You have to press ESC before redirect

Oh noez, no updates on equestriadaily today.

Oh and don't worry about SOPA. There might be many DMC styled news about this, but... if you want to know what's actually going on:

It's Skynet! Quick someone call Arnie!

Also, anyone know Anon's profile? I need to give them positive karma for their stance on this.

I wish I had known about the ESC thing. I stayed up till 3 in the morning working on a school project, and every time I'd accidentally click a wiki link, I'd want to smash my computer monitor in

What made it worse was that I could see in information for a second, then the screen would black out with that damn SOPA thing.

All good though, because I got my project done and went to bed, and within a 3 hour time period, 5 inches of snow fell, and now I don't have to go to school today ^^

Homework without wikipedia is maybe not so easy, but there are worse things...

Just read in the register (tech journal) that Ireland is about to introduce a similar bill, details here

Every country is. Smelling the chance since the US are about to do it. They should all go to jail.

They can make laws 24 hours a day with no days off but enforcing them is another matter

Tunneling via a VPN to a country where the corporations don't dictate the laws sidesteps all this.

ACTA is another major threat to internet freedom:
