... this is nothing more than trying to keep the population dumb and uninformed.
All the teens in China's Internet cafes just play multiplayer games. I was still in China when this law was made. The whole point is to prevent the children from spending all their time gaming and getting porn. The law was made due to the complains of the parents.
Please, don't related everything in China to serious politics. People living in China live just like people living in US (except they don't have as much money).
students get arrested just for entering key phrases like "taiwan", "human rights" and "democracy" into google
I'm wondering where did you get such info? I didn't think I could get arrested by entering these keywords to google when I was back in China as a student. There isn't a Patriot Act there.
I read the story in a Chinese website. The major reason is indeed that the two technologies are not compatible. The new maglev line cannot be incorporate into the existing network (the line between Beijing and Shanghai connects more than 20 major lines in the existing Chinese railway network). If they use maglev, they have to build separate stations for it. So many people have to go from a maglev station to a tranditional station to transfer trains, which defeats the benefits of having high-spead lines.
The wheel based line will still be faster than 300kmph.
This is just another biased view against China. I know quite a few Chinese sodiers. Their mental state is just as healthy and positive as anyone else could be. Some of them have children and family too. No one ever told me that they are forbidden from sex.
It seems that many Americans just think everyone else living outside north America is living in Hell.
If they really want to go to space, they should work closely with all of the other countries that have been doing it for a while. Instead of fighting, we should all work together on a common goal.
But who is fight a war right now? US or China.
I believe US wouldn't tell China its knowledge so that they can work together.
Given the fact that there are so many poor minorities and workers in US and so many black children cannot get good education they deserve. I'm sure the money could have been better spent than in Iraq. (You see Iraq people welcome US army, but remember it's on the US TV program. In Asia TV programs, that was another story.) Even building another space shuttle would be much better.

As I know, the 64-bit PCs have abandoned the old x86 instruction set (CISC, non-uniform, complex), and use a RISC instruction set, wich means shorter, simpler, faster, and every instruction has the same length. This report just said the contrary.
well, just like the US could have spend the money and lives elsewhere better than Iraq.
You're saying "if a person's math is not good enough, he/she shouldn't be playing soccer." That doesn't make sense to me.

I've read lots of comments on slashdot these days. Many people seem to be holding a biased view. Don't just believe whatever your US medias and Bush (and his Daddy) said. Go there yourself, and see what it is like. I lived in China 22 years and just left there one year ago, so i believe I know better than most people here.
Many people might think China is just reinventing the wheel and repeating what has be done 40 years ago. But the real problem is, would US ever give China "the wheel", if they don't do it themselves? When Linus release the very first version of Linux, I believe there were people thinking he was reinventing the wheel, too.

But they didn't mention if it also enables users to become full participants in company-wide worm spreading, which is the most expected feature.

This argument is just to justify the hardware requirement of Longhorn.
The Chinese government censor public forums, but they don't censor your instant messages to your gf.
The NSA has an oracle machine (find in an alian ship) which can solve any NP-Complete problem in O(log(n)) ...
Try search for adult. So these are not adult content?
I hope some one will port Gentoo portage or debian to be used with the WindowsXP kernel ...
I always thought "Intel Inside" was a warning label. And I always think "Designed for Microsoft Windows" is a warning of incompatibility.
And is there a convincing reason for some developers to spend a few years of their valuable time making yet another relational database?
You wouldn't want wine to sued out of existence because it contains code derived from a proprietary, copywritten system.
The developers can learn some of the windows internals from the code, which does not mean copying code from it.
74% .... The dark side of the force is always more seductive and apparently stronger ....
Not really, I like Naboo very much.

I thought ATF was Anti-Terrorism Force...
make me feel old too. I thought it was there only 5 or 6 years.

Forget about Japen. China waived Japan's war refund for WW2.
It's a waste/misuse of computing power to simulate nuclear weapon experiment.
