Point to a "you need to fix your computer page?" is brilliant and obvious. Darn, why didn't I think of that!

Bad idea.
Do you know how many fake "you have a virus click here to remove it" malware pages are out there?
How is your average user supposed to know the fbi's site is real.

The entire DoD network is one massive honeypot. All the real data is sent by carrier pigeon.

Damnit man! Why did you let them know?! Now I gotta figure out how to armor the pigeons so they're not shot out of the skies... How tiny do they make bullet proof vests? Maybe I could use a swallow instead. Does anyone here know the air speed velocity of... Never mind, I'll figure something out.

Will you figure something out in Africa or Europe?

It is not like this issue is something covered on Fox and MSNBC and CNN.

Ever since 2008, elections aren't won by ignoring the internet, and Obama of all people knows it.

Not to say this is all idle campaign talk. I have high hope that whatever we end up with won't be the end-of-democracy-as-we-know-it bill we have now. It might not even be as bad as the DMCA, and the internet survived that one. But it'll still be bad legislation, because the very principle behind it is trying to solve the wrong problem the wrong way.

As flawed as the DMCA is, it still has some give and take. It has safe harbor clauses that actually helped sites like youtube to operate unhindered. SOPA is completely one sided.

If you look like your driver's license photo -- see a doctor. If you look like your passport photo -- it's too late for a doctor.
