Funny enough being from the UK I don't recognise the US government, which means I don't recognise there laws, so therefore if this does get past I would recommend you move to a European host, and tell the US to go swivel. Tim Berners-Lee invented the internet (WWW), the Americans implemented it. however they certainly don't own the internet because of that, I think the US are over stepping there international boundaries with this idea, they have no right to this, hopefully this will stay in the US and everyone will just go international leaving the american internet dead.
the U need to stop protecting companies with outdated business model in the 21st century. Pirating will still happen as SOPA will only offline URLs not IP addresses, oddly enough i think Torrent users are quite aware of IP addresses... anyways...

Today is they day guys, let's hope for the best.

Always have and always will, can't agree with you more. Hopefully their citizens can knock some common sense to their government

Hi, I would like to help stop this evil SOPA and PIPA but as a UK resident I cant do anything, this bill would change the internet as we know it, and is yet another restriction of our personal freedom. I hope that it doesn't get passed. Hope Ron Paul is successful too.

Welcome to the internet, where we don't care about your wealth, status, colour, or what you have done for your country.
What we do care about is respect, and you clearly have none. If I were you I would take the advice of a previous post; log off for a bit, realize that respect is given where respect is earned, and it's certainly not earned by being a **** to someone who was only trying to help you out.

For starters EVERYONE DESERVES RESPECT!, and people are pissed with the way he spoke to someone with only 1 post not me so educate yourself in future before running your mouth
Andro I treat people the way I would want to be treated online and off. This isnt the first thread you flamed some complete nub, for whatever reason sometimes its best to leave the clueless as is. Now with that sid I love you man, most of you input on these forums is solid and constructive. A little less of feeding the trolls is what I would like to see is all and I understand sometimes that is difficult to do.

I'm serious but not in the way you think. I whole heartedly believe censorship is wrong. However we are kind of at the mercy of whomever owns the board we are posting on. I'm all for free speech as well as tolerance. But you can only have that between individuals on a personal neutral level. You can say anything you feel and it wont offend me. The moderators on the forum in charge of censoring are a different matter. If that makes sense.

Agreed but you and I both know the name of the game and that's moolah, cash, dollar dollar bill y'all. Facebook wants to sell ads. They can't sell ads to you if your on Google+, so they don't want anyone advertising it on their site. Its kind of incredible on Facebooks part. As if banning Google+ posts will make us all forget about it. Horrible PR decision on FBs part. But I'm also a fan of chaos and mutiny. So my view may or may not be reliable.

Pathetic.. The RIAA and MPAA are in the Titantic and it has been sinking for awhile now ($$$).. yet they want to try and suck all the water out of the ocean (internet).. in a last ditch effort to survive.
As far as those companies who initially supported SOPA and/or PIPA and later backed out under pressure.. you are not forgotten

They never said it would be released today 29th they just said they would provide an update on the 29th so it could be released next week or even next month.
So why start another thread.. just makes more work for the mods. We have a very active thread on the matter and our own forum mod Veyka even made a sticky for the discussion of JB update. It would make sense to post in one of those. This does nothing but clutter our forums.

You should get your facts correct before posting. Nothing was ever said to be coming today. If you choose to believe rumours thats your fault but there is no need to spam XDA with pointless crap like this thread.

There was a rumor across XDA that it may be released today, and most people believed it to be true.
So what if people want to believe it, it doesn't hurt you. People have every right to believe what they want and shouldn't be ganged up on for doing so.

You guys have lost me. I am not a girl but I do have 2 daughters. And besides what does this reference of "why is your name not green" have to do with me making a thread about a eBay seller selling refurbsihed xperia plays? I don't get the connection and don't know if you guys are just trying to be immature on my expense, meaning are you two attempting to make a joke of me? If so then I do not appreciate it, I merely saw the deal and thought I would share so those who may be interested could look into it. If I am wrong and this is not an attempt to make fun of me then clarify the reference in regards to my name not being in green.

Hmmm, I think the first poster was asking why you haven't been awarded a "Recognized Contributor", title (their usernames appears green in a PC browser... Like TLRtheory). Because you're always telling the community about good deals and new news.
Not sure about the second poster, maybe trying to be funny?

I looked up TLRtheory on the xda site from my laptop and I do see his name is in green. So perhaps thatbis what they meant. I have not been contacted and offered to have myself listed as a recognized member. I always thought that was for devs who make roms and whatnot. I have next to zero programming. But I do strive to share anything I feel is noteworthy or for those why may be interested in it. I don't do this in hopes of any reward. I do it simply because I feel as I have no way to make a rom or whatever that its my only means of giving back to this community. Because truthfully this community is awesome. I have learned a ton here and have nothing but gratitude and appreciation for all the mods, devs, and basically everyone being a good sport and working together to help one another. I'm just a regular Joe doing what I feel I can do to give back by any means. And sharing any games, apps, news, and deals is what I do. So anyways sorry for that long chatterbox but just want people to understand why I share things like this.

Sorry I wasnt upset by it just didnt understand the reference, and sometimes it can be difficult to understand when someone is making a joke when your reading it an not hearing or seeing their expression. I have had times when people have been mocking me on here, not lately, when I thought they were kidding only to find otherwise. So if I over gunned it a little I apologise but I just didnt understand what the reference was to. Now I do. So if I bothered anyone for my previous posts then I apologise.
Now..... dont know if the ebay seller is still selling these refurbed XP but has anyone purchased one from the link above?
