Wired on Defeating the Olympics Censorship
An anonymous reader writes "As discussed on Slashdot recently, Internet footage of Olympics events are being censored for US citizens. Wired.com is covering the issue in a recent story, discussing ways of defeating these measures. Duane Wessels, developer of the Squid caching proxy, and Len Sassaman, Mixmaster anonymity software author, are interviewed. Are they correct? Is geolocation content censorship impossible?"
FIZZ POST
We call it 'Fanatical Support'.
Seriously, that's like the gayest ad ever.
"Wow, this semi-hot geek-like girl [with glasses!] is telling me to buy rackmount's services! I believe I WILL DO IT"
You just got on my friends list.
Repeal the 17th Amendment TODAY! Also Please Read http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/right-to-read.html
No, you merely have to affirm that you don't own a television.
...
Thank God for that, what kind of _evil_ person would dare to own a _television_ without submitting to the jackbooted thugs of the BBC
Those dangerous members of society need to be locked up for the good of the BBC !
* Please don't write "& etc." You see, the ampersand is actually a ligature of "et" (the common Latin word for "and"). "Etc." is an abbreviation for "et cetera," which is Latin for "and such" (basically). Instead, you could write &c or &ca, which are older ligatures for "etc." (I prefer &c myself).*
I know, I just don't care. it's 'figure of internet speak' to write '& etc'.
Anyhow, register in. and nobody would understand if you used &ca whereas writing '& etc' is standard fare. besides, english sucks for language nazis as anyone can always claim that there's a form of english where you're supposed to do things different(indeed, indian dialect/spelling being the most popular).
please write such things as logged in too, it's not like anyones karma couldnt take the occasional beating.

well I've seen dozens of people do it, every day.
and I haven't seen &c used in any publication during the time I've been able to read english(14 years), nor was it ever taught to us in school(during the ~10 years I read english at school as the primary foreign language).
Britain and Ireland hardly make up a significant amount of worlds english speaking people anymore(and really, seems like they don't bother learning their own language either).

If you're thrown in jail for criticizing President Bush, that's censorshp. That is not what's happening here.
Actually, you clearly have your head buried in the sand. That is exactly what is happenning here.
People *are* being put in jail for criticizing Bush.
That is censorship, and it is fascism at work. Please wake up.
To all the republicans who think that a gay person getting to a gay person will destroy their concept of marriage..... Hey at least it isn't George Bush W. getting married to his vacuum sweeper, his 3 cats, his dog, and his new microwave. Hey ya one person marrying someone they love and want to spend the rest of their live with.... OMG THISDESTROYINSTITUSTIONMARRIAGE.
