Taking GNOME to the Next Level

What I find amazingly idiotic is that when I try to access the url from India, I get this message

"The URL you requested has been blocked as per instructions from Department of Telecom(CHNN). URL = afaikblog.wordpress.com/2012/08/31/taking-gnome-3-to-the-next-level/"

Now, why the department of telecommunications is taking down articles on Gnome, one can only speculate. But, I think that they think Gnome is a bittorrent client. It's the only reasonable explanation. :)

I'm not getting any such errors on Airtel. FYI - the blocking of torrent sites by ISPs got them penalised for it (http://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/internet/article3738269.ece)

Sigh. India, where bureaucracy and logic are at war with each other.

Bureaucracy and logic (and common sense) have been in perpetual war everywhere since the invention of the concept of government.
