South Korea Bans Anonymous Posting On Popular Websites

,----[ Quote ]
| In response, Korea has now passed a law that requires anyone posting on a 
| site that has over 100,000 unique visitors a day to reveal their real names 
| and national ID (found via Michael Scott). This seems quite extreme. There 
| are certainly pros and cons to allowing anonymous speech, but it seems to go 
| overboard to outlaw it completely on any relatively popular site.

Doug Lenat - I was positively impressed with Wolfram Alpha

,----[ Quote ]
| Stephen Wolfram generously gave me a two-hour demo of Wolfram Alpha last 
| evening, and I was quite positively impressed.  As he said, it's not AI, and 
| not aiming to be, so it shouldn't be measured by contrasting it with HAL or 
| Cyc but with Google or Yahoo.

[A2k] Korea, Three Strikes Out Provision Passed in the Standing Committee with
Some Changes

,----[ Quote ]
| On March 3, 2009, the National Assembly's Committee on Culture, Sports,
| Tourism, Broadcasting & Communications (CCSTB&C) passed  a bill to revise the
| Copyright Law. The bill includes the so called, "three strikes out"
| or "graduated response" provision. The basic structure of the three strikes
| out  provision is the same as that of the bill proposed by the Ministry of
| Culture, Sports and Tourism (MCST) in July, 2008
