ArrayComm's i-BURST for high-speed data service. A recent demo in South Korea shows it working at 1 Mbit/s. Two of South Korea's big telcos, Hanaro and KT, are planning to roll it out next year some time. Remember that Korea is where CDMA got its start.
ArrayComm licensed some spectrum in Australia, where they plan to roll out a wireless broadband service in the major cities in just 5 MHz of TDD spectrum. It looks like recent FCC rule changes have made some national TDD spectrum licenses available in the U.S. as well
It uses IntelliCell spatial processing and spatial channels to get multiple users on the same spectrum, at the same time. I've been lucky enough to see the i-BURST system in action, and it looks pretty cool, is real, and actually works. There are other smart antenna companies as well that are working on broadband data products, but I don't think any of them are as far along as ArrayComm. -
The encryption threat!I couldn't make this up if I tried (from the Korea Herald):
Five nabbed on charges of spying for N.K.
The National Intelligence Service (NIS) announced yesterday that it
caught five people who allegedly established a pro-North Korean
underground revolutionary group in the South on Pyongyang's
instructions and worked for the Communist regime.
The five former student activists were given secret names by North
Korea, and were ordered by Pyongyang to spread North Korea's juche, or
self-reliance, ideology among South Korean citizens in preparation for
a "revolution in the South," the NIS said.
They sent reports to North Korea and received orders from Pyongyang
through the Hotmail Web-based e-mail service, the NIS said. -
Here's a mention of slashdotHere is a story about the stunt from the Korea Times, with a mention of you-know-who. Darn it, there must be a lot of nerds in Korea.
I also spotted this article about a "Hacker's Lab" that allows crackers to work their way up to something like a "black belt" in cracking, by undertaking a series of canned cracks. It might be cool, might be lame, but it's kind of funny.
