F5 Network's 3DNS product, which we use can distribute traffic geographically depending on which datacenter you want certain countries to go to. www.f5.com has information on how it works. We use it to send certain countries to our Asia-Pac datacenter if the user is in China, Japan, etc.
Hey guys. I believe this is becoming a lot more possible, but on the DNS level. I work for F5 networks that makes a product called 3DNS that acts as a smart load balancing DNS server. You can set the balancing mode to the topology load balancing mode which has most of the CIDR blocks in the world hard coded into the code and you can tell the 3DNS what to do with requests coming from certain Continents, or countries. Right now, they're about 98% accurate on continents and about 93% accurate on countries and its getting better every release. You can also code in any subnet range or local DNS server you know and tell it how to specifically handle those requests.
Remember though, this is based on the client's Local DNS server, so if someone in Florida is using a Local DNS server in California, we're going to treat them like they're in California, but I haven't seen anything much better than this.
Many customers user this to server different continents different content without having to ask them where they're coming from.
Companies like Yahoo could use this to block or allow content from certain countries for the olympics.

I could see why they would be upset to the point that they'd fire you. You're the person that knows second most in the company. They don't have to deal with the hassle of bringing someone new in and having you train them forever to learn all of the intricasies that you know already. If you work for a company, they'd also like to think that you are doing your work to better the companies position in whatever it is that they do, so taking that position would accomplish this. Don't view this as a bad deal where you have to deal with corporate politics etc., view this as an opportunity to make changes in that which you disagree with. Take the challenge, be bold and you'll be more confident in yourself and your abilities.
Wouldn't you agree that articles and experiments like this only prove more and more that there in fact is some sort of god. The fact that it took scientists years of research to create a bacterium shows that life cannot just spontaneously be created, but rather, it takes some sort of being ( in this case, a scientist) to create life from nothing. In the beginning of time, that scientist happened to be God. Science contradicts itself in reinforcing the big bang theory while having numerous laws of physics and science that say that spontaneous generation of life is impossible.
