Someone already changed the password.
Now if only they could just figure out how to feed their people :-(
I look forward to open, unbiased communication free of propoganda or heresay.

Oooh.. let's see just how much bandwidth the north koreans have.

KCNA, the NK "news" agensy has had a website for years in Japan. It is under the JP TLD, and the new one is under the NET TLD.
KCNA functions as the spokesperson for the DPKR, the state of North Korea. Probably the least independent news agency in the world, Fox News included.
Click "One Country":
Kinda figures.
I believe posters are recognized by their sig. So I made one.
It's a funny thing : BugMeNot (still haven't installed this Firefox extension ?) already works with this website...
War doesn't prove who's right, just who's left.

Here's an interesting article about a man's experiences when he went into North Korea, in case anyone's wondering what's really going on in there.
All the cool nerds already have North Korean webmail.

Wanted to let you know that we've got a shitload of big new missles. I hope everybody shows up to watch the army goose-step in front of them. Show up, it'll be a blast. And if you don't you'll be shot.

Pyongyang, March 21 (KCNA) -- A seminar on the revolutionary exploits of President Kim Il Sung was held on March 16 by the FUNCINPEC Party of Cambodia on the occasion of the Day of the Sun. Sun Chantol, deputy secretary general of the FUNCINPEC Party of Cambodia, stressed at the seminar that Generalissimo Kim Il Sung is a genius of idea and leadership and founded the great Juche idea and turned the country into a powerful one, independent, self-sufficient, and self-reliant in national defence. He noted that Korea had the two wars against Japan and U.S., but the Korean people became the heroic people through these wars. Noting that the Korean people successfully built the country on the debris after the cease-fire to make the country shine in the world, he said this is a great exploit of Kim Il Sung. He stressed that Kim Il Sung had the close relation with Norodom Sihanouk, king of Cambodia, and gave the boundless love to him when the king was in difficulty. He noted that the cause of Kim Il Sung is carried forward by Marshal Kim Jong Il with credit today. -0-

I was amazed initially - I thought "Linux really is everywhere" - until I realised that Microsoft probably doesn't have any branches in North Korea! That's one country where there won't be too many IIS servers!
In 1999 a german Doctor gained the confidence of the regime. Getting behind the 70ies-kitschy facade, he came back to report on the oppression and poverty.
Google will find you lots of interviews about his experiences.
Any sufficiently advanced libertarian utopia is indistinguishable from government.
They mention Linux, so its alright:
"KCC regards it as its immediate target to reach the world level and to be competent in the world market in a few years in development of Linux-based operating system and applications, computer-aided high technology and services with its own core technology."

it is really similar
SHE does throw dice.
North Korea's first web site, and you try to welcome them with a slashdotting? Should do wonders for US-North Korean relations!
BTW, why's the site in English?
John Kerry is a Joke!
When I look at this website it reminds me of how much good the US has done around the world. If it wasn't for us there would not be a North Korea. There wouldn't be a South Korea either for that matter because the whole damned peninsula would be under the lead boot of a communist dictatorship. The DPRK should stand as a reminder of just how much evil there is in the world, and just how easily that evil can prevail.
It is because of us that South Korea is free, and God willing one of these days we'll bring freedom to ALL of Korea.

The American war of agression against the Japs is what caused the rise of communism among the natives in China and Korea in the first place.
Exerpted from the top-selling title:
DISTORTION OF US PROVOCATION OF KOREAN WAR
PREFACE
Since June 25, 2000, the 50th year since their unleashing the Korean War, the United States has been bent on grossly distorting the history of the war and will continue to do so until 2003, with a sinister aim to shift the blame for their war, the blame for their aggression, onto the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
Holy #&$@ing shit, what a bunch of nutballs!
Oh - and what's going to happen in 2003? This yankee imperialist running dog of capitalism wants to know!
There are others that have been around a while, this one seems to be set up by an expat group, but this one claims to be the official site of the DPRK government. Check the Welcome from Kim Jong-Il.

Kim Jong Il has a weblog.
For a nice little tour of N. Korea, you might visit the report at hrnk.org
A national policy of starvation, overwork, and torture. Newborns murdered on grounds of suspected genetic diversity. Imprisonment of three generation of an offender's family. A lifetime political prisoner population of 200,000 - more than all the US military in Iraq; more than all the people in a small industrial city.
Claudia Rosette wrote a column when the report was released.
If anyone had bothered to scratch the surface of this site a little, you would soon realise that this is a dummy spoof site set up and run by a German businessman who uses it as a "sweetener" to get computing business in North Korea (which is illegal under UN sanctions, I believe).
He claims he is going to wire up North Korea via satellite - bul*shit!
If you really want to provide your personal details to an unscrupulous German, then feel free - you must really like spam.
It really does not deserve any further attention, other than to say "nice marketing ploy fella".

That's it, I'm moving to North Korea. Look what their constitution says:
Article 71
Citizens have the right to relaxation. This right is ensured by the establishment of the working hours, the provision of holidays, paid leave, accommodation at health resorts and holiday homes at State expense and by a growing network of cultural facilities.
Don't slashdot North Korea! They've probably never been slashdotted, don't know what to expect. What if they think it's cyberterrorism and launch some of their missles?!? I hear some of those suckers are nuclear (or might be before long)! You guys want to start World War III or something?

I meant that "communism, at least, is based on noble principles", of course.
Nice little political stunt... Today is Constitution Day for South Korea.
I really like this part :
Generalissmo Kim Il Sung was the
greatest revolutionary and stateman.Indeed he emerged
as the elder statesman figure of the international
communist and revolutionary movement in the late 80s
and early 1990s when some miserable trairors had
flung down the red battle standard of the glorious
communist movement.Comrade Kim Il Sung ensured that
Peoples Korea marched along the road of independence
and socialism and rallied the world revolutionary
forces with the famous PYONGYANG DECLARATION.

Am I the only one who finds it strange that the pages with the N. Korean constutition repeatedly praise a single individual? As screwed up as the United States is right now, (I liked the days with a Democratic president and a Republican Congress, government was so busy bitching at each other they left me and the American people alone. :) At least my constution begins with "We the People...." not "The Democratic People's Republic of Korea is the socialist motherland of Juche which has applied the idea and leadership of the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung." This makes me happy I am in a first world industrialized nation.

“Wait for Hurd if you want something real” –Linus
Butterfly and Cock
Once upon a time, there lived a bad-tempered cock in a village . He swaggered, saying that he was the strongest in the world.
Very often he pecked out and scratched the grain the villagers had grown by the sweat of their brow.
Probably for this reason, the frogs and grasshoppers thought he really had a matchless strength. They were so afraid of him that as soon as they saw him, they would make way for him or hide themselves.
Once a butterfly visited a flower garden. The cock came and jumbled up the beautiful flowers. The butterfly got angry.
"Why are you here and behaving like that?" shouted the butterfly and was ready to fight the cock. "Butterfly, you can't be a match of the strong cock. You'd better drop the idea of fighting." Saying this, his friends detained him. "We can't live in peace even a day if he's left alone," said the butterfly and flew off in spite of their advice. The cock stared at the butterfly for a good while. Drawing in a full breath he grumbled, "What an overbearing little thing! It seems he doesn't know that my claws are like..."
All of a sudden, a whirlwind rose with a snap. Up flew the butterfly like a feather, and the cock's golden stick was broken.
And the mad cock, with his big wings spread, flew into the sky to chase the butterfly, muttering: "Flutter you may, but no faster than the fly." With all his might, the butterfly flew to an ash tree and slipped through the branches. The cock was sure to catch the butterfly fluttering before his eyes, and flew on desperately. But he ran into the tree and was caught in the branches. The cock barely managed to get himself out after a hard struggle. By the time he was making to breathe, the butterfly had already alighted on his beak and tail several times.
"Jump you will, but no better than the flea." With these words the cock made another jump upon the butterfly. "Ouch!" The cock fell onto the ground with a painful cry. It was not before the dust had settled down that he managed to rise to his feet. Sitting on his crest, the butterfly laughed heartily. The cock lay on the ground, panting and goggling his eyes. Then, in an engaging voice, he said: "Oh, it's you, my cute butterfly. I have been taking all this trouble to look for you, because I'm so eager to hear you sing. Do come here and sing a song." "Why should I only sing a song for you, uncle cock?" said the butterfly and began to dance. "It's nice to see you dance, but I can't have a good look; you're a bit too far away." said the cock, crawling nearer and nearer to him.
He pounced upon the fluttering butterfly, but he was already flying downhill. Missing the butterfly, the cock was so mad that he scratched his chest. He fell upon the butterfly, only to throw himself into a pond with a splash.
The dandy cock looked so miserable, indeed. His dark red saw-like crest drooped and his bright coloured feathers were soaking wet.
The cock gasped in the water before he jumped up, grating his hooked bill fiercely.
The butterfly flew past a thornbush and a rock to the top of a high precipice. The chaser gathered his last strength and shot up into the blue sky after the butterfly.
However, the drenched cock fell headlong into the bottom of the precipice.
Thus the village was now free from the outrageous acts of the cock, and beautiful flowers came to bloom in the garden of butterflies.
Wait, What?

Chapter 1. Politics. Article 2
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea is a revolutionary State which has inherited the brilliant traditions formed during the glorious revolutionary struggle against the imperialist aggressors, in the struggle to achieve the liberation of the homeland and the freedom and well-being of the people.
What in the hell does article 2 actually accomplish? Sounds like an editorial. I guess I've been taking the US constitution for granted. I had no idea.

All hail North Korea! Welcome to the internet from your pals at SLASHDOT. We know that some people say you are not nice, but heck, Americans are EVIL. So welcome, welcome, welcome!

In that picture of the world at night, NK is almost pitch black while all around it are brightly lit, which leads me to believe they've got higher priorities than getting online.

I love this article on two Italian pizza makers commissioned to demonstrate regional Italian cooking in North Korea. What a screwed up system. http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Korea/DK21Dg03.html
Hmm, might have to update a few things with the IANA first though, see http://www.iana.org/root-whois/kp.htm.
Off-topic, but how'd a conservative government like North Korea get stuck with a top-level-domain that spells "K1ddy P0rn"????
Knowledge is how to play a game, intelligence is how to win, wisdom is knowing what game to play.
Does anybody know of a web site that showcases North Korean propaganda art and movies? The cornier the better.
After reading about their propaganda and 1 million+ person parades here, and this seeing this wicked awesome music video, I'm hungry for more.
WARNING: The linked music video makes frequent use of the "F-Bomb" - possible NSFW.

They didn't even have Kim Jong-il's hamburger recipe, I am pretty disappointed.
I couldn't find "American" or "United States" or anything else relating to that huge North American empire in their list of nationalities. So I guess today I'm French.

Since Bush intends to attack them before the elections.
Seven naval carrier groups heading now for the Taiwan Straits under the ostensible cover of "intimidating China over Taiwan". You don't need seven groups for that. It is acknowledged that two would be adequate or even four. You need seven because you want three to five to stay in the Straits to prevent the Chinese from entering the war while you need the rest to conduct stand-off air raids on NK. You can't get too close to NK because they have hundreds of MiGs and their airbases are so close to the south that they can engage within six minutes. And they are trained to swarm US aircraft to prevent stand-off missiles from dropping them. So you need lots of carriers that can stand-off and launch air raids to support the stealth bombers.
Flight of stealth bombers in South Korea for "training exercises for the next three or four months".
Entire infantry brigade - the backbone of the US "tripwire" in South Korea - moving rapidly out of the country, supposedly to Iraq. This follows up the moving south of all US troops from the DMZ to avoid being "wiped out in three hours" which is the estimate should the North invade the South.
The excuse for moving the troops out is "we need them in Iraq". The excuse for moving the troops back out of Iraq to Korea will be "we need them to fight the Koreans". Instead of losing the US military in Iraq to the massive national resistance which is building and which cannot be defeated militarily, Bush figures it's easier to start a hot war the US can actually win - even though Pentagon estimates are the US will lose fifty thousand US troops in the first ninety days of a war with NK.
State department officials telling Congress that the North now has EIGHT nuclear weapons, not TWO. Amazing - the North spent twenty years getting TWO, and now we say they have EIGHT in the last 20 months. Shades of Iraqi WMDS.
State department and Senators also claiming the justification for "regime change" in North Korea is Kim "can't feed his people". Shades of "Saddam gasses his own people".
Clinton is dragged out to say the North is a threat - although he is careful for Democratic political reasons not to endorse pre-emptive strikes.
Conclusion: Bush's October Surprise.
I predicted this a year ago when the announcement was made about moving the DMZ troops. Everybody knew what it meant. So here we go.

Actually the Finnish media is heavily concentrated into the hands of just a few owners. Yes, there is no censorship, state propaganda, or anything like that, but there really is no real discussion in the media about important current issues, such as whether Finland should join NATO or not. The owners of the media want the politicians to make closed cabinet decisions on these issues, which is why they rather shove their stupid Pop Idol shows on us.
I quess that this type of owner control is really a lot worse in the USA at least.
Anyhow, maybe i will one day work as a journalist again, so i will post as an anonymous coward.
I find it extremely interesting that the "We are one" section icon shows both North and South Korea. An ultra censored xenophobic communist nation and a worldly important capitalist nation? The only place in the world where the US still has to actively deploy soldiers to mediate is on their common border. Those two countries are totally different worlds. Man, talk about propoganda.
And we slashdot it!

South Korea may not be as free as you think. A few weeks ago, I was surprised to learn (from a friend of mine who is teaching English there) that the government was blocking access to a number of web sites, including blogs hosted at Blogger (a.k.a. BlogSpot) and TypePad (a.k.a blogs.com).
The Korea Times and other news sources reported that this was done to frustrate the distribution of videos depicting the decapitation of South Korean hostage Kim Sun-il. But you hardly need to point out to Slashdot readers that blocking entire domains like that entails a lot of "collateral damage". My friend in Korea, for example, was unable to read his own blog, which consists mostly of his poems.
I submitted this as a Your Rights Online story, but it was rejected for reasons I still don't understand. This is the kind of story that I depend on Slashdot to keep me apprised of.
Actually, the site is pretty funny. Let's see, when you register you can select the occupation of "soldier", something I have never seen before. But I guess when 70% of your population fits that label...
Or the page where they act as if Kim Il Sung is still alive (kind of). The guy died years ago and they are celebrating his 92nd birthday. The page says 1912-2004, as if they just recently decided to acknowledge his death.
I just picture the people who put the site together. "We're finished!" And then they were shot.
Looks like email will be located here...

It will say "fail_u" but you can still access the site.
Try logging in with usernames like 'admin' or 'dprk' and it is nice enough to tell you that it is an incorrect password.
Other usernames like 'cowboyneal' say unregistered ID!
I'll leave the ensuing dictionary attack as an exercise for those motivated politically or by sheer boredom.

I used to think the current leader of North Korea was a spoiled child and Stalin-like. Based on the site, North Korea's behavior takes on new light. It seems group think and Potemkin Village and divorced from reality are concepts that better apply. A long world tour would do the North Korean leadership a world of good.

" can't see the South Koreans loving the prospect of seeing their economy crumple to dust when they have to start providing for twenty two million new citizens with no first-world-economy skills."
I thought about that, but then what about Germany. Remember when they were two countries? Their economy did drop but it bounced back considerably. What are they? Number 3 or 4 economy of the world?
Unification would be a dandy idea only if it worked under a free regime. Since the collapse of the soviet union, this possibility has been left weaning.
Overall, Koreans want a united nation. China wants an ally, and Japan wants Korea to stay split. Korea has always been a land bridge of conflict and will continue to be so unless it gets major backing from the US.
Right now, Japan's the US biggest eastern ally. They're more likely to side with whatever Japan wants. I'd be interesting to see a democratic country exist between a communist and socialist.

(I don't have specific facts or figures to back up what I'm going to say, but I'd considered the German example as well and thought I'd indicate why I didn't mention it)
West German citizens effectively lost their pensions thanks to the merger. (I know a German girl who talks about being lied to by Kohl and other people named after species of cabbage) West Germans was made significantly poorer by the move, and the differences between the two nations was far less than it is now between North and South Korea. North Korea is a really sick country. West Germany was a comparatively more powerful economy than South Korea currently is.
I have no idea of populations. I suspect the ratio is about the same between the two examples (in favour of the parliamentary dictatorships over the commos).
Two areas where West Germany was helped by the merge (and which might work for Korea as well) were (1) increased stability as a result of lessened security risks and (2) new markets opened up by liberalisation. The markets opened up to SK would be smaller than became available to west germany, however.
