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."

But what do I know. I'm just looking for anonymous gay sex.
Have you ever seen asian languages on a computer screen or cell phones? Or in some cases count the characters in their alphabet system assuming they have any?
For any asian countries to excel with computers, the technology has to be directly compatible with their everyday dialect. The complexities are far greater than the ASCII alphabet set of any latin-based languages.
It's too bad neither North Korea nor South Korea have any oil reserves. If they did, we could work something out for them, but as it is, it ain't worth our trouble or interest.
Word to the wise: if you're a 3rd world shithole getting threatened by another 3rd world shithole, you are better off spending all of your time searching for oil in your little shithole of a country.
Or you could just be cursed with the "toofdless limey bastid" disease. Socialist dental care does not equal broadband.
Fellow Americans, before we embrace Korea too much, we must remember that they are part of the axis of evil. As all of you undoubtedly know from watching the news, we believe they already have several nuclear weapons, and they are currently working on developing more.
Many American lives have been killed by the Koreans, and if we don't stop Korea now with diplomacy or force if need be, there will certainly be more bloodshed in the near future.
They are a rogue state, and while it may be true that when people may think of Korea, they think great Starcraft/Warcraft players, cell phones, and cheap cars, we must remember that they are a dicatatorship lead by a megalomaniac leader, Kim Jong Il, who wants to see the downfall of the West.
We must view Korea as the threat and enemy to global peace like they are, and we should not be glorifying them by posting stories like this on Slashdot!
Thank you.

President, United States of America
