SOPA and PIPA are slowly losing support, the protest yielded results

SOPA and PIPA are slowly losing support, the protest yielded results

Controversial U.S. anti-piracy laws, known by the acronyms SOPA and PIPA lost the support of eight members of Congress after major protests by the Internet community.

Support was denied, among others, by Marco Rubio of Florida, a rising star of the Republican Party, and his party colleague Roy Blunt of Missouri - who were among the signatories of the bills.

The free encyclopedia Wikipedia blocked its pages in English for 24 hours, and the blog service WordPress and the news service Reddit did the same. Google called on users to oppose censorship, and Firefox painted its front page black and put black tape over its mascot, the handcuffs. More than 7,000 sites joined the protest.

PIPA, the Protect Intellectual Property Act, had a good chance of being passed in the Senate, the upper house of Congress, but that is now uncertain since Rubio and Blunt announced that they are no longer behind it.

The SOPA proposal instructs Internet search engines not to publish foreign sites with pirated material in the search results.

Such a provision, however, is not found in the PIPA law.

Even if both laws go through the congressional procedure, they will probably be vetoed by US President Barack Obama.

The difference between Sleep, Hibernate and Hybrid sleep options

By Administrator
What is the difference between regular Sleep mode and Hybrid sleep mode? And what is Hibernate ? I will try to explain in the simplest way possible so that everyone understands nicely. 1. Sleep When you select Sleep mode , all components of the computer except RAM are shut down to store data. So, if you do something on the computer and press Sleep, the computer shuts down and everything you did (left open windows, documents, etc.) is stored in RAM.

That green progress, at least upstairs, was filled with incredible slowness , which annoyed me. I searched a bit on the net, I concluded something myself and came up with a simple and effective solution. You will not need any program or complicated settings for this, everything is easy.

Image of 1.74 giga pixels

In the picture of Barack Obama 's inauguration on January 20, 2009. you can clearly identify each person individually in that mass of people. Click 2x anywhere on the image. Use the zoom on the left to zoom in on the selected person and wait a few seconds for the image to focus. That image was taken by a 174-megapixel robot camera. That's 295 x the average 5-megapixel camera.
