Blackouts

Seems like tomorrow is "Voluntarily screw up the Internet day". Wikipedia is going to shut down for 24 hours. And I just noticed that BakaBT is going to suspend their tracker for 12 hours. So don't get freaked if all your torrents suddenly turn red.

2 Luckily it seems Google won't blackout, just place a big sign in their homepage.

3 I didn't notice anything changed with Wikipedia until I turned off my script blocker.

Is that what's going on? I was just about to post that I hadn't noticed any difference in Wikipedia.

But I routinely run with a pretty heavy-duty Javascript blocker. And Wikipedia works normally for me. (Another win for Proxomitron!)
