[MD] Where is Andre?

Hi Andre,

Hope you get this.

Andre:
Am in the middle of examinations and my internet connections are playing up.
This is no joke.

Mary: Indeed

The White House signalled its strong support for Google today after the
company said that it would no longer submit to China's internet censors. 

The California-based search giant announced yesterday that it was
withdrawing from China's Great Firewall because of a "highly sophisticated
and targeted attack on our corporate infrastructure originating from China".


The company said that the hackers had been trying to access the Gmail
accounts of Chinese human rights activists and claimed that at least 20
other large companies had been similarly targeted. 

The move looked likely to hit Sino-US relations, although the Chinese have
yet to react to it. But both the White House and State Department made clear
that they supported Google's fight for a more open web.

The People's Republic of China has apparently barred its citizens from
visiting a host of Google properties, including the main search engine,
Google Apps, Google Reader and Gmail. A search on Twitter (preferred hashtag
seems to have become #fuckgfw) reveals that many Chinese are complaining,
particularly about not being able to use the search engine, although it
appears Google.cn can still be reached at this point.
The block of the services appears to have become apparent to users around 10
AM Eastern Time.

Ron to Bodvar and Andre:

Are we to surmise that you both are equating reality with belief?

Andre:
No Ron, just as Mrak did, you are missing the point of my post completely.

Ron:
"Reality" is supposed to be equated with experience to a subsciber
of?Robert Pirsig. Beliefs are said to shape and color experience
but they are not primary to experience according to Pirsig.

Andre:
Yes and no.

Ron:
If belief is reality then the truly delusional reign.

Andre:
Can't agree with you more.

Am in the middle of examinations and my internet connections are
playing up. This is no joke.

Am looking forward to responding to both your posts in due time.

Cheers
Andre
