something tells me the SOPA bill and the NDAA bill are written by the same person. as the bills' pretty much work together with each other.

I know.
The big part is because ANYBODY can modify the information, so it's not reliable.

wikipedia has been reliable for me, they got bots that detect changes and revert them within seconds, and some pages are even locked
if you read something like bananas only grow in africa, then it's pretty obvious it's false. :s

anyways, im glad wikipedia is protesting it.

You're supposed to use the reference links at the bottom, where the real information is

One day? That's a pussy protest.

I don't know if the legal system works this way (and what I'm about to say is remarkably shortsided, I have only a few minutes on the computer ATM), but it should should stay down until the bill is scrapped or something.

It's actually not.
It's a big organization, it has an affect. Just like a postal office or w.e shutting down for a day. Makes a big impact, just maybe not you in specific.
