- badfrog, on 07/16/2009, -0/+31I think some North Koreans must be saying "Thanks for telling the regime how to find us, you *****."
- nxusername, on 07/16/2009, -0/+19Revealed on Google Earth: North Korea’s Secret Free Market
Tomorrow on Google News: Hundreds executed after discovery of North Korea’s Secret Free Market - CaptainRant, on 07/16/2009, -1/+19You cannot stop the free market, but many have tried to contain it.
- scarolan, on 07/16/2009, -2/+12So, where's the link to Google Earth or Google Maps so I can scroll back through time and see these markets? FAIL
- Homerr, on 07/16/2009, -2/+8Complete lack of satellite imagery fail.
- TheNik, on 07/16/2009, -0/+5The government sure does which is why those free markets are probably not going to be around much longer.
- Culyt, on 07/16/2009, -0/+5I think the easiest way to sort out North Korea would be to drop a whole load of cheap netbooks with internet access.
Might cost a lot, but it would probably be cheaper than normal warfare. - Berkana, on 07/16/2009, -4/+9(Legit) Capitalism FTW!
- Heiminator, on 07/16/2009, -0/+4apart from history proving you wrong time and time again during the last century,north korea is the last stalinist governed country on earth,and stalinism has little to do with communism in its original form...
- nepidae, on 07/16/2009, -1/+5pics or it didn't happen
- FeloniusMonkey, on 07/16/2009, -0/+4So if the government has Internet, then we'd have an answer to that age-old question: "Is North Korea aware that the rest of the world knows they're full of *****?"

with google earth points of interest. - FeloniusMonkey, on 07/16/2009, -0/+3Funny, though I seriously doubt North Koreans have access to any foreign media sources, including the Internet(s).
- mrsteveman1, on 07/16/2009, -0/+3This is not twitter.....
- jofwooster, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2Ha ha!!! ... :o ... :'(
- Pebcak, on 07/16/2009, -1/+3North Koreans are moving toward capitalism, the U.S. is moving toward socialism. Who woulda thought?
- r3bol, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2Its late. I thought it said flea market
- Gavagai80, on 07/17/2009, -1/+3Everyone would've thought, because when you're at the extremes there's no other direction to move but towards the middle.
- whatit, on 07/17/2009, -0/+1We could use starcraft to pacify their rage, just load it onto their netbooks.
The Americans did the same thing to the Canadians using CBC and hockey. - jofwooster, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1"Money is the barometer of a society’s virtue. When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion—when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing—when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors—when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you—when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice—you may know that your society is doomed. Money is so noble a medium that is does not compete with guns and it does not make terms with brutality. It will not permit a country to survive as half-property, half-loot."
- Ayn Rand - lemur, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1Illegal capitalism FTL?
- drewniverse, on 07/17/2009, -0/+1I'd buy that for a dollar! Oh, wait...
- jofwooster, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1The internets will save us!
- jofwooster, on 07/17/2009, -1/+1Can you tell me something that's actually wrong with her ideas as opposed to just saying, "Like, whatever. She's stupid, and her face is stupid too!!"
Second question, have you actually read anything by her? - lemur, on 07/16/2009, -2/+2Unfortunately Ayn Rand is an idiot who doesn't know what she is talking about, but she can spout off crap that cold war Americans think sounds good.
- InTheUnion, on 07/16/2009, -0/+0" It's even the subject of dark humor within the country, said Lankov, quoting a self-deprecating joke North Koreans make: "There are only two kinds of people in North Korea: those who are engaged in trade and those who are dying." "
Wow, that's really dark humour... nothing that a bit of good old capitalism can't solve.
I can't decide whether that was sarcastic or not :s - EddiePotato, on 07/16/2009, -5/+4Many have succeeded in containing it, to a large degree. It's when you either let it do anything it wants or try to stomp it down completely that all hell breaks loose.
- Presbyterian, on 07/16/2009, -3/+0woooosh.
- inactive, on 07/16/2009, -6/+2I'm still trying to figure out what the hell this is about.
Buried. - daniloklein, on 07/16/2009, -8/+0google earth knows everything! it know even if u're wearing underwear or not... #fact
- Presbyterian, on 07/16/2009, -11/+2Screw that, Communism is better.
