I woke up this morning, and accessed /. I received a "connection reset". After living in China to a few years, I know what that means. Slashdot is being blocked by "Golden Shield". I am in ShenZhen, anybody else being blocked?
Slashdot is a great place to keep track of the latest technology advances. Google is some times throttled. Many other technical sites are blocked just because they are on a blog site.
Is China cutting it throat learning about new technology?

Antarctica is a big continent, so mapping all of its ice flow isn't exactly a piece of cake.
But for the first time scientists have been able to get the complete picture of the southernmost continent's ice flow, from the South Pole to the shoreline.

A good analysis of the PROTECT IP the MPAA is trying to push through. It discusses Freedom Of Speech, censorship of all speech, presumption of guilt. Some countries have a firewall for political reasons, the US wants a firewall for money reasons. Which is more moral?

This is not about China but about how Premiere Radio Network pays people call in to Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck radio talk shows. Has America jumped the shark in propaganda?

I have written a small automated filter that searches spam for return email and sends a email to them. I would like to add a Windows exploit ( PDF, ... ) with the reply. ( Here are my details, open PDF ). Once Windows is under my control, analyse their computer for which spam service they are using, their identity, where they are,.... then do a disk format of the machine. I know the legality of this questionable, But who are they going to complain to?

Why can HTML not store JavaScript object or another HTML element as data in a HTML element? The integration between HTML and JavaScript is a one way street. JavaScript knows about HTML using DOM, but there is now way for HTML to store a JavaScript object or another DOM object. Many times when writing interactive web page, a person would like to save some information about the state of the HTML more than what is stored in the HTML or store a reference to an other DOM object. I know a HTML element can have user defined string data connected to it using "data-NAME" attribute. But a JavaScript object or an other HTML object can not be stored. You can store an HTML id but does not work for anonymous elements.
I nm not talking about sending JavaScript code embedded in the them for the server, but run time data and objects. I am not talking about children objects.
jQuery is an example of how to get around this problem, it creates one global object and connects the HTML to that object. Another way is to use JSON. To encode and decode every you use it (slow) and that still does not help with DOM objects.
Is it security, or the HTML does not know the JavaScript context? Or a deficiency in the spec or implementation?

Myanmar is the country that would not allow humanitarian aid after the cyclone kill thousands. After seeing "booth babes" then now want to show their IT by selecting a Miss IT. I want to see a picture of her standing by the country's Commodore 64.

ICANN has voted to allow new top level domains and non English languages for URLs. This give people in non English speaking countries the ability to navigate the internet in their native language. This divides the internet into language areas where there is no common reference. RFC3987 defines Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs) that browsers will need to comply with (which browser will be the first to support this)?

Chinese women sue CNN for US$1.3 billion. Two law suits, one in Beijing and one in New York claiming the remarks by commentator Jack Cafferty labeling Chinese "goons and thugs" violated the dignity and reputation of the Chinese people and intentionally or recklessly inflicted emotional distress on the plaintiffs. This sounds like a law suit by someone from America would file. The China are becoming more and more like the US while the US is becoming more like China.
