The technical term for a person who is not bilingual is “American.” (grin)

“Remember to [...] join the fight against SOPA to stop internet censorship.”

Never. It’s about time they start fighting against piracy. SOPA should have been introduced 15 years ago. It’s unbelievable they have waited for so long to introduce some laws to stop online piracy.

Taking a stand and making a moral choice is rarely convenient. People in non-democratic countries give their lives to defend their rights – and yet here under the protection of democracy people are so self-entitled and needy that they have to undermine a protest to suit their small-minded self-interest. Wikipedia will be gone for only 24 hours – is there anything so vital that it can’t wait that long?

This sort of pat on the back “cleverness” plays right into the hands of the SOPA advocates – it backs up their argument that people on the Internet will do anything to overcome a limitation, whether it be legitimate or not.

I am disgusted – OSXDaily should be better than this.

It wasn’t until read this article about disabling javascript in Safari that I realized it was only a script blocking the site. When I disabled the “No-Script” add-on for Firefox, I finally saw the shut-down screen on Wikipedia.

The Wikipedia app for my iPod works just fine, as well.

javascript:$(‘#mw-sopaOverlay’).remove();$(‘body’).children().show();
