I really like your writing style, so I am entertained by some of the other commentators.

Useful observations and enlightening post! Thanks!

Comment on Stop SOPA. Stop PIPA. Also, why I’m not blacked out. by Sally

My bad. I wrote Al a polite letter, rather than a crabby one. Actually two letters, because I responded to his response. Mebbe I’m getting cynical, but I’m starting to think that Amy is just doin’ her own thing, and not paying attention to us.

It was the lack of due process part that really had me going. That, and I’m pretty sure that most of the legislators supporting this bill don’t know the extent of the monster they are unleashing.

I guess that last statement means I’m not cynical enough. It was meant to meant they is ignant.

That seems to be more or less what I'm doing, too. I mean, I'm sure I'll get some actual work done today, but easily 90% of my Internet interaction today has been about SOPA/PIPA.

I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit that what galvanized me to do this was realizing that both of my senators were sponsors of PIPA. I consider both of them to be reasonably intelligent people, and if they can be hoodwinked into supporting a disaster like PIPA, then we have a very real problem that requires action, after all!

I kind of like what Ars Technica is doing. They wrote a piece saying that they support the blackout, and stand in solidarity, but that blocking out their own site isn't right for them. And instead, they're going to spend the day writing about SOPA/PIPA. And nothing else.

I want flying cars. 3D driving will be a self-correcting problem!

@Ulf — I use Skype with its video-calling capabilities, on occasion, but I’ll definitely agree that I only use it at all because I can choose whether or not to turn the camera on. A videophone technology where the video feed HAD to be on wouldn’t be good at all!

I think the technology for videophones isn’t so much not developed as much as we don’t actually want it. I know there are people I call at times when I wouldn’t care them to see my dirty hair and jammies lol. I have friends who call me while they’re using the toilet as well, in which case I say thank god for no video phones.

I’ve always been amused by how much the internet resembles the Street in Snowcrash.

@MHA LiveJournal has lost critical mass and is no longer a viable platform, IMO.

I’m not picky, as long as you’re writing something! But if you want to blog and you like having some non-public material, why NOT use LiveJournal?
