  1. Funny how whenever Malaysia shows up in the news.. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Malaysian Government Offers Free E-mail To All Citizens

    it's always something that makes you go hmm...

    Reading TFA, I noticed the fine print about the charge for using emails. A good site to get an opinion on what a great email provider the government will be there is http://www.malaysiakini.com/ It's a pay-to-view site, but the update on the article "Tricubes to charge 50 sen per email, confirms CEO" says it all: Users will be expected to pay if they want more 'secure' emails.

    I'm just thinking it'd be like the Chinese government offering free classes on human rights or peaceful demonstrations :-)

  2. What about Malaysia ? by rawkphish · · Score: 1 · on AMD To Close Plants, Lay off 2300, Lose Gateway
    Malaysia is really taking a hit. Japan seems to be pulling out of Malaysia and investing more in China. I spent about 3 months going all over Malaysia this past year. Very interesting place. Everyone speaks English, good education, strong support of tech by the government. Penang is having a really hard go of it though since it is tied to manufacturing and tourism, 2 areas that are not doing so well right now.

    Things they lack, free press , free speech, free beer... Hardly any Linux developers there! Seems to be a few years behind the US, no PHP people, few Perl developers. They are still on the MSCE wagon train and taking VB classes.

    I am impressed with Putrajaya though, 10 gigabit fiber to the home and wireless access points all over town ! Too bad there is no place to eat there though.. Too far from KL also, hard to get people to work in the MSC .

    I am moving there in a few months & getting married to a girl I met on CU-SeeMe :) Wish me luck.

  11. 802.11a smaller, faster, better by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Wireless LAN Encryption Standard Broken
    really what you need to do is skip 802.11b entirely and go straight to 802.11a. Atheros is really rocking in this space, amazing speeds, 54-72 Mbs per second and much more secure. Proxim and TDK will be rolling it out in about a month !

    speaking of security, I HACKED THIS ASIAN PORN SITE, ENJOY!!!

  13. I'm Malaysian technical issue by sebol · · Score: 1 · on Online Politics - Will it Work?
    I think most political dont care about technical issue, ppl who care about it is ppl who are sarround it.

    In My country , current Prime Ministor (DR.M) was invite Microsoft and Bill Gates personally to join MSC, Multimedia Super coridor.

    He want malaysian to be IT literated, BUT i think his definition about IT is "windows". And by inviting M$ to join MSC, then malaysian can be computer literated.

    I totally disagree with him, not just because of the Anwar Ibrahim Case. A lot of people hate him because of this case, and lead toward "reformasi"

    Back to technical political issue, Malayian Current government has lack of awareness about the danger of inviting M$ to the MSC. Mahathir want the technology, Bill can give technology but, it make the whole country depend on M$:(

    Malaysian can live with monopoly. wierd huh ? Back to past year , the privatiation of Telecom Dept create a big monopoly of telecommunication buiness to "Telekom Malaysia Berhad". people seem like dont care.

    And Next, microsoft.

    After the monopolist of primier media and the alternative front/oppoition cant use the media. the oppoition have to use the internet just to inform about their press statement, and other event.

    name like

    Pemantau

    Laman Reformasi

    MalaysiaKini

    Harakahdaily

    Jiwa Merdeka

    Become common,

    But it wont solve the problem. The Geek still need what the geek need. If the government change, it wont help much.

    Does The alternative front alert , microsoft want to invade the country? the answer is Yes And No.

    one of most popular opposition media on the net (harakahdaily.com), using ".asf" do deliver it's webtv. And i dont know why. Everybody know asf is totally M$ propriety format, (case)

    Bill Will Happy, event if the gov changes, he still can be supported.

    But there are a litle bit releaf, when some of top Reformasi website use linux as publishing engine. Linux User , vote for anwar :)
