Look it up now
 
English Wikipedia will be shutting down Wednesday to protest SOPA.

Ha.

I heard about that. This overreach reminds me of our recent enshrinement in law of indefinite detention. "Let's shut down a whole website because they have a link to copyrighted material." Such a grand all-encompassing law showcases the weakness of our faith in our legal system. With these laws, we invent new crimes.

Yay England.
Don't knowledge-tax on our Wiki!

Or something.

And Reddit, and boingboing, and many more.

Actually, its the English language version of Wiki that's being shut down. So we can thank English speakers everywhere for a day of total confusion brought about by forced searches on Bing and other questionable search engines.

My last year or so working in the bar, a guy used to play that all the time, late in the night.

It always gets stuck in my ear.

Mozilla? Does that mean my browser will stop working tomorrow?

What about the Cellar? UT should probably shut that down for the day. (Just think how the world's productivity will improve for those 24 hours!)

infinite monkey 01-17-2012 07:11 PM

Right about now (listening to the video) all the workers should be around the bar doing a quick shot of their choice. :lol:
