    If Japanese websites were getting blocked, don't you think that the Japanese in question would be glad to see the Cambridge guys break the firewall?

    All of the Command and Conquer games except possibly Generals(aka only marginally C&C) run on Wine as well.

  4. Not a bug with tagging itself on Nerds Switching from Apple to Ubuntu? · · Score: 1

    Instead of "notfud" people should be using "!fud" which cancels out a "fud" tag. Perhaps "notfud" should be linked to "!fud"

    What is so "less evil" about sitting by and letting Yahoo and MSN censor the Chinese and not even tell the Chinese they're being censored?

    Okay, but my point still stands. "Innocent until proven guilty" doesn't mean that just because one has not been convicted one hasn't done the crime. The trial, by law, has to come after the crime. (When it comes before the crime, that's not the crime, the crime is plotting murder rather than murder)
