Except  doesn't actually look like  Half the thick blue lines don't correspond to anything on the federal reserve map, and half the federal reserve borders are either barely marked or just not marked at all.

Well redtube kinda combines red light district and youtube so it makes some sense, I suspect xhamster is intended to be so nonsensical as to be memorable, as opposed to all the other basically completely indistinguishable porn website names. e; beaten about redtube.

Xvideos is for whatever reason inaccessible from Hong Kong (just get a timeout, no "blocked overseas IP" message). This makes me sad because I'd love to see what all the fuss is about.

As far as I know only two categories are blocked: porn, and anything North Korean because the government is dumb and still thinks it's 1960 and people would defect if they had access to NK stuff.

Phlegmish posted:Did anyone defect even back then? Yep, lots. North Korea was the economically superior country until the 70s, and both were lovely oppressive dictatorships until SK's reforms in the 80s, so there was a solid two decades where NK was better off. SK's first elected non-airquotes president was 1988. Before that they were trying to get nuclear weapons and doing their own Tiananmens such as: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwangju_massacre Grand Fromage fucked around with this message at 03:37 on May 13, 2014 |

It's still pretty sad how few people know that South Korea was a lovely dictatorship until recently, it's some straight memory hole poo poo. The same kind of goes for Taiwan but the US hasn't had the same kind of relationship with The Republic of China since we recognized the other one, so I think that's more apathy than anything.

Ofaloaf posted:Surely you could just go old-school and bring along a copy of Playboy or something. After I run it through a paper shredder to keep it from the prying eyes of customs, and reassemble it after I get to the hotel? Well, craftsmanship does make one appreciate items better. In retrospect I should have asked VPN or Tor/proxy equivalent; previous phrasing made it sound like I was conflating the two.

How thoroughly do they search laptops and flash drives? Bury it deep enough and you could get lucky.

I remember a long time ago reading about how it was possible to stash a .rar archive in an image. Maybe you could do the same for your porn? I doubt the authorities would check that thoroughly.

I've heard of people hiding information in the alpha layer of an image before. I don't know about a whole porn collection archive though. "Yeah, that 3TB picture of me and my mom is...uh...really important to me. I took it with a...um...3.1 petapixel camera with 14kbit color depth. It's uh...a real masterpiece."

When a professional is seriously searching a hard drive, like in an investigation or something, they don't look at it in windows, they use a tool which just shows all the files in a big long list of data (whether the file is flagged as "deleted" or not) and use other tools to search that. You can't actually hide something by deleting it or faking the file type or stuff like that. If this is just a border check situation, I can't imagine how they'd get that much access to your stuff. I can't imagine them searching it at all? Ditocoaf fucked around with this message at 05:54 on May 13, 2014 |

NEED TOILET PAPER posted:I remember a long time ago reading about how it was possible to stash a .rar archive in an image. Maybe you could do the same for your porn? I doubt the authorities would check that thoroughly. It's pretty easy, actually. You pretty much just append the RAR to the end of a JPEG. The JPEG parser will ignore the extra data at the end and the unraring application ignores everything in the file before the RAR header, so you have a picture that you can open with WinRAR that holds secret stuff. The most clever use I've seen was to put  PDF's of entire e-books in a picture of the book's cover so they could be distributed on image boards.
