AAAARGH why is it that sometimes people are so incredibly ignorant?! Yes, we got the whole below-sea-level-thing to work. We had a lot of time to do so. We invested a lot of effort and money. Hey, it all worked out, yay.
That does NOT mean that it's feasible everywhere else, and to suggest is is, well, REALLY REALLY WRONG.
Yes, because the IT experts in China are all complete retards and they have never heard of SSH/Tor/whatever... no only us smart people from the west know and understand about these tools...
Have you considered that China probably knows about every method mentioned in the responses and probably some more? It's likely that they've decided that things like ssh filtering are too hard, or that they're not really worth the hassle, or that the prototype of their new ssh-block-o-tronic (made from the souls of dead puppies) is simply not quite ready yet (but will be any week now).
I seriously doubt any response here is going to contribute to their firewall and you're probably way too paranoia.
Those corporations provide the money that makes the US military, that provides the protections to the widow, possible. The arrogant bitch could learn to be more grateful.

That would be horrible! I try to leave that horrible language behind me AND IT HAUNTS MEEEE!
> How is it different than providing a phone number to report crime?
Because it's more like requiring every phone to have a button that reports the person you're speaking to to the police. Providing a phone number to report crime is like the police creating a website where people can report crime. Oh darn, they probably do that already!
> Nobody ever talks about the Dutch trading company
I'm Dutch and yes, we do. And sure, it may have been a little evil... but it's kinda awesome what this tiny country has accomplished at sea. Still, all people involved are long dead and there's no point whining about it now.
But anyway, this stuff does get covered during history at schools and it's not some version where the Dutch were angels.
That was not moving the goal posts. The goal was to show that violence is not inherently bad. GGP was the one moving the goalposts by suggesting it must be shown that violence is good. It seems GP identified this false dichotomy ('if it's not bad, it must be good') and he offered another option ('sometimes stuff (such as violence) is neither good nor bad').
Agreed, this works perfectly. In a room with no other lights I can easily dim my laptop screen as far as it goes (short of turning it off, ofc...) without problems.
+2 Interesting? What? Intuition is in your brain, not in your abdomen. If in some situation you have a 'bad feeling' in your guts it is either because your brain figured something out and is making you feel nervous, or because you are infected with some disease or ate something bad. It is NOT because some mysterious second or third nervous system that is located in your abdomen has used its magical powers of intuition and is making your spider sense tingle.

How about I mod him up, you mod him down, then it'll all average out...
Terrorist? How do you know he didn't get fragged? :p

Look mom I can make a lousy argument too!

Wow, that diagram was actually really informative. In hindsight it's amazingly obvious :D
Elaida, is that you?!

That doesn't make sense, how will people reproduce?!
Except that in theory, you can lie about your real name.

I spend some time reading their policies, those people are scary! :O
I got a 34, I guess this means I will be more successful than you :p

I changed my settings to always fetch the whole discussion an once. Browsing at -1 is way more fun anyway.
Oh no! And we were so looking forward to this! :(

I fail to see what you are trying to say. What do you mean by 'some things'?

netcat is my hammer!
For those who want to try this at home:
echo -e 'GET / HTTP/1.1\nHost: slashdot.org\n\n' | nc slashdot.org 80 | grep -E 'X\-(Fry|Leena|Bender)'
I never knew! That is so awesome :D
