Russia is a Democracy last time I checked, elections with opposition party's, am elected head of state and legislature and an operating legal system. Flawed, broken, but not down or out - it's in a very close approximation to most of the major democracy's around the world.
Yes I read the news, do you think that a bad leadership is the only measure of Democracy?
"we think we have the God given right to change it" How about leaving God out of it, these are the affairs of men.
"China has it's laws and their citizens have to obey those laws, just as we must obey the laws in our own country" Except and unless those laws are wrong, then we and they have an obligation to change or violate them. You won't see a change though unless someone is willing to violate them.
"Giving the average Chinese citizen the ability to circumvent those laws is not doing them a service since the Chinese government turns dissidents into organ doners."
The call of the coward, until they know they could be (and others are) made organ donors for merely reading something they will become organ donors in ignorance.
This tool is not the problem, the government of China is.
All people have a right to knowledge, it's the basis of a free society (not a God based theocracy, or a Godless Communist State).
CGIProxy requires a server and is not stand alone PsiPhon is supposed to be installable on any PC connected to the internet in an uncensored country. Plug and go, if we ever see it. I suspect that liablity lawyers have gotten in the way at UofT.
"despite the best efforts of fascist governments like those of China, Germany and the USA"
Excuse me, could you deliver a USA example while you hide behind your A/C moniker?
I agree that nearly every government in the world imposes some sort of censorship in some form of communication, I wouldn't put the de and us in the same boat as China.
(and yes every pun and innuendo in that statement was intentional).
And that's really what you think? Promote a Dec. 1 release and then wait until 23:59 to "build suspense"? It's already Dec. 2 in much of the world that it's intended to help.
Number 2 is not correct since midnight they've added FAQ's and news but still no download-ables.
So you're wrong on both counts Dec. 1 is over and they have updated the site.
The U.S.S.R. would still exist today if it hadn't been for all those folks "hiding" behind fax machines, getting the word out. Vision and Courage are great but they don't exist without information.
There. Somebody had to say it. No download links anywhere, not for source code or executable on any platform. Until the product actually exists "in the wild", China and the University of Parinoia have nothing to fear but enthusiasm.
I appreciate the idea behind PSIPHON and the PR, but until there's a PRODUCT any discussion is just jaw flapping, not discussion of PSIPHON.
If only it were true that Oracle had no experience they would look better. But they do and it's a dismal record. Manager that are foolish enough to make the move to Oracle Enterprise Linux are putting their bets on a bum OS horse.
2. I could live elsewhere, lots of elsewhere's - but if America goes as bad as it could there won't be an elsewhere that matters, being there would be as bad as being here, at least here I know the country at an inimate level.
This is my home and I fought for it there, and I'll fight and even die for it here if need be, I won't be driven out by neofacists that hide behind veils of false piety and false flag waving.
If the rest of the world finds us a danger to them, thay have the same rights any nation does to protect themselves.
The human need to hack will win out every time. Augmen (Augmented Humans) stand a good chance of being overloaded, or dumbed down by the joining, and AI will never fully surpass the gift of human stupidity which has been the springboard for many of the advancements in history.

But when you start casually using this kind of thing in an article for no fucking good reason at all it's a sign of the endtimes.
The endtimes for slashdot that is.
There's a method for moderating comments, but I think it's long past time that VA/slashdot gave us a means for moderating the goddamned articles themselves.
You aren't. The article isn't decpetive, it's just that slashdotters are so used to seeing articles on cool case mods that when we hear case we assume it's a mod or DOJ or SCO.
The failure of 9/11 and WMD in Iraq was one of management, not intelligence.
The intel was there in both cases, but management faile (for whatever reason) to make proper use of it.
As for CIA secrets and who is responsible for keeping them secret, there is only one anser - the CIA and people directly entrusted with those secrets.
If you make it the job of reporters or civilian search engines to keep state secrets then you make the state a sloppy pig that relies on enforcement rather than actually keeping secrets.
Someone said 'we' used to call the CIA 'The Company' - no so, folks in the CIA used to call it 'The Company'... Did we just see a fool out himself?
Agency folks have always been known to have obtuse views.
Until now no one could have been concerned about protecting a habitat for an animal that had in been wiped out - would have never been known. It sound pretty compelling to most thinking people.

You and Lindsey ignore the events of 1993.
Wouldn't preventing the transfer of filtering software, in itself be a form of censorship?

Not quite just a Proxy.
Looking at the December 13th, 2004 Psiphon Final Report by Patrick Smith and Jeffrey Jia of Department
of Computer Science University Of Toronto (found it with Google, it's a PDF) reveals that Psiphon is
Python based and compiled into a stand alone cross platform GUI application that ANYONE can install and run.
IF they ever release it, Psiphon will amount to a personal https proxy, nothing new until we know the real details.
Stay on track, and get informed Lindsey.
You're letting your ideology interfere with your thinking.
The revolution itself required the communication for those folks you claim had very little to do with it.
The "collapse" is a separate issue from the communications that were required for the people who made the changes in government.
Fax machines did not collapse the USSR, but they made the change one that swung towards a form of Democracy instead of another totalitarian regime.
Like the printing press in the American Revolution.

There's one stupid thread for the books
"As opposed to RHAT who just tells me it's the app's fault, or that it's fixed in the next release which isn't yet certified for my apps."
Redhat Linux where if you really need it fixed, you can fix it, or pay a 3rd party to, or go to the community.
Unlike Oracle, MSFT, SUN, need I go on?
You're not getting anything from Oracle for free and your not going to be able to pay for anything real from them either.
RHAT provides real value back to the customer and to the community - unlike ORCL.
If only it were true that Oracle had no experience they would look better.
But they do and it's a dismal record.
Manager that are foolish enough to make the move to Oracle Enterprise Linux are putting their bets on a bum OS horse.

Agreed, this is a broken DNS not a better DNS
Correct a "a machine that performs tasks without direct human control, based on its own sensor inputs" would define an automaton, not a robot.
Unrelated, the EV-1 wasn't killed by checkout clerks or anything like them.

This is what happens when you do not enforce anti-trust penalties.
The exact same behavior MSFT took against builders who used DRDOS.
