We all knew it wouldn't go through. He is democrat, the suggesters are republican

I know this has nothing to do with SOPA etc, but it's to do with Obama and i found it hilarious.

 

[Wozza63]

isnt that face a meme?

 

[Corfate]

Yes it is, anyway, carry on with your discussion

 

[UndeadJack]

I love it

 

[TheKeir]

Haha cool pictures, never seen that meme before.

Did you know, on 18th January there is going to be an internet strike, to protest against SOPA? Wikipedia, Blogger, Reddit, FailBlog, Minecraft, Mozilla and others, will be replaced with a message about how SOPA needs to be stopped.

That will be interesting! I am guessing they will just change their logos right?

 

[Wozza63]

They may even take part, if google do it, they will have a massive impact, they could very easily involve it in their name in their search page like they do on special occasions.

Google have apparently threatened to blackout for a day. Read it on Engadget I think or one of the Gawker blogs

Their entire site will be replaced with a message about how SOPA needs to be stopped. Read the full thing here: http://sopastrike.com/

(I'm a loyal member of Demand Progress, the campaign which is organising this and has been fighting against this act for many months now.)

If Google join the strike, then, well... I think the US govt will get our point.

 

[Music Guy123]

apparently it will happen for about 150s.

NOOOOO NOT XDA! (but yay too). I am busy troubleshooting my ROM on my phone atm :/

It's not going to happen all day or anything like that, because those sites do want to make money after all, but it will be long enough so that it disrupts everyone.

 

[UndeadJack]

oh cool people will get off facebook and decide to go to town

 

[Wozza63]

id say an hour would be a good time becuase most people wouldnt notice it for 2 and a half minutes, just looking at the full list, its huge, will PCS be willing (just the forum of course) it may not be for UK but it would affect us

 

[Wozza63]

facebook is also listed on there, obviously though, anyone could add it

and google apparently
