Around The World In 1 Year (On A Website) 86
chrischoo writes "From the guys who brought you a crushing experience, Tsunamii.Net and Fragnetics are working on taking the Tsunamii.Net website around the world by obtaining webhosting services in 44 countries. Known as alpha 3.8 Translocation, it is commissioned by the Walker Arts Center. The website is now on it's second stop in Malaysia. Our teams need the help of the Slashdot community to plot a traceroute for each server we visit. Traceroutes are plotted onto a world map which is refreshed every time the website stops at a new server in a different geographical location. Our next stops include Thailand and Myanmar. It'll be great if we have more people willing to sponsor a webserver from your country to host one of the Tsunamii stopovers!"

If you're referring to Canada's geographic centre, that would be Boumfouque, Saskatchewan. Moron.

How did this get moderated to +1 Informative? For one thing the geographical center of Canada is Brandon, Manitoba. For another, don't be sarcastic when moderating...there's not much evidence for people to see your sarcasm...for I am assuming the moderator was being sarcastic with that moderation of +1 Informative. + FUNNY, yes I can see that.

In a nutshell, "they no like internet".
Yes it's true. I travelled through Myanmar(aka Burma) for several weeks, and the parent poster is right on.
One thing that I found really interesting, there were only 2 places in the country where I could use my credit card. The national bank in rangoon, and mandalay. That's right, 2 places in the entire country that accept credit cards in order to withdraw funds. Not exactly the most modern of countries.
I stayed with a group of buddhist monks for a week, and they were absolutely astounded when I showed them a US dollar. US currency is outlawed there, as the government controls exchange and tourism. Kinda creepy, rough place to live.
