Taking My Freedom With Me to China?
Solo Han asks: "I'm considering a move to China next year, and while I have just as many problems as y'all do with the government, I still like the freedoms afforded me, especially when it comes to access of information. Chinese citizens, however, do not have the same freedoms, as we are constantly reminded here on slash-o-dot. Pr0n, mp3z, and games aside, what are the things that those of you in the Celestial Kingdom know you cannot access, and specifically, what are the websites, search engines, news sites, and other sites that are classed as potentially 'dangerous' material? This brings me to my overall question: is the censorship that real, that hard to get around, and how do you do it? What methods and technologies are you aware of or use to circumvent the Great Firewall of China?"
Nothing for you to see here. Please move along.
Does that answer your question?
I think I'd rather get caught running drugs in Mexico and end up in a Mexican prison than attempt what you're suggesting and get caught.
> I'm considering a move to China next year.
Sorry, I stopped reading after that.. Good luck, you'll need it!
Must-not-watch TV!
No sir you are wrong. There is NO censorship here in China, none at all! Yes siree, everything is free and open. As we say here in Chi
You have a constitutionally protected right to be wrong, and I the right to ignore you.
What kind of problems? Did you sell military secrets to the Chinese?
Man is a slave because freedom is difficult, whereas slavery is easy.
Why do you think China has some of the best hackers in the world? The "necessity is the mother ...." comes to mind.
Gimme that booze you little pumpkin pie hair cutted freak!
Why don't you move to China and do all of those things while maintaining a blog of your adventure. Thus, if your blog suddenly disappears or is abandoned, then we will know for sure what happens in China when you do those things..
To help fit in when you go to China, I suggest you participate in one of their native religions. This will help you get along great in your new home.
Don't blame Durga. I voted for Centauri.
What methods and technologies are you aware of or use to circumvent the Great Firewall of China
I'd tell you, but then they'd have to kill me.

Do you like having your legs unbroken?
Yes actually, if they were broken I would very much like to unbreak them.
and dont use the people's explorer of internet. But i hear the chinese food there rocks (or as they call it there, 'food')
Just be sure to talk about Falun Gong wherever you go in China, and they'll love you.
"Somehow I don't think it's wise to do such circumvention if you want to stay there short-term/long-term/permanently."
Actually, that seems like one of the easiest ways to stay there permanently.
Better luch next time
Somehow I don't think it's wise to do such circumvention if you want to stay there short-term/long-term/permanently.
Then again, that might be just the way to stay there long-term/permanently.
I'm actually reading your post from China right now, and I'm not entirely sure what you're asking:
Do you really want to ... play ... a game. Are you a big fan of ... the ... general? Are you a big fan of ... Chinese? Do you like ... your legs?
I would highly recommend ... going to China. Their jails are ... nice.

Hello, I know it is possible to circumvent the Chinese Firewall and such, but exactly how do you do it? Who is your contact in the Network Administration Administration? Do you discuss these issues with other people inside the firewall? What are their names and do you know where they live? No, I am just curious. I do not work for the glorious and envied government of PRC.
considering slashdot is blocked by their great firewall, there sure isn't ANY "legal" readers from china

Wow man. That's like... Deep and stuff.
Puff another one and get back to gym before they realize you didn't go to the nurse.

Funny, that sounds like something one might hear on the first day in a prison shower. >:-0
Seriously, I've spent some time in the middle east, and internet access is curtailed there as well. However, it's mostly pr0n & gambling sites that get blocked; authorities there aren't as insecure as they are in China.

Aw, that sucks... 3 minutes late, and you don't get the extra "Funny" point... c'mon Mods... boost a brother up... he's just as funny, just a little, uh, slow. :)
>For the same reason why Europeans think we're a country of hicks driving around in a pickup with shotguns
:/
wtf? You dont do that?
I have been wrong all these years
Do you know what a peacekeeper is? duh... It's the word we use for "soldier we like". In other words, it's a variation on "yay for our side".
Don't forget Democracy -- sure, your war weariness increases, and you don't have nearly the control over diplomacy as with the other modes, but the economy boost makes it worthwhile if you have enough cities built. And if your civilization is Religious, you don't have to go through a period of anarchy to switch over.
Personally, though, I always choose Commercial and Industrious, which means I'm either the lowly French or the Carthaginians.
Thanks for speaking for the rest of the world. Are you its spokesman?
Yup. We appointed him last week.
