NKorea Said to Launch New E-Mail Service
2003-12-04
North Korea, an isolated country known for totalitarian control, has launched an international e-mail service that "guarantees the privacy of correspondence,"
Brahahahahahaha....
according to a government news report. The brief dispatch from the official Korean Central News Agency provided few details about the service, including how to subscribe. It is run by Pyongyang’s International Communications Center, according to its official Korean Central News Agency. North Korea keeps a tight lid on its 22 million people to shield them from outside influence.
such as democracy, freedom, prosperity, and little things like FOOD,
Few ordinary North Koreans are believed to have computer and e-mail access. TV sets and radios come with fixed channels so that people can only watch or listen to government-controlled media. But in recent years, North Korea has begun opening its electronic borders. In 2001, a China-based Web site opened the first commercial e-mail link to the communist country. Leader kimmie-boy Kim Jong Il is known as an Internet porn surfer. When then-U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright visited Pyongyang in 2000, Kim asked for her e-mail address.
Big Farking deal! Did he ever use it?
Sure he did. He's mailed her over 8,000 pictures of himself naked...
Kimmie-boy has often emphasized the importance of computer technology to enslave his starving millions. Foreign visitors can link their computers to the Internet through tapped and recorded international phone lines available in a few hotels in Pyongyang. An Internet cafe has also opened in the North Korean capital, recent visitors say.
Of course this does not say anyone but the highest party officials get access.

#10  I remember one of the guys in Vietnam bringing back six cases of Black Label for the squadron bar one time. One of the senior NCOs made him drink the entire lot. Took more than six weeks. Now THAT's a gift for Kimmie. I'm sure there's a CONEX box somewhere with some of that rat pi$$ still stashed away. We all need to look! 8^)

#7  I'll pony up a six-pack of Bud Light. I will ship to anywhere in North Korea. Come on Nork ranters I know you are out there. Caveat: This does not apply to Kimmie!

#6  Start spamming North Korea addresses with PGP encrypted messages. That'll get them NorKs all nice and worked up into a paranoid lather.

#2  Great. Does this mean we can start getting North Korean requests to launder money for collapsing gulags? Just what is 10% of nothing, anyway?

#1  We must set up a prize for the first certified Nork on Rantburg. I'd offer a suckling pig but I fear that would be a bandwidth destroyer, perhaps a box of Jello.
