It wasn't "control of the internet". It was letting the division of the UN that manages telephone connections between countries manage the distribution of country-code TLDs. But facts aren't important to US internet jingoists.
That isn't part of the Constitution. Martial law things like that should be unConstitutional but with our current Court there's not much of a chance we'll actually see it declared as such.
Actually, our escape clause requires a declared war which is by definition temporary, and only extends to one freedom that must be returned. However, enforcement of the Constitution requires use of the judiciary and that is why Bush is allowed to shit all over our Constitution.
Although its complete absence from the first page is disturbing, there is a partial rationalization for it: Tiananmen Square has thousands of years of significance in Chinese culture and the protest is only one facet of it.
But seriously, when I saw that quote I immediately thought of the Chinese ambassador's quote in the SG-1 episode "Disclosure": "The government of China does not believe in keeping secrets from its people!" Although the full (probably only partially intended) commentary that can be drawn from that quote is deeper than the simple denialism that can be drawn from this one.
The "Caesar" Jesus was talking about wasn't Gaius Julius--that one died 40 or so years before Jesus was born.* It was Augustus.
*We know Caesar died on 44 BCE. We don't know when Jesus was born although most modern estimates are around 5-6 BCE.
No, sanctions against Saddam didn't work because Saddam didn't care about his populace. The only significant time sanctions worked, South Africa, was against a nation whose "priveleged" segment(the segment that the government "likes"--in the case of Iraq and NK it's the governmental party, in the case of South Africa it was the 10% minority of whites) was large enough that the sanctions affected them.

They have the Infinite Featureless Plane of Death.
I had a LEGO Star Wars set and I had no trouble using its pieces to make other things. Perhaps this is user error?

There is one difference. In China they admit there's only one party. (The one party in the United States is called the Incumbents.)
What would you consider the Paris Commune of the early French Revolution? I think it's the closest we've come, and it ended due to an attack.
With respect to 1984 and the UK, I can only say two words: Airstrip One. That's all that are really needed.
Nothing bad happened to the student because of the camera. There are no deaths on camera.
Hmmm...which FOSS personality looks different every time we see him?

The Star Wars sets have one good feature: They helped facilitate the Star Wars storyline in Irregular Webcomic.
Indeed.

Haskell has much better design.
PHP has...no redeeming features.
As a Dalek, I think you mean their stage three is EX-TER-MI-NATE!

No, half of France did. Half of France kept fighting, although de Gaulle had to flee to England.

I use RSS more than spell checking. And I don't use RSS. I spell just fine without a spell checker.
Slashdot is already owned by VA or OSTG or whatever it's called this week.
You know, a slow drive towards authoritarianism would be an interesting plotline for a TV show.
