  • The Iranian regime has developed, with the assistance of European telecommunications companies, one of the world's most sophisticated mechanisms for controlling and censoring the Internet, allowing it to examine the content of individual online communications on a massive scale
  • Human-rights groups have criticized the selling of such equipment to Iran and other regimes considered repressive, because it can be used to crack down on dissent, as evidenced in the Iran crisis. Asked about selling such equipment to a government like Iran's, Mr. Roome of Nokia Siemens Networks said the company "does have a choice about whether to do business in any country. We believe providing people, wherever they are, with the ability to communicate is preferable to leaving them without the choice to be heard."

  • We still strongly believe that copying for the sake of indexing is a fair use that is encouraged by existing copyright law precedents. Fair use is critical to the way web search and book search work and is already well established.

    New book published: Drupal 5 Views Recipes News and announcements · Drupal 5.x mroswell - June 16, 2009 - 14:38 I'm looking at a fresh new copy of Drupal 5 Views Recipes. I wrote it, and I'm thrilled to see it in print. I have a mix of Drupal 5 and Drupal 6 sites out there. If you've got any Drupal 5 sites, consider this book. Appendices I'll start by mentioning the appendices, since I think that's one of the most information-rich sections of the book. (The rest of the book consists of 94 step-by-step recipes.) Appendix A - List of all default views available for Drupal 5 Appendix B - Comprehensive list of Drupal 5 field formatters, by module Appendix C - Comprehensive list of Drupal 5 style plugins, by module Appendix D - Views 1 hooks Appendix E - Modules included in recipe ingredients Appendix F - Additional resources and modules Appendix G - Selected noteworthy patches to Views, sorted by topic Appendix E can serve as an index to the recipes, and also includes a column indicating which modules are available for Drupal 6. Appendix G unlocks a whole host of functionality not available in Views 1 by default. Recipes Interesting content includes: - How to overcome the case of the missing term in taxonomy views - Views arguments - Proximity search (Find every trailhead within 6 miles of a Senior Center, for instance) - Views Bulk Operations (such as mass updates of taxonomy) - Views Fusion, and the Views Fusion Node Reference patch - Using !$ and Ctrl-U in command line editing - Detailed steps for upgrading the Date and Calendar modules from 5.x-1.x to 5.x-2.x - Three options for setting up cron - Grouped views with the Views theme wizard - Overriding themes_view_view - Table of debugging techniques, including the author's favorites - Browser plugin for searching the Contributions API page - A quick way to format SQL queries for easier reading

  • is happy state of affairs could be close to an end.
  • his will make the Web more accessible to non-English-speakers but also will lead to tricky issues, such as whether dissidents in China or Iran will be permitted to have their own dot-addresses. How would Beijing respond to a Chinese-language domain that translates into .democracy or .limitedgovernment, perhaps hosted by computers in Taipei or Vancouver?
  • he U.N. model of Internet governance is highly unsatisfactory from a human-rights and free-expression point of view for obvious reasons,” she told me. “The Chinese and the Iranians and various other authoritarian countries will insist on standards and rules that make dissent more difficult, destroy the possibility of anonymity, and facilitate surveillance.”

  • I think the question here is not about which governments have the moral right to lead Internet governance over others,” Ms. MacKinnon argues, “but about whether it’s appropriate that Internet governance should be the sole province of governments, many of which do not arguably represent the interests of Internet users in their countries because they were not democratically elected
