Good or bad that Wikipedia is down for 24 hours? Good or bad that they're bringing prominent attention to the proposed bills? Good or bad that the US are proposing bills which may have far reaching effects way beyond the US borders (even though its now unlikely that they'll be discussed in their current form)? Whatchoo talkin' 'bout Alf? |

Re: Wikipedia Blackout Protest
I think SOPA is dead in the water in its current form.
The powers that be in the New World Order will keep trying though, they'll stop at nothing. It's good that this blackout raises it as an issue. |

Not exactly much of a reference then, if you already know the information you're looking up?

Re: Wikipedia Blackout Protest
If you're a Wiki tragic you can still get your fix - type in the search criteria and then jump on your PC's "Stop" button before it goes to the blackout page.

Only for that one article which you already know about though (presuming what you know is correct). Anyone can edit on Wikipedia, so one article being correct doesn't mean those articles you don't know about are correct.
I think Wikipedia is awesome - the greatest encyclopedia ever created. |
