Placebo 29 Posted August 12, 2004 af.mil worked fine, tried navy.mil and got nothing, switched proxies (I have a bunch of proxies set up in FireFox using the SwitchProxy extension as my wireless internet is very unstable) so anyways switched proxies and got this........

feersum.endjinn 6 Posted August 13, 2004 When I switched ISP, most of US .mil sites stopped working for me. I can access all .mil sites just fine if I use host which has .fi DNS name, but as my current ADSL has .net domain I'm blocked out. I guess it's all this Homeland Insecurity stuff...

feersum.endjinn 6 Posted August 13, 2004 Chinese internet censorship is a joke. It took me about 5 seconds to access any site I wanted while traveling in China Not to mention that if all else fails, you can use ssh or any other encrypted tunneling method to go wherever you want. Also it seems to be that many companies only censor their Chinese-language sections, for example I could use Finnish version of Google to search whatever I wanted and with just two buttons it isn't too hard for anyone with more than a few braincells to figure what they do even if they don't know the language. They do have conventional media in pretty tight leash though, any foreign newspapers are impossible to find anywhere else than few specific 5-star hotels where foreign dignitaries, journalists and businessmen usually stay (no, I couldn't afford living there, so I was in complete news blackout during my stay there ). Local media is just a state-fed bullshit editorialism and English-language state TV channel consists of blonde chick with California accent hopping around a country and interviewing people from minorities who give out yes/no answers like they're reading a paper at a gunpoint (probably that was the case ) Interestingly, only English-language TV news channel you could watch in ordinary Chinese home was Fox News Channel, must have involved some really nice deals between Beijing Government and Mr. Murdoch... Yeah, "fair and balanced" my ass Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
