Re: SOPA
I've been to reddit at least 30 times today, on instinct.
Now I find myself going there just to check on Twitter updates. o_O

It really is a hilarious read.

It's like they legitimately can't comprehend an organization sacrificing for the greater good. It is so far beyond them that someone would look out for someone other than themselves.

Totally sad that so many of those people had no clue what is going on.

Re: SOPA
Wikipedia is working fine for me.
I just hit the "stop" button before it loads the black screen that explains all that bullshit.
So...you know - it's not even really down. People are just too dumb to hit "stop loading".
But it's ridiculous that they can't grasp the concept of why.

Re: SOPA
^Exactly

Is it still possible to access Wikipedia in any way?
Yes. During the blackout, Wikipedia is accessible on mobile devices and smart phones. You can also view Wikipedia normally by disabling JavaScript in your browser, as explained on this Technical FAQ page. Our purpose here isn't to make it completely impossible for people to read Wikipedia, and it's okay for you to circumvent the blackout. We just want to make sure you see our message.

Re: SOPA
This whole blackout has pretty much made me realize how dumb the majority really is. Instead of reading a simple paragraph about what's going on with the web, they just tweeted and facebooked 1000 different "OMG WHAT IS GOING ON INTERWEBZ?"
Fucking idiots.

Re: SOPA
I haven't had a chance to read the proposed legislation (which just lost several endorsers today), but from my understanding this is the third or fourth revision it is has undergone, and those revisions resulted in the most controversial elements of the bill being removed.
So, it would be interesting if this backlash is intended toward a past form of the bill, or its current form.

Beware of any regulations that are sponsored by those that would be regulated by them.
