pfft..... how much luck have Sony had sueing those manufacturers out of existence? not much
China and some other Asian countries have become the "land of the free" when it comes to mods and other legally questionable devices. Several changes to hardware just means it's better for business as they get charge higher prices for each new version released.

The 202.97.x.x address pool seem to be the ones blocking traffic from the various tracerts I have done to blocked sites...... foreign search engines in general seem to be acting "weird" from China now - access comes and goes....
nah.... even with IP address being used in the query I still get time outs - solved my problem though by using other NON-BLOCKED search engines that use Google as a back end:)
ah.... the good ol days.... I did something similar to my 486DX50 so I too could DOOM. I remember even Quake test running on that PC though at an unplayable speed..... much like Win95 as well;)

The trace never makes it to the last step (23) of 64.28.67.150 (Slashdot) due to a firewall it seems:)
"Also, as far as the blocking of Playboy and other sex sites goes, any country where you can walk into a bar and have two prostitutes sitting on your lap within 5 minutes (no joke) has far more serious moral issues to deal with than a few internet sex sites. Enough said."
thats because lao wai's are so much "better equipped"..... or thats what I tell my Chinese wife:D
perhaps it would be more useful if they ACTUALLY came to China to do this testing instead of relying on the "average netizen" that appears "informed" if they can press a button.
heh..... if a mainland person wants pr0n, they go to HK do do some VCD/DVD/magazine shopping at the corner store - just like the mainland but with pr0n instead of the usual warez:)
Slashdot Mirror
but for some odd reason, Intel Museum and many other history sites refer to it as 5MHz

I wonder if we will see mods for the mods for the new Xbox :)

Altavista has never loaded for me since I came to China..... thought it was blocked too - even BabelFish has stopped working a couple of months ago :(
;)
Metacrawler works but I found some other unblocked sites that use Google as a backend for searching
- HeXa
nah.... even with IP address being used in the query I still get time outs - solved my problem though by using other NON-BLOCKED search engines that use Google as a back end :)
- HeXa
They HAVE blocked Google..... well I gather they have coz I haven't been able to access it for a couple of days now...
Yam still works for now.... anyone know a bookie taking bets on how long it lasts?
- HeXa
sure you aren't looking at the SMR release of FOTR.....
- HeXa
Bush just wants to make Iraq another state of the USA so he can can free oil.....
- HeXa
this is GOOGLE being blocked !!!!
Most Chinese I know use it a lot and so do I..... I have no idea what to use now.... whats the 2nd best search engine?
- HeXa
Turns out I still cannot use Google even with the IP addresses.... searches just time out :(
- HeXa
ah.... the good ol days.... I did something similar to my 486DX50 so I too could DOOM. I remember even Quake test running on that PC though at an unplayable speed..... much like Win95 as well ;)

The IP address work fine to access Google - thanks for the, solves my googling problem
Perhaps it is a DNS problem resolving google.com, I will try again tomorrow and see if the name works yet.

quick summary of major blocked sites....
CNN
BBC
Geocities

perhaps it would be more useful if they ACTUALLY came to China to do this testing instead of relying on the "average netizen" that appears "informed" if they can press a button.

sourceforge is wierd.... sometimes it is blocked and sometimes its not.... or particular subsites are/are not.
... not like its hard to proxy around the restrictions though ;)
- HeXa
Online pr0n in China is still VERY easy to access..... um..... so I have been told ;)
- HeXa
heh..... if a mainland person wants pr0n, they go to HK do do some VCD/DVD/magazine shopping at the corner store - just like the mainland but with pr0n instead of the usual warez:)

I'm in China and I can view it fine.
