that is just fucking bullshit. if Obama's email was hacked and published, the entire internet including slashdot would want the hacker's head off. well, at least NOBODY would argue that one year is too many.

we are not hearing any apologies from Al Gore.

If you lose your library card, that's human error.

If you lose a nuclear strike card, we need a new term.

two interacting magnets still have energy lost and converted to heat.

all frictions are electromagnetic on microscopic level anyway.

slashdot just can't stay out of politics. must find some dirt on the whore. she is a whore, of course.

Why? Because the Internet was created by "the government", is regulated by "the government", and subsidized by "the government".

in a dictatorship country, that's the reason given by the ruler to control all media.

So Fox is obligated to provide service to anybody, no matter how much the compensation is?

How about slashdot runs my ads for free? Please don't discriminate me just because I don't want to pay your price.

So you are a loser, just like I said. Florida is too expensive for you?

These losers act like American experts to Chinese, and Chinese experts to Americans. No, you are nothing in both cases.

If you guys need to justify why it is such a wonderful place to live, be my guest, and welcome. But don't you fucking tell us, that there is no problem for Chinese to access information we are discussing in this thread, and that Baidu has no problem in searching Liu's info.

well Asshole to you too, asshole. If an American living in China thinks he can generalize what Chinese people want, I find no problem generalizing what kind of person he is. This is based on thousands of stories I've heard over many years.

We are never short of Americans sympathizing with communist governments. Some of you are even in our textbooks, proving how communist party is loved by the entire world. Well, to these Americans, fuck you.

OK, I was really pissed by his lies that there is no problem in accessing information in China regarding Liu's Nobel Prize.

That's the main issue here.

Interestingly, that doesn't piss you off. IT IS FAR WORSE that I guesstimated his personal life, than that he is totally lying on behalf of a totalitarian government.

Why is that, my dear Chinese comrade?

Baidu Search is not censored, so you can search for "liu Xiaobo" "nobel peace prize" without problem,

The only thing you can find there, is one canned response from Chinese government.

Other results are about different Liu Xiaobo - it's a very common name in China.

Google has done the right thing, it's better to display nothing, than to display the only thing approved by the authority.

Same thing, here. I'm in my apartment in Shanghai, reading this and the two source articles, no problem at all. I think this is probably a little overblown in coverage, it's not as restrictive as most think. In fact, Netflix and Hulu are more restrictive (including have a blocked list of US proxies) than most of China, and that includes the China Telecom DSL I'm using right now.

Maybe I was mistaken, and I took idiocy as malice.

Yep. Chinese people log on to slashdot to read news.

I said these people are losers from their own western countries. I was correct.

I didn't see any liberals defending or downplaying the evil regime of George W Bush.

Thank you for proving my point. Yep. Chinese Community Party is at least better than George W Bush.

Yep.

Why don't you see it as criticizing the problems in the west rather than endorsement of the problems in the east?

the problem is, *every time*, I do mean *every time*, an issue comes up, these people always say, meh, it's not worse than what's happening here. By doing this, every time, they are effectively helping the evil.

It's not like you are lacking the opportunities of criticizing your own problems.

Because there's absolutely no money to be made in China. There's no history or culture to explore in China. There's no opportunity in China except to bang Chinese chicks.

Statistically, most of them are losers in their own country, and they move China to become somebody. The only skills they have is their native languages which is in demand in China, and their foreign faces, which can be rented. Because they really represent the lower class of western people, they aren't helping China western relation.

Moving to china to enjoy its history and culture? please hippie.

If I'm guilty of judging someone based on the group he is belong to, at least I am quoting the correct statistics, unlike his.
