Hope you don't mind Minimalist but I edited your URL slightly because it contained your user id and displayed your full name on the page.

Pretty cool robot reversos there.

[Minimalist]

No problem, boss.

Were you able to access that one?

[Tiberius]

Yup, but that might be because I have my browser set up fake my IP.

[Minimalist]

If I'm not mistaken, under SOPA that would have been a capital crime!

[Tiberius]

Probably.

They still have to be watched like hawks, though.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Yielding to strong opposition from the high tech community, Senate and House leaders said Friday they will put off further action on legislation to combat online piracy.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said he was postponing a test vote set for Tuesday "in light of recent events." Those events included a petition drive by Google that attracted more than 7 million participants and a one-day blackout by the online encyclopedia Wikipedia.

House Judiciary Committee chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas, quickly followed suit, saying consideration of a similar House bill would be postponed "until there is wider agreement on a solution."
