   There s a plethora of checks I could do, and a lot of sites which check from different locations within china. The Internet is not same everywhere... But even some of these sites are blocked. I did visit one of those quickly and the result

   At least it is big news on Weibo where people complain about 'creating dumb people when you cant study code'. This might have to do with the a ticket polling (bashing) application since during this time it is hard to get tickets for the tra

    Ouch, but maybe solvable... Confirmed from Beijing. Thought it was the internet connectivity in the office that failed, but same at home. Did a traceroute and this reveals an expected result. It is really the DNS which returns a wrong value

    I wouldn't call it exceptional beauty. Code can be beautiful, but most projects in gaming (or actually any other branch), just as the author of this article says, gets released under pressure. And yes, this pressure is more common and resul

    Really happy with Hamachi. Started out marketed as a gaming tool, but LogMeIn remarketed it correctly as a real virtual network solution. Saved my &*s on several occasions allowing me to connct to a 'non-Internet' facing server. Does no

    Makes more sense... Oh yeah, changeable font would be nice as Chinese characters are mostly about pattern recognition. And as you know, they have the stylized and abstract way... Clerical, regular, etc. This can sometimes lead to confusion
