19:02:39 <nathanbp|work> Kinda surprised at no SOPA blackout on Penny Arcade...
19:03:52 <Puyopuyo> I'm pretty unimpressed with the blackout as a whole.
19:05:12 <Pipian-Work> It's mostly just Wikipedia soooo
19:05:21 <nathanbp|work> oh? I'm not sure what you expected?
19:09:19 <Puyopuyo> Fun with Wikipedia: I run NoScript
19:09:26 <Puyopuyo> "What is everyone talking about? Wikipedia works just fine!"
19:09:30 <Pipian-Work> I do the equivalent with Chrome
19:09:30 <Puyopuyo> "Sam, turn on scripts"
19:09:31 <Pipian-Work> Usually
19:09:49 <nathanbp|work> Yeah, the Javascript based blackout seems a little silly
19:09:49 <Puyopuyo> "...oh. Wow, that's not much of a blackout if I didn't even realize it was going."

19:16:30 <Pipian-Work> This 
19:16:33 <Sacchi> Twitter
19:16:36 <Pipian-Work> is the best response anyway
19:17:23 <nathanbp|work> That is pretty great
19:17:50 <Pipian-Work> Personally
19:17:53 <Pipian-Work> This is my favorite
19:17:53 <Pipian-Work> https://twitter.com/#!/cyberbully42069/status/159485779620544512
19:17:55 <Sacchi> Twitter
19:18:09 <nathanbp|work> ....
19:18:26 <Pipian-Work> It is fairly accurate
19:19:46 <Puyopuyo> Wow.
19:19:49 <Pipian-Work> Also https://twitter.com/#!/TheREALmrPaTRoN/status/159521155680710657
19:19:50 <Sacchi> Twitter
19:20:22 <Puyopuyo> Pretty good explanation of how no one understands what's going on.
19:20:28 <Puyopuyo> Er, example
19:20:40 <Pipian-Work> It's an example of the prime directive
19:20:43 <Pipian-Work> People don't actually read
19:20:45 <Puyopuyo> Yup
19:21:14 <nathanbp|work> I think you mean "People that use twitter can no longer read things longer than 140 characters"? :P
19:21:17 <Pipian-Work> MSPA's implementation is pretty good though
19:21:40 <Pipian-Work> Weaved it into the storyline
19:21:55 <Puyopuyo> I don't think they could ever read, Nathan.
19:21:57 <Pipian-Work> Also
19:21:58 <Pipian-Work> http://theoatmeal.com/
19:21:58 <Sacchi> TheOatmeal.com blacked out in protest of SOPA / PIPA - The Oatmeal
19:22:02 <Pipian-Work> This is also great
19:22:03 <Puyopuyo> It's all about soundbites!
19:22:15 <Pipian-Work> And more indicative of the problems than any other site has accomplished
19:23:04 <Pipian-Work> Especially in the skewering of the media industry's real problem.
19:23:20 <Pipian-Work> (JUSTIN BIEBER/THINGS-BLOW-UP 8)
19:24:01 <Puyopuyo> How many people actually visit the Oatmeal who aren't smart enough to have heard about SOPA/PIPA already though?
19:24:08 <Pipian-Work> Exactly the point
19:24:11 <Puyopuyo> I liked Robocop 4: Roboharder
19:24:16 <Pipian-Work> Yes
19:26:03 <Puyopuyo> Er, 8
19:26:25 <Puyopuyo> It's a shame that the sites that are best conveying the problems are the ones normally accessed by those already in the know.
19:26:34 <Puyopuyo> I mean, Reddit? Sheesh, most redditers already know about it.
19:26:39 <Puyopuyo> Wikipedia? People just don't read.
19:27:51 <nathanbp|work> I dunno, I suspect the Wikipedia blackout is fairly effective at getting people to call Congress
19:28:30 <nathanbp|work> Where fairly effective is indeed some ridiculously small percentage, but that's still a lot of people considering how many people access wikipedia every day.
19:28:37 <Pipian-Work> Well
19:28:51 <Pipian-Work> If there were ostensibly 3 million signatures on various petitions about it previously
19:28:59 <Pipian-Work> Even assuming a uniqueness of 1 in 3
19:29:15 <Pipian-Work> That's still 1 in 300 Americans educated enough to actually take a stand
22:28:42 <Pipian-Work> So by the by
22:28:57 <Pipian-Work> Were you guys aware that we're going to be getting a Blu-ray re-release of Manos the Hands of Fate
22:29:12 <nathanbp|work> No, I can't say I was
22:30:23 <Pipian-Work> Some guy found the workprint of Manos that was going to be thrown out
22:30:33 <Pipian-Work> And is getting it digitally remastered in HD
22:30:34 <Pipian-Work> http://www.manosinhd.com/
22:30:35 <Sacchi> 'Manos' in HD

22:32:21 <Puyopuyo> ......
22:34:07 <Pipian-Work> Guy has literally gotten attention from a number of big names for it too
22:34:46 <Pipian-Work> e.g. https://twitter.com/#!/ebertchicago/status/142037923213230080

22:35:09 <nathanbp|work> Nice
22:35:42 <Pipian-Work> Oh
22:35:53 <Pipian-Work> And one of the MST3K guys also is aware of it
22:43:54 <Puyopuyo> Nice!
