Cell Phones and Broadband 'Net Win in S. Korea
McLuhanesque writes "The Globe and Mail has an interesting column on how text messaging and the use of effective broadband internet content helped propel an obscure lawyer, Mr. Roh Moo-hyun, from a perpetual also-ran to become South Korea's new president. 'With the world's highest penetration of high-speed and mobile Internet services, South Korea is at the cutting edge of technology that is transforming the political system, making it more open and democratic. It could be a preview of the shape of Western democracy,' the article says."
Just someone has to tell the koreans that 86 hours straight is a little on the excessive side. Even if you are camping....
Be you Admins? nay, we are but lusers!

Maybe GWB should bribe the North Koreans with cell phones if they'll quit doing nuclear weapon shiznit. I'll start by donating my Nokia piece of crap!

oh.
You can't judge a book by the way it wears its hair.
Wow what a idiotic and misinformed post. Actually the Korean language is suited just fine for technology. There are 14 consonants and 10 vowels in the language for a total of 24 letters in the language. Compare that with 26 consonants and vowels in the english alphabet and it's not that bad at all.
Yesh. The US has fared so much better with our actors, former CIA henchmen, coke addicts, and peanut farmers.
You`re right about the food. I particularly liked the Korean Kentucky fried dog .
