Chavez criticises Internet freedom

This article is very inaccurate. Corporate media in the U.S. and Venezuela are always accusing Chavez of "censorship". Interesting, when almost all of the media in Venezuela are privately owned, and are openly talking about overthrowing or assassinating him. Seems a bit odd for a "censored" press.

As far as the "internet censhorship" scare, the site in question blatantly lied, reporting that a government official had been assassinated, when they hadn't been. There is a law in Venezuela that says that news organizations are not allowed to lie to the public, just like we have slander/libel laws here that prevent people from doing that. The authors on this site were misinforming the public, and were told to stop. If you want to keep pretending like that makes Chavez a "dictator" ... go right ahead.

Our maintenance guy, Greg Chavez, would like to use the full name "Hugo Chavez" when referring to the dickheadtator of Venezuela. Not all Chavez' are bad!

It is interesting that all of the news media keeps referring to Chavez as a "socialist" when it is obvious that he is a "communist dictator" who has followed the "Castro Doctrine" from the very beginning. Caracas has become one of the most dangerous cities in the world and it is only going to get worse. However, when we have a president that is called "comrade" by Chavez and accepts a book very critical of the USA, we have a big problem. Unfortunately, it is going to take a civil war in Venezuela if change is to be accomplished. Venezuelans have been dragging their feet for the past eleven years and complaining on TV everyday. Actions speak louder than words.

Our local Pro-Business Law firm is offering services for gagging consumers that post negative opinions of the company products.

To much cocaine to be a leader. He's a little biotch that is so high on himself. Like the soutpark Smug ep, I bet he sniffs up his own farts and loves them.
A heart attack is in his near future, then we'll see the military take contoll, maybe 100,000 die in the dispute and nobody will help as it becomes a gang land.

Indeed M is making a good point, israel is not a theocracy and the religious party is not very big and much frowned upon, however when you are deemed jewish (a religion) you are automatically eligible for citizenship in israel, so the nation itself is based on religion, it's just that 'on the ground' it's not used so much, in fact less so than the US uses religion as basis for politics.
But the BBC has it in for israel and they are pushing hate against it in britain, and seeing the writers at the inq are mostly british I guess they get persuaded into that thinking too?
It's not too important though.

Theocracy - noun (plural theocracies) a system of government in which priests rule in the name of God or a god.

I agree with the broad thrust of the article, but Israel a theocracy? I don't think so. Lumping them in with the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is simply incorrect.

I didn't visit the inq a while and so completely missed the announcement that it is now the hub for commenting about obama, but it makes sense, an UK (EU) techwebsite, what better place to vent in comments about obama, and socialism...

But perhaps the US sites all are tired of the republican drivel and so they need to venture out huh?

I like how he says Scandinavia is socialist while the rest of Europe being corporate dominated 'democracies'. It was maybe true 30 years ago, but it sure isn't now. Although the "social democrats" rule the country most of the time, it doesn't make it socialist.

Maybe Chavez should worry more about keeping the electricity on in Caracas than continuing with his censorship jihad.

WHAT DO YOU do if you are Intel, and your next next next generation part, Haswell, is thrown into a tizzy by the re-purposing of a major component? Easy, you smile and move on 1,394 miles to eastern Washington.

Short story, Haswell no longer has Larrabee cores for integrated GPUs, but what is in there is a mystery. GenX? PowerVR? Another internal architecture? Whatever the case, the architecture that follows it, Rockwell, will have a variant of the same GPU core.

For those not following this with an obsessive-compulsive-like fervor, Intel's roadmaps go Sandy Bridge in 2011 on 32nm, Ivy Bridge in 2012 on 22nm and Haswell a year later, also on 22nm. The new Rockwell is a shrink of Haswell, and that means it will be on a 16nm process in 2014.

The next one is due in 2015, and that will be... revealed later

Is Chavez confusing two tin cans and a piece of string that he uses for communication, as the Internet? Someone should tell him to shove it! He qualifies as scumdog numero uno.

Do you think the Venezuelan government should prohibit public discussions against democracy?
