correct me if I'm wrong, but the whole meme concept is flawed in my book, a meme is just another name for culture. Why to people make new names for old concepts.

I'm also in China, Shanghai as well and my understanding is that all KTV(karaoke in a private room), bars and all shops relating to physical entertainment related will be shut. Not the internet, and what I saw about this entertainment ban, its for morning for 3 days, and they said nothing about the TV, but its been pretty much 24/7 quake coverage on every channel the last few nights.
I live in China(I'm an Australian), and according to the locals(and some expats I know) the rule is 10% of your product(depending what it is, but it must be a percent) MUST be sold domestically, thats why you see so much stuff here. The parent companies used to just consider it the cost of making the products and in the past, didn't worry about marketing them. These days its slightly different as all the parent companies are actively promoting their products domestically, but many a Chinese national made his first million by selling that 10% with a nice markup.
Of course thats over simplified, but thats how it is.
Isn't it funny that the USA was complaining to everyone about the effects of space junk from such a thing, and yet here they are doing it. I does certainly smack of I'm as good as you!
Thats funny, Windows 64-bit was the reason I went from dual boot to a full Linux(Ubuntu) install, I couldn't download anything with IE or firefox, not to mention the fact that nothing worked, and I bought Windows 64-bit "pro"... what a joke. I installed Ubuntu used automatix and everything was working in an hour... I could use WOW and counters-strike easy(after wine install which was quick).... no problems, also when i needed wireless it was already working..
I live in China and I can say that CD-R disks aren't that expensive, quite cheap actually, and that there is more Linux adoption than you'd think, I'd say its used little bit more than in Australia. I would also say that I haven't noticed any Chinese websites not working with Firefox 2.0, although their English versions are always total cop outs. Also I haven't seen any windows 98 CD's anywhere, heaps of Windows XP, for next to nothing, I would also say that there are so many game players here that WindowsXP is the primary system, I have yet to see a single install of Vista(on a used machine not a test machine in a shop, although that too is rare). Internet cafes were a surprise for me, I thought that they would all be windows, but of the few I've been to, half had some Linux machines, mostly running World of Warcraft or Counter-Strike. Also in the server field I have yet to see a single version of any Windows Server products, they've all been Linux. Of course the above is all I have seen, and may not hold true else where!:D

Shit the Bord are real....
Damn that was a good game
The funny thing is that that site is blocked, at least in Shanghai!
Same in Shanghai, China, I mean why would you block china.... oh right...um carry on...
This strikes me as more of a linux drivers issue, maybe you should submit it to the linux drivers project.
who wants to use ms office anyway... you have to pay for it, just use OpenOffice, its free!
I'm also in Shanghai and cannot access it! :( oh well there go my contributions for a while! :(
I thought I'd have a look, but no it wouldn't install go figure.
