DC going offline to protest SOPA on Jan 18
Stoic Joker:
In the case of many of the big-name "blackouts" from sites like Wikipedia, Google, or Reddit, I was not impressed with the follow-through used. Google turned their logo black. Wikipedia's blackout was only for the English site and easily overridden with (or due to lack of) javascript. Reddit only did it for half of the day.
IMO those are examples of half-hearted protests. If you're going to protest something you should first come up with an effective form of protest and then commit to follow through with the protest.

This I understand, as I too was looking for a bit more - all in - carnage.

Says it all really - and in calm rational terms

I've downloaded that into a few browsers a few times... (Flash crashes or some crap.) 3rd or 4th time is the charm I guess. :)
So, finally saw it.
AWESOME!
He nails so much down there. Brilliant.
(I still think that it's a Trojan horse as well though -- it's worded way too vaguely.)

Carnage? That's what Anonymous is for~! ;D
But no... you're right. I was hoping for a bit more. Google just petered out. Their effort was just f*****g lame.
NSFW Google's excuse...But what can you do when you've got investor cocks rammed down your throat? Kind of hard to "fuck profit" for the greater good/sanity when you're busy gobbling...
TaoPhoenix:
I seem to remember there being "four boxes" without even the coffin ... Got it - y'all forgot Jury Box.
The four boxes of liberty is a meme that proposes: "There are four boxes to be used in the defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury and ammo. Please use in that order." It is often quoted by conservative groups that oppose gun control."

Hmmm... shouldn't it be ammo, then jury? ;)
