Life put on-hold - DUmp offline.

Democratic Underground is OFFLINE.

Democratic Underground is offline from 3am EST to 9pm EST Wednesday January 18 to protest forthcoming Internet blacklist legislation known as SOPA and PIPA.

The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) proposed by the U.S. House of Representatives and the Protect IP Act (PIPA) proposed by the U.S. Senate have the potential to severely cripple the free and open Internet. Democratic Underground is proud to join the many websites taking part in today's action to protest these bills by blacking out our site between the hours of 3am EST and 9pm EST.

To learn more about these devastating bills, and for information on how you can help to stop SOPA and PIPA, please visit the Electronic Frontier Foundation's Action Center.

STOP THE INTERNET BLACKLIST LEGISLATION!

Wikipedia is closed for 24 hours - the DUmp can only cope with 18 hours.

How will the poor DUmmies cope? One can almost hear the cries of pain as they emerge from the basements and experience direct sun-light for the first time in years.

I can sort of see Wiki going off line as a protest, though it's pretty weak.  It's far from the only place to get info, after all.  But a place like the DUmp?  No one with any power will even notice!!   :rofl:

Who's selling tickets to the "Great DUmmie Withdrawal"? I'm not usually into pain but today, I want to see some pain. :-)

So that's why nads is taking the day off.  Not by choice.

Anyone here want to bet on the over/under time before she posts?  I've got 9:00:30 PM EST.

MrsSmith without Wiki the collective intelligence of the DUmp completely dries up.  No sense doing a Nadine if there is no answer forthcoming.  It would be a lot like asking "if a tree falls in the forest and there is no one there to steal the wood" or something like that. :-) So with the collective intelligence gone the DUmmies become like the infamous Borg Cube.

My dear BEG,

I forgot all about that aspect (or maybe I just blocked it out as being too horrifying to contemplate).  Any guess on where the DUmmies are on the withdrawal symptoms listed below??

Quote

Early symptoms of withdrawal include:

•Agitation
•Anxiety
•Muscle aches
•Increased tearing
•Insomnia
•Runny nose
•Sweating
•Yawning

Late symptoms of withdrawal include:

•Abdominal cramping
•Diarrhea
•Dilated pupils
•Goose bumps
•Nausea
•Vomiting
