I've nothing against AvantGo as such, its a nice program and all but I've never got along with it very well. No strong reason apart from not liking the way the GUI works, personal preference I guess! Just one of those things! - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group. To unsubscribe, p

Re: [backstage] Psiphon

I think it is pretty laughable :-) I am very happy to pay for quality and expensive programming, but being censored from the same, just because of a legal precedent, is almost the ultimate insult, especially if one does have a UK TV license. In my hallucination, it should take one person with

RE: [backstage] Psiphon

Alright alright, I walked into the last two comments :) But its certainly an interesting debate, what would (we) the BBC do if Geo IP was so easily passed. And what would you do if it was so easy? I thought this might be amusing for some. http://blogs.opml.org/tommorris/2006/11/27#obviousTruthsF

So it looks like some kind of GPL tunnelling service/application? Looks interesting though, specially if they make it super easy to use. It does raise a whole load of privacy questions for the user (I would suggest Tor is better in that case) and lots of questions for a broadcaster such as the

Wow, I will be watching the next World Cup live on the BBC then. ;-) If this does what I think it will, then the resulting discussion will, again, have consequences for everyone. Personally, I like the idea of sharing and from this side of the Channel, the UK is a state that censors. I accep
