Or you can read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SOPA_initiative/Learn_more where it says

Is it still possible to access Wikipedia in any way?

The Wikipedia community, as part of their request to the Wikimedia Foundation to carry out this protest, asked us to ensure that we make English Wikipedia accessible in some way during an emergency. The English Wikipedia will be accessible on mobile devices and smart phones. Because the protest message is powered by JavaScript, it's also possible to view Wikipedia by completely disabling JavaScript in your browser.

If you are linking to a Wikipedia article from a search engine, all you have to do is hit ESC right after clicking and the page should load and stop before the java script. Works in Chrome.

"Pro is to Con as Progressive is to Conservative"
I find that very insulting and will notify the Moderators.

:lol:

I just saw this!

I'm very much not sorry that you are offended by a turn of phrase, I can only hope that your skin grows thicker considering there was no attack made on you and what I put under my name has absolutely no affect on you.

Cheerio

PS
To clarify the meaning, pro, as in "being for" is the opposite of con, which means "being against." I was not implying that conservatives are all con artists; all politicians are con artists.
