Story: No Chinese walls on the internet

Chinese walls versus Security

The idea that everything is interconnected, and relies on such to work, therefor reinforcing the original rule, is quite an interesting premise, to say the least.

I wonder how organisations trusted with national security would reply to such a discussion? The various spy agencies around the world emply a myriad of techniques to lock down environments, but more importantly information.

Should they just throw open their doors to state secrets?

I think its fair to say that there are ways and means of achieving security. The real discussion here is not so much technical. Rather, its why a journalist seems to have misunderstood that there is a cultural issue at play, yet blindly stands upon the plinth of technology, proclaiming all things should be open.

Tut tut.

Perhaps you should go back to school and learn a little more about cultural relations.

I wonder, who needs .asia domain? I cannot imagine, what would be useful for Microsoft.asia? Toyota.asia? Then let's register .europe (if .eu is too short). Or perhaps Microsoft.southamerica, Dell.australiaandnewzealand, Coca-Cola.africa... Sound funny? Then why not just use the global and country domains? Or perhaps it is time to drop the domains at all?
