I hardly think that meddling by foreign corporations is going to start a peoples' revolution. They already had one in China, and it's still in effect today. The Chinese, given their history, look dimly upon foreign attempts to influence their government or their culture.
Nothing...I'm in China, and I have an unencryped no-caching squid proxy set in the US. Hit any blocked sites (Voice of America, BBC News, etc), just hit F12-x in Opera, and continue.
Actually, I use it more for overcoming the slowness of "the internet" here. Go figure, it's faster to go to a box in the US and relay from there than it is to go there directly. Wee.
So...news.google.com, not the main engine, is being talked about here. And the articles not being shown are the ones that wouldn't show up anyway. And this is only for Chinese-language search. Yeah, Voice of America (voanews.com) is definitely blocked, BBC News too. I'm in China...other than a few news sites it's rare I get blocked, and when I do, I just use a regular squid proxy to get by.
Doing no evil doesn't necessarily mean Google has to be the progressive cause for change," Li said. "(In China), they are saying, 'This is the law of the land, and there is nothing we can do to change it.'"
There is zero legitimate usage to the South Seas islands. They have the distinction of being the most expensive places to call on the planet, with the single exception of calling a ship at sea. I used to work with fraud control of a major carrier, and nobody had ever ONCE seen a legitimate call to one of these places (Vanuatu, Niue Island, etc). It's all scams and phone sex.
Interesting but somewhat oblique story

Voided the warranty? Nah, just get another one of those sealing stickers. Assuming that's what they use, no idea really, just wanted to relate this story.
Fella I know is an exporter in China. One time, they were exporting sunglasses. My friend wants to know, do these have UV protective coatings? After several confused back-and-forths through the translator, the Chinese factory rep finally lights up, and says, "Yes! We have sticker!"
I'd liken it more to eating good resturaunt food as opposed to making it yourself. Sure, it's "better", but it's a lot more trouble, and like you say, it's more of an emotional thing rather than a quality issue.
You can't listen to both sides of the same album. I know there were double discs that had parts 1 and 4 on one disc, and sides 2 and 3 on the other, so you just sat them down on the player, and you only had to flip the stack once to listen to the whole thing.
Still, gotta like how the arm works, robot thing and all.
There's no pops and scratches on CDs. When you listen to a record, there's always noise in the background. Especially at the beginning of the record, or the space between songs where there's no music.
CDs skip, they ain't perfect, but let's not get nostalgic here. Records are obsolete for a reason. Anyone make a six-disc record player? Heck, you have to flip the thing to hear the other side. Sure, at one time that was interesting, having two "sides" to an album, but that day has passed. I can burn my own CDs, but if I want to listen to a particular track on a record player, I have to hunt down where the gaps are to place the needle.
Personally, I think the first version that's released should be v1.0. All of this "using v0.2934.d.342.beta" crap is freaking stupid. *cough* Firefox *cough*.
Yes, I understand "it's not ready yet". If people are downloading it and using it, it's ready.

Relatively *benign* mercury? Hg, the toxic liquid metal?
What is this metadata? How do I read it? Is there a program out there? I have some old photos that I really want to analyze more.
No, all home users have the version of Photoshop that they downloaded :-D
Could you please fit more buzzwords into your posts?
People who use this will have it bought for them by their companies, anyway.

Has there ever been a single post by a Canadian on Slashdot that doesn't go on and on about how Canada rules and USA sucks? I'm serious, now.
Besides, if you had legit usage it would show up on your bill in previous months, and the computer would score it low.

True story.
"A New Hope"? I must have missed that one. Was it a big movie? Was it bigger than Star Wars?
Most of the guys like that I know are pretty together. Maybe it's the parochial, isolated city dewellers who find that to be "cognitive dissonance".
Yeah, there are exactly 4 real posts. The rest are clowning around about how they heard /bin/sh was a unix shell.
Didn't people like you protest and shout when Clinton "liberated" Bosnia from the Serbs?

As an aside, lie. Exaggerate the damages, get the FBI in. The worst that can happen is you revise the damage estimate downward later.
