How many web sites in North Korea?


Apparently that's a state secret, but someone leaked it. There are 28 sites in the whole country. So says the New Scientist anyway.

Don't live in a major suburban/city area. My money is tied up with social security monthly checks and what I scrape together fixing other peoples motorcycles. Magazine subscriptions is not a disposable income expenditure I wish to delve into. Not a priority for me.

But if it trips your trigger. More power to you. My laptop and shop desktop is my parts catalog, repair manual repository, magazine, comic book, book, repository. Media Center with radio streaming stations and streaming videos.

It is just easier and cheaper for me that way hazel. I spent a lot of time teaching myself how to do this modern kids stuff. Might as well apply it.

Edit: besides, aint it all about sharing?

2nd edit: Oh crap. I just realized I responded to a geeks question.
Noooooooooooooo.

Only free ones. Actually, I used to subscribe to New Scientist, but that was when I was a teenager and computers were mainframes.

You're missing a lot. New Scientist is a wonderful journal. I wouldn't be without it.

I stopped reading New Scientists when it turned into Politics Today. I do see the need for social sciences and the political aspects of science being discussed but I really don't have time to get into anything where the only thing I'll learn is "Some people don't like this".
Still, at least we have these magazines unlike, to go back on topic, North Korea with their murdering little maggot deciding all policy.

Sorry, I thought I'd put it in General. Where was it then?

I doubt the kooks that run North Korea even bother to give anyone a computer. They don't give the people food so that should be a clue.

Not so sure about that, if this is any indication: http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-37154456

I would imagine it would work on the national intranet - Kwangmyong. Universities do not have full access to the internet though if some documentaries are accurate they have a weird 'vetting' system where they might be able to request access to certain internet sites.


Iran also is possibly going to follow DPRK's lead and just go full on intranet.

Oddly enough the UK pretty much has the infrastructure, and a lot of the laws, in place to do similar. Considering our current prime minister's views on the evils of the internet we may end up with the same thing as NK or Iran.

The answer is: "One."

North Korea is so obviously superior to every other civilization on Planet Earth that its enlightened citizens ... who are delighted with their lot and who fight to keep everyone else out of their little peninsula Nirvana ... need nothing more.
