It's a shame they didn't learn from their last attempt at building a wall:).
I feel sympathy for those who are stuck with repressive governments, but what China has is probably a hell of a lot better than what they would have if their house of cards fell like the Soviet Union.
I wish the Chinese government the best of luck in suppressing the spread of "dissident" information. They'll need it;).
Diane Feinstein at least reads her email (I got a personal reply from her this week), Sen. Boxter doesn't seem to want to respond to anything.
Still trying to get something through to Rep. Honda, although I have no idea how he will respond.
Actually, it doesn't surprise me that they don't make it available. If they release that information, they lose an edge they have on joe average as an entry level computer user. How many times have you talked to someone who wanted to show you something that was on the 'internet' and in reality, it was something that was on a section of AOL?
Step 3: Let's give them tools and have them fight our war for us. Call CNN and let them know about these freedom fighters
Step 4: Hmmmm, they aren't useful to us anymore. Better call CNN and tell them to start calling them bad people again. At least we know who they are now.
Even as a White American Imperialist I caught the wisdom comment.
It figures that a Limey would mouth such racist bullpucky!;)
Eastern civ is different from the west, but was sophisticated even before the Europeans had barely crawled out of their caves (so to speak).
Corporations are law-abiding? , *giggle*, *guffaw*.
Maybe for the laws they get created.
Jeez, I hope you were trolling or speaking tongue-in-cheek.
Actually, if you wanted to, you could write English/German/French/Spanish using Chinese!
It would actually be fairly simple, one Chinese character == one English word.
Just have the display program figure it out, ie translate the Unicode Chinese into the English/French/etc..
Achieve instant 50% or greater data compression.
It's the perfect compression solution for us bandwidth-sucking Westerners!
No verb tense or plurals? Don't need it! It's all fluff anyway!
I'm only 1/4 joking...

What do you call the siege of Iraq? Do you think anyone important to Hussein is going to starve?
Wow, this sounds like our foreign policy.
