Unfortunately, there are too many people that still do not understand what SOPA/PIPA are about, and simply complain about the loss of Wikipedia. See, for instance, #herpderpedia, listing reactions by many clueless teens. It's disappointing how none of them spend the time to actually read the notice. Washington Post has an interesting article about the Wikipedia blackout.
I think what is really needed is to get all the big name companies together and sponsor research into an alternative to DNS that can't be touched by any government and you can't sue for trademark infringement.
And, of course, Congress passes another stupid law like SOPA making that illegal as well. Good luck having technology be uncensored by the government.
I currently use Flagfox, which provides an icon next to the URL bar with a handful of useful features, including being able to access whois in two clicks.
Name.com opposes SOPA and calls on Congress to search for a new way to protect intellectual property rights, while maintaining the freedom from which we all enjoy and benefit.

Honestly? "Stocky"? What is wrong with you cowards... She looks fine in her picture with Zuckerberg.
She looks perfectly fine. Too many people like you promote the development of anorexic models.
Coward, post this with an actual account.
It's been long known that Facebook does this, after the EU required that Facebook must send DVDs to users requesting info about their accounts.

I'm offended at Google's immaturity. Minors aren't allowed to have a G+ account, right? Then what's the problem with someone flipping the bird?
Jesus, Google, grow the fuck up.
Unfortunately, it's quite simple to bypass the 18+ rule during registration. Google still has the same issue.

There is on most forums; the poster probably didn't realize we use flat-out HTML.

I personally recommend Name.com; they have a nice, clean interface, and they're giving a discount for transfers from GoDaddy with the code "NODADDY".
