Top 10 List of Worldwide Internet Censors 115
PreacherTom writes "Reports of internet censorship are nothing new and are quite expected from countries whose leadership depends on controlling the popular worldview. Reporters Without Borders, a Paris group that does advocacy work for press freedom, puts a number to the trend with a list of the countries that it says go the furthest to censor the Internet. Photos document the worldwide protests and continuing struggles. Not surprisingly, China is described as the pioneer of internet censors, dedicating more resources than any other country to restrict online freedoms." This week we also discussed the Reporters Without Borders' 13 Enemies of the Internet list.

Don't mix your abstractions, the headline says "Top 10," not "Top Ten."
Base 13, dude. Base 13
I must be serious, because nobody makes jokes in base 13.

Although there are elements of truth to what you have to say, the stark manner in which you have presented it will cause the Slashdot mainstream to vilify you and force you to wear a polka dot hat.
Let us hope that the Commander Tacoyev reforms of 2007 are accepted. Then, Slashdot will be as civilized as any other blog and:
- You will no longer be forced to wear polka dot hat.
- I can continue to drink fermented barley water
- Pretty girls riding the bus can ask sit on my lap
Goodbye! Dzienkuje!

"Base 13, dude. Base thirteen."
But I ultimately decided, in the interest of safety, not to go for the strange loopy metametajoke. They tend to be explosively unstable.
