Geeks In Asia Use Clever Hacks To Get Slashdot

Daedius writes "My comrade Hugh Perkins is living in Asia and he has been without reliable internet connectivity for many days. He uses l33t hacks to get his daily dose of Slashdot in desperate times." From the posting: "The Taiwan earthquake has brought telecommunications in the Taiwan/Hong Kong region to a standstill. I am living in Shenzhen and am unable to read Slashdot directly for several days. Gmail and Google have privileged bandwidth and local servers and both continue to work perfectly from the region. Could there be some way to use Google or Gmail to read Slashdot? A solution was to upload an executable to my web hosting in America that would receive zipped executables by email, execute them, then email me the results."

    Maybe the best solution would be for the rest of the free world to start putting a little more pressure on China to not be quite so heavy with the censorship. I mean, they've got to sell their cheap goods somewhere right? And it might be a good opportunity for the "free" nations of the world to show that they do actually support liberty around the world. We hear a lot of lip service to that effect here at home, so how about putting our money where our mouth is? I'm willing to pay an extra few bucks for my, well, my everything, so that geeks in China can get /. too. Why should they be spared?
