Hi Andre, Hope you get this.
Andre: Am in the middle of examinations and my internet connections are playing up. This is no joke. Mary: Indeed http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/the_web/article698 6760.ece The White House signalled its strong support for Google today after the company said that it would no longer submit to China's internet censors. The California-based search giant announced yesterday that it was withdrawing from China's Great Firewall because of a "highly sophisticated and targeted attack on our corporate infrastructure originating from China". The company said that the hackers had been trying to access the Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights activists and claimed that at least 20 other large companies had been similarly targeted. The move looked likely to hit Sino-US relations, although the Chinese have yet to react to it. But both the White House and State Department made clear that they supported Google's fight for a more open web. http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/06/24/censorship-20-china-blocks-google-searc h-apps-gmail-and-more/ The People's Republic of China has apparently barred its citizens from visiting a host of Google properties, including the main search engine, Google Apps, Google Reader and Gmail. A search on Twitter (preferred hashtag seems to have become #fuckgfw) reveals that many Chinese are complaining, particularly about not being able to use the search engine, although it appears Google.cn can still be reached at this point. The block of the services appears to have become apparent to users around 10 AM Eastern Time. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Andre Broersen Sent: Tuesday, January 12, 2010 9:05 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MD] Metaphysics Ron to Bodvar and Andre: Are we to surmise that you both are equating reality with belief? Andre: No Ron, just as Mrak did, you are missing the point of my post completely. Ron: "Reality" is supposed to be equated with experience to a subsciber of?Robert Pirsig. Beliefs are said to shape and color experience but they are not primary to experience according to Pirsig. Andre: Yes and no. Ron: If belief is reality then the truly delusional reign. Andre: Can't agree with you more. Am in the middle of examinations and my internet connections are playing up. This is no joke. Am looking forward to responding to both your posts in due time.
