Content filtering really makes no difference for ordinary Chinese lives, just as banding CCTV's website or South Morning Post website in western countries make no real difference for westerners. People in China don't read CNN/BBC anyway.
We would rather concern about the turtle speed of "broadband" internet provided by ISPs. Construction of cyber infrastructure has a long way to go in China.
In my college, University of Science and Tech. of China, we have C, assembly and database courses required for every freshman. Optional courses in Mathematica and Latex are also available to all departments.
For what logic and from which part of my sentence you reach the conclusion "the value of freedom somehow diminishes the value of family". If you love your family more than your xbox, does they "somehow diminish" the value of your xbox?
From what kind of inspection you say there's only one note in Chinese society? I don't expect you go to China to hear our different voices there, for the same reason I didn't expect there are so many notes of shit in US before I came to the states from China.
You tell the foreign side of story. I will tell you from the Chinese side.
As a Chinese, I don't see any problem neither. As long as I buy tickets using my credit card, my info is already there. Ticket contain my name in DB is not a problem at all. We can tolerate some level of privacy violation for safty reason, just as Americans can tolerate tight security check in airport. Check in Chinese airpot is like a joke before recently for Olympics but we dont' think it has anything to do with freedom. We simply don't need such security level before Olympics.
Foreigners simply don't understand the way Chinese people do things --- we don't deem personal freedom in No.1 priority and there are many things more important to our value system such as family and social harmonious.
PS. I'm new to writing here so If someone tell me how to paragraphing I will appreciate much.
This post shows how easily the poster lose his/her reasoning capabilities. Do you really think it's necessary to contain all data in the tickets? Wouldn't it be more efficiency just containing an ID but storing all info in background DB?
Besides, not everything from your brain to your dick's size is necessary for identifying you as a terrorist. And, do you really think going to attend a easily-terrorist-targeted event like opening ceromony should be as anonymous as you can bash China on slashdot? Tell me why every time I need to take off my waist belt/shoes to US airport SA before boarding? and every time I have to leave my palm print scanned when entering US!
The logic of China keeping-troublemake-away using eticket is simply false. Who do you think will make more trouble? a tiny pixel with ticket in ten thousands of seets or athelitics in the ground without tickets?

or you can use 'pythonist' account:
ssh pythonist@x4100.unix-center.net
passwd: slashdotting
pls don't change the passwd
You can register an SSH account in a Unix machine located in China and try GFW by yourself

The same to you.
