And yes, many Chinese believe that the censorship is good for them, or at least that is what they say, I though have never heard a Russian say the same.
In 2008, suicide claimed 38,406 lives in Russia.[22] With a rate of 27.1 suicides per 100,000 people, Russia has one of the highest suicide rates in the world, although it has been steadily decreasing since it peaked at around 40 per 100,000 in the mid-late 90s,[23] including a 30% drop from 2001 to 2006. In 2007 about 22% of all suicides were committed by people aged 40â"49, and almost six times as many Russian males commit suicide than females.[24] Heavy alcohol use is a significant factor in the suicide rate, with an estimated half of all suicides a result of alcohol abuse. This is evident by the fact that Russia's suicide rate since the mid-90s has declined along-side per capita alcohol consumption, despite the economic crises since then; alcohol consumption is more of a factor than economic conditions
However, this was a long time coming, there's a lot of stuff coming out of there that well is actually illegal there and in the rest of the world: hacking stuff, child porn, warez sites
The government has no intention of going after their side businesses.
Guy in Bar: See, there's three kinds of people: dicks, pussies, and assholes. Pussies think everyone can get along, and dicks just want to fuck all the time without thinking it through. But then you got your assholes, Chuck. And all the assholes want us to shit all over everything! So, pussies may get mad at dicks once in a while, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes, Chuck. And if they didn't fuck the assholes, you know what you'd get? You'd get your dick and your pussy all covered in shit!
Well, TFA says that a poll taken in July when the law was passed, shows that the Russian people support the blacklist 62% to 16%. The Russian government seems to have the support of the people on this issue.
That's always been a danger of democracy: it's very easy for the population to vote away their freedom, but once gone, it's not so easy to get it back.
Yes, because polls are 100% accurate and never falsified to help those who have the power for the poll results to be falsified.
Russia is going back to a dictatorial government and the Russian population can do nothing about it.
As long as there are companies trying to reverse engineer the Chinese chips then if there is a backdoor, it will be found. If a backdoor is found it will be really damaging to their reputation.
It's one thing to be suspected of espionage, it is another thing altogether to be caught putting backdoors into their products.
With magnetic containment you end up using too much electricity to contain the reaction for it to be worthwhile and it isn't sensible to contain the reaction with a solid material due to the pressures and energies involved.
Until we can start using artificial gravity to compress and contain the fusion reaction it will not be economically feasible considering some of the alternatives such as thorium salt reactors.
Even when fusion is up and running, it won't be some magical free source of power like fission power was sold to be. It will still involve really advanced technologies that need to be balanced just so. One might get more energy than what was put in, but operating costs are going to be rather extreme.
It might be better for the environment and cheaper to operate than a uranium nuclear reactor, but the operating costs will not compare favorably against thorium reactors.

The main question I have is Why does it need internet access? And that is not answered.
Fine, I googled it, lots of hits, take your pick.
russian falsified polls.
I found this one rather entertaining.

If even the elections are rigged, are you going to believe a random poll in the media?
Actually it was more so that polls are almost exclusively bullshit was the claim. You are the one that made it out to be Russian polls in particular
In that case put forth proof that it is valid.
Right now it is my word against your and you are nothing but an Anonymous Coward.
Now although there is are some poll numbers in this article, I'm linking this article for it's other content.

Russia has had a bad suicide problem, but it is getting better.

Ok, so this is a geeknet story submitted by a geeknet employee.
Why make it look like a user submitted the article?
Not that it actually matters.
Just because a people have been subjugated that does not mean they want to be subjugated.
Also the length of subjugation doesn't determine if those subjugated want freedom or not.
If you were locked in prison would you want someone else saying that you don't want out because you have been there X number of years?

As is the question of any evidence of the possible validity of the poll mentioned in TFA.
You cannot say one way or the other if it is or is not valid, that is one of the biggest problems with polls.
There are Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics.
Polls are Statistics.
If you read a story about a poll in China where 90% or more of the Chinese people support censorship would you believe the poll?
I find all polls suspect, some more than others.

Because we all hoped that Russia would stop being backwards, and here we have Russia taking backwards to a whole other level.
The Russian people had a chance at freedom, but they lost it.

Large aircraft need a dense power source.
Or to be lighter than air, though being lighter than air on demand would be nice.
Hardware keyboards are getting more rare on phones.
My wife just picked herself up one of these though, and damn it is nice. Almost makes me want to replace my HTC G2.

It just doesn't add up.
With magnetic containment you end up using too much electricity to contain the reaction for it to be worthwhile and it isn't sensible to contain the reaction with a solid material due to the pressures and energies involved.
Until we can start using artificial gravity to compress and contain the fusion reaction it will not be economically feasible considering some of the alternatives such as thorium salt reactors.
What it can't do is pass a charging station.
Even when fusion is up and running, it won't be some magical free source of power like fission power was sold to be. It will still involve really advanced technologies that need to be balanced just so. One might get more energy than what was put in, but operating costs are going to be rather extreme.
It might be better for the environment and cheaper to operate than a uranium nuclear reactor, but the operating costs will not compare favorably against thorium reactors.
