ATI cards suck? That much is obvious. I made a permanent switch to NVIDIA after I had 3 cards from ATI in a row (top of the line for their era, each) and had serious issues with framerate stability and texture glitches. The final straw was when the official AMD driver for Linux caused a kernel panic. I switched to NVIDIA and have been a happier gamer and a happier Linux enthusiast.
For the ~communist~ (read totalitarian hellhole) rulers in that country it will be easy. They own the network and can monitor all traffic with ease and locating rogue connections would be trivially easy. Combine that with Chinese style filtering on steroids and you can keep denying your people basic human rights for the forseeable future.
North Korea is an inexcusable mess of a country that wouldn't even exist today without China's external backing. China actually disagrees with North Korea's policies, but the *idea* of communism (even though NK's implementation is the worst on Earth) still holds a lot of patriotic sway in China (being the only successful communist country). I personally can't wait for NK to actually do something stupid so China drops their support (do you really think China wants to be involved in some kind of war because the "ally" they babysit is misbehaving, hell no!) and that little country collapses in on itself.
Typically communist countries are enthralled in the idea of advancing technology almost to the point of obsession, but unless you count failing to implement 50 year old missile technology North Korea doesn't exactly make strides here (although they'll claim to have put men on the moon before the USA and have broken warp 5 barrier if you asked them, no doubt). North Korea is just a sad little excuse of a country. God forbid that they might have access to modern technology and be able to communicate with each other, then they might figure out how deeply broken their country is. Yet another day in "communist" paradise.
That's dumb and you know it, it's understood that a desktop includes a keyboard at minimum as a component. When they start selling you tablets with no screen let me know.
You said the magic work so many times: reading. Try to use a tablet for software development, graphic design, creating 3d models, writing a story, creating a presentation, mixing down audio and / or video, or crunching numbers in a spreadsheet. Touchscreens so far are terrible at these things, you'll want a mouse and keyboard (at least a keyboard).
