I'm just gonna assume this article meant they had semi automatic rifles. It seems to stress the semi automatic weapons part when every single cop in the country has a semi automatic weapon on him every single second that they're on duty.
15k is right about in the middle of the range of billboard advertising rates for a 4 week ad. Actually seems a little low to me if it's gonna be in a city as big as Austin.
Guy Fawkes was the terrorist of the day but so were the founding fathers over here in America. They are now celebrated as symbols of standing up to repressive regimes much as Guy Fawkes is celebrated today.
People in sparsely populated states have far to much a voice using the ridiculous electoral college. One person one vote, plain and simple, there is no need for the electoral college at all.
Has nothing to do with this article, just happened to be here when I was watching NBC nightly news. Opening of their story just called SOPA the stop online PRIVACY act. Haha.
If anyone hasn't noticed you can easily get around Wikipedias blackout by stopping the pages from fully loading. Just thought I'd throw it out for those who still wanna use it today.
Blackout is live and can easily be gotten around by stopping the page from loading completely. Good news for those of us that already know SOPA sucks but still want access to Wikipedia.
Idea sounds great unfortunately it seems like even if they do it it's not going to be a blackout at all. Just a page you go to first and then can continue on to the site. Better than nothing but I'd really like to see a full blackout not a page most people are barely gonna look at, think nothing of it and continue on.

Harold and Kumar has been online for weeks. Make your own queue and go find it.
Re:
Fewer movie tickets sold but more dvd's/bluray/streaming
Less physical recorded music sales but more live music and streaming music and itunes sales
Business models are changing, piracy isn't overly hurting anyone.

My head hurts from reading the crazy shit pro SOPA people keep saying.
Re: hey
Ever seen Fox News? It's a network dedicated 24 hours a day to touting a political stance.

Re: Re:
Pirates internet isn't gonna change at all. Pirates are one of the few groups who are gonna barely be touched at all by this legislation.

I am very glad Wikipedia decided to join in. They will get far more attention than anyone else.
