Danwei is aware of the impressive repertoire of gestures commanded by Premier Wen Jiabao, but the nose-tweak does not seem to be among them.
The China Daily has published an opinion piece called A More Accessible Cyberspace. Here are some excerpts:
The new policy on Internet governance is making the Web community accessible. As an individual Internet user, I feel the process of China's website is going on the rails......It is a truth that, when so many people devote into the web, the wrong people among will do something wrong on the web. They post dirty words; attack dissidents in forums; spread unhealthy contents on the web. They block the Internet developing to be multilateral, transparent and democratic...
...If a school has a direct Internet connection, then anyone, including students, can access objectionable material...
...[T]here are many ways to effectively regulate certain parts of the Internet so that people will be less able to access objectionable material...
...The new Internet regulation would bring a better Internet that truly everyone will be able to use without the worry of social conflicts arising such as pornography, violence and explicit language.
Chinese cell phone manufacturer Amoi have hired Li to endorse their new product M630. They think their product quality and Li's image are a good match.
A recent print ad for Amoi M630 features a photo of Li wearing sunglass, and the headline is : absolute straight and handsome, peerless.
Li is well known for her androgynous looks; many young girls think her as their 'knight in shining armor'.
Once again, those consummate journalists at China Daily have stolen a translation from ESWN.
ESWN's translation of the Southern Weekend investigative report, The Death of a Hair Salon Girl, appears on China Daily as The death of a soulful hair salon girl.
It appears that the promised bomb was a dud, but we eagerly await a line-by-line comparison.
The Nanny is on the rampage: the free online encyclopedia Wikipedia is blocked in China.
Thanks a lot you old hag.
感觉最近2年MT没做别的，几乎大部分改进都是围绕anti spam了。Spam问题的确已经是困扰很多movabletype用户的主要问题，比如前2天pronet上一封邮件的标题是这样的：“spam spam spam, I DO NOT like spam”。在旧版的MT中我主要依靠mt-blacklist和SpamLookup这2个插件进行SPAM的处理。mt-blacklist已经积累了4万多次被block的记录。我自己的BLOG仍然以每天几十封spam的速度遭受轰炸，国庆假期回来，SpamLookup中已经积累了几百封pendding的垃圾信待确认。昨天晚上终于下决心将后台blog系统整体升级了一把，其实MT 3.2今8月底就发布了。但是看到了一些升级失败的例子，其中新的垃圾留言识别和管理机制是大部分用户都最看重的功能。
升级成功后的留言管理界面：
新版本的3.2中对于comment spam和trackback spam都增加了一定的改进。
So, you're a struggling foreign correspondent desperate to write interesting stories and impress your bosses in London? Do you go to a notorious hotspot of local government violence and corruption and go half-crazy during an altercation with local hooligans? Maybe. Do you write yet another article about prostitution or fake DVDs or the fact that the buildings are, like, really big and shit? You could.
But maybe you'd prefer to go to Shaoshan in Hunan, the birthplace of Mao and source of a multitude of cliches for your readers back home.
The latest sorry hack to visit the city and talk with umpteen cardboard cut-out Maodolaters and the inevitable taxi driver? Why, step forward David Eimer of The Independent. Nowhere else will you get quite so much banality for your buck.
