II am a westerner.  Would Kim Jong IL allow me to use a computer on the Internet if I was in North Korea.?

No.  Read about a trip to N. Korea by a group of Americans a couple of years ago.\n\nhttp://1stopkorea.com/index.htm?nk-trip1.htm~mainframe

yes you would if you have your own internet portal. there is another way. if your neighbor as a wireless router, then you would probably be able to use THEIR internet but the internet would belong to your neighbor.\ni guarantee this the best answer

It should be "ARE Osama and the Chinese using YAHOO Answers?" And North Korea is not Chinese...it is Korean. \n\nAnd I highly doubt it. I just can't see Osama or Kim using yahoo or googling on how to build a nuke. See...the reason they tend to be successful in their terroist actions is that they have more of a scope than internet search engines. \n\nAnyone who would be privy to imporant information such as how to build a nuke or the location of secret army bases should hopefully be smart enough to realize that they shouldn't divulge such information on public forums. And they probably have something better to do than spread state secrets on Yahoo.

Try going to www.youtube.com and search for Kim Jong II.

There are many communist (China, N Korea, Cuba) and socialist countries (Sweden, Russia, France) where your ideas and assistance would be appreciated. Forgive me if I don't rush out in a lather to follow in your wake.

You can also try and access by proxie sites, however, if your CS/IT admins are smart, they have already blocked these.\n\nKeep in mind that government computer systems are not permissiable to use for personal needs.  Surfing pornography, questionable content, and such is strictly forbidden by government statute, and many many military base policies, and is quite punishable (if you are military).\n\nSimple rule of thumb:  Government system, check email; other than that, use only for research or job need.  It just isn't smart to abuse such a service.\n\nOne way to get around this is to use some form of dial up connection from your data port on the phone, to access like MSN or AOL at work, this way you bypass any government computer, and just use your own dedicated network.  Though, this is only available if you have multiple phone lines.  Keep in mind, this doesn't apply if the government employeer provides the MSN or AOL services, in which case the same rules apply as do those on the LAN.

Easy answer is NO\n\nYou may try to build VPN to other computer where you have full access, but it won't be easy.

China and Japan do this on a regular basis.  Sadly there isn't any software that I know of that can get around this!  It's blocked at a local level, most often by those in power.

You have 3 options.  First you could simply take advantage of any open wireless connection you might find.  This could be hit or miss in some areas of Europe and is illegal in some areas as well.\n\nSecond, you can research European cyber-cafes and note locations of each as you travel.  These will allow you legal Internet access and you can check your ail.\n\nThird, you could purchase a card for your laptop that allows you to connect to the Internet like using a cell phone.  Issue here is that while the card is not expensive the air time will be very costly.

it might backfire when you find real nukes not only pointed at you (thats 'you' not us) but targeted directly at your personal anal passage. but as the highly intelligent girl above pointed out. you are not the real bush but some spotty little oik at his computer in his parents basement. nice job Poindexter. whats next? should we ban internet useage by children during school holidays? It may not address the Iran issue but it might stop rubbish like you posting utter bollox.

I believe that it is certainly possible, the internet is a big part of what may make it happen because it is getting harder and harder for oppressive govenments to control information (such as China) eventually it will be impossible and people in these govenments will demand to chose how they are governed.

You would have to be capable of constructing a simple sentence in English prior to being allowed computer access.

There needs to be other things taken into consideration. Do you know anything about this person? Merely visiting a website is not illegal like you pointed out. In a democracy, we should be able to read anything we want and/or visit whatever websites we want. During the Cold War, if someone pulled the Communist Manifesto from the library, people would assume that they were an enemy of the state. Today it is standard reading in Comparative Politics and Political Theory classes. This is not to suggest that the teachings of "radical extremists" will be legitimized in the future. What am I am suggesting is that people often read to LEARN what others believe, not because they believe it themselves. If you really feel like this person is a threat because of some further evidence other than simply viewing a website, then sure turn it over to the authorities. But please don't get wrapped up in this modern day witch hunt. \n\nP.S. There are all different types of radical extremism. The tendency to lean to the extreme exists in every belief and ideology and theology. I assume that you're suggesting that it was an radical Islam website but you should make that clear.

Do you know the history behind all the countries you have mentioned?  Read up on North Korea.  I live in South Korea right now and I can tell you; you don't want that little alcoholic psychopath having a nuclear bomb.  So far he has starved his own country just to build an arsonal to attack South Korea with.  By the way, where are you from?  You aren't very well informed on world events.

Basically, nowhere. Mostly, nobody's in charge of policing your experience.  \n\nIn most of the Western world, no one is in charge of making your Internet experience the way you imagined it would be, or would prefer it to be. In fact, nowhere of which I'm aware is that true. In some places the government or the local religious establishment will attempt to filter the entire Internet to keep out things that they don't like, but that might not be your choice. For instance, the Wikipedia is basically unavailable in mainland China (except through somewhat involved trickery involving proxies), and so someone there is trying to start something similar just for mainland China -- it's said to be very heavily censored by the Chinese government. \n\nAside from political or religious information some people might not want you to encounter, there are jerks and idiots (commercial and otherwise) on the 'Net and you will come across them or their works. Pretty much like real life, ritgh? \n\nMany of these are out to take your money (with or without supplying a product, any product, in return) and are little different any other grifter or con artist. They can just get at you more easily than they used to. The really dangerous stuff is probably the spoof sites which try to fool you into supplying user name, account number, password, PIN, and other such information by pretending to be, for instance your bank, or Yahoo administration, or AOL Adminstration, etc. It's called 'phishing'. It's one of the ways identity theft can happen, and only you can block it by never supplying such information until you are CERTAIN the site you're interacting with is the correct one. Call your bank and ask, look at the URL (in the address bar in your browser) to see if it looks suspicious, and if it is, go to the site yourself by typing in the address on the invoice (or something like that) rather than clicking on some link in a dodgy email or Web page. Never supply any such information routinely, without thought. Always ask yourself if all looks right. Always, no exceptions. Cynicism is good.\n\nClicking on 'unsubscribe' in junk email usually only has the effect of confirming that their email has reached a real person, and you will likely get even more spam as your email address is passed around. It's now more valuable than before since it's been shown to actually work. \n\nComplaining to your ISP moves the responsibility to someone who never agreed to handle your censorship for you. And is not equipped to do so. In the US, ISP's are legally protected from the consequences of, for instance, passing illegal images (eg, child porn) only if they are neutral with regard to the traffic they carry. \n\n========\nfilter programs\n\nIn any case, there are no good automatic programs which can do this correctly. Nor are there any laws which can do the same. Legislation, like programs which attempt such things, is too blunt an instrument, aside from the fact that much of this junk is produced elsewhere (regardless of where you are) and your legislature won't have jurisdiction. \n\nFor instance, let's say that sex stuff is the sort of thing you want blocked. The content of the stuff that heads your way might be inspected for trigger words (you can imagine what some of them might be) and those pages blocked. Unfortunately, you will likely not be able to see any Web sites having to do with breast cancer research because it will trip one of the triggers. Libraries, schools, and parents  have tried install such 'nanny' software with quite uneven results for just this reason. It's very hard -- acutally hard, not merely a nuisance -- to reliably screen out the unwanted stuff, while not also blocking wanted stuff. At least not automatically. \n\nAnother filtering approach is to block all traffic from particular sites (eg, anoyingpornRus.com) or from particular 'Net addresses for such things as emai

Well, pretty much everyone is involved in dealing with North Korea, including other nations like China, Russia, Japan and the UK. I think Kim Jong Il will remain in power for a long time, probably as long as Fidel Castro. Lack of effective diplomatic efforts have unfortunately lead to a nuclear armed North, now that there are sanctions, we are not sure as to what is to come out of the North Korean scenario.

yes, if they have network capability - what kind of computers are you talking about?
