I jut had to look something up _without Wikipedia_!

And, of course, since Wikipedia came along, people don't seem to be as interested in making their own sites about things that interest them, they just update Wikipedia instead!

This is going to be a looooong day.

Having said that, it just took me quite a while to add the AdBlock rules necessary to circumvent it!

I was wondering why it was working for me - it's because I've got NoScript on.

I wondered if google would join in. _That_ would get noticed, I hope.

iPhone site has a black banner, but isn't blacked out.

I completely failed to realise this earlier today

Yeah, man, that's really annoying. I'm gonna go complain on Reddit -

Oh, wait.

(Joke doesn't quite work because Reddit's not dark yet, but...)

I was just planning to use Google's cached version...but I might play along in solidarity, or something.

And that's the point-to show the impact SOPA and PIPA on everyone. This won't just affect Americans; it will affect people world-wide.

Yup.

tried to visit wikipedia seven times today already. If I wasn't in total solidarity I'd be royally pissed.
Rather, I donated immediately after reading about the blackout and may well do so again in the near future.

Block javascript, wikipedia is back up. Editing is down, though.

AdBlock rule for any URL starting with en.wikipedia.org and ending in .js works, too.

(You ARE using Adblock, right?)

Oh, I know it well, and have often been tempted to steal it. ;)

I've been using the pages in the Google cache as needed.

I suspect the world is full of kids clutching their heads and crying "Oh, why didn't I do my homework yesterday...?"
