[Dax]

They are both trying to raise awareness about SOPA and PIPA which represent two bills in the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate respectively.

wiki isn't blacked out.....if you time it right

[Dax]

yeah they say that you can go around it by disabling your java script but if you go to the main page you will get the following
"Imagine a World
Without Free Knowledge"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

this is only showing for the English version.

don't even have to do that. go google something and find the wiki page. click on it see what pops up before the blackout screen!

Plenty of ways to get around this, for instance the mobile version is still active if you were to add an m. to the link.

Didn't realise how frequently I use Wiki until today.

[Dax]

yeah they said Mobile version would still be up and running, they don't want to block it completely they just want everyone that visits them to be aware of what's going on and hopefully help fight against this BS.

Dax can we get the election props back up in the book? Why do they come down every night and same odds go back up?

Whew I can still play trivia then!

They go down every day when I leave as some others do also, the reason for this is lines might change and If I'm not here I can't update them. If they go up with the same line it's because it didn't change. I'll have them up shortly...

This is one of the slow but sure steps on taxing the internet. dont let the agenda fool you. Subtle methods of control under the disguise of good excuses start it. What politically correct christian republican would be against stopping piracy?

It is control...just like the UIGEA..its not for the good of the people but of the corperations

[yisman]

the bills are awful and only serve the interests of a few huge wealthy corporations. Vast majority of people are against it, but the corrupt Congress is bought and paid for by these corrupt music and movie moguls.

If these bills went up for a vote before the public, they'd be destroyed in a landslide.

[Chimneyfish]

I get annoyed by any kind of internet protest because it always makes everyone on Facebook act like they're Che Guevara or something just because they posted a link. Everyone starts getting all self-righteous by lecturing people to support a cause as if they're the only person who knows about it, even though all they're doing is sitting at their computer copying and pasting shit.

[Robber]

Is theree trivia today
