hey has anybody here yesterday received a notice that Wikipedia site will be down (blacked out) just for today?
this blackout is apparently due to a number of factors that i heard on the news, has anybody heard the factors as well.

It's not due to a number of factors at all, it's in response to one thing: SOPA/PIPA. It's a protest against those bills. It should make you think too, especially if you use Wikipedia or Youtube. Type wikipedia.com in your browser and see the page. That's what it will be like, only a LOT LOT WORSE if either of those bills pass.
When wikipedia does return, just search for SOPA or PIPA. Then by all means, write your congressional representatives!!!!!!!

Oh, sorry, i just forgot what it said on yesterday's message, and as for making me think, what comes to mind was the news about those unnecessary blacklist internet bills, i think protest may be against something like that, only similar.
