Thanks!

Just a foreigner sidenote: we got the notice about SOPA and PIPA which does not start by defining, or even linking to what "SOPA" and "PIPA" is, what they are shorthand for, and background if anoone wants. It could be (should be) links on the same site, wikipedia style, as we always do. We raise awareness, so what about those who were not aware their existence at all?
I barely know "PIPA" for example, but obviously I'm "experienced enough" to look it up in search engines, but not everyone can.

Yeah, the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SOPA_initiative/Learn_more should link to those two articles (which are not blacked out) in the first sentence. (Dunno how feasible that is with the wiki read-only ...)

JavaScript, not Java :-)
It's not a hard, secure block. Basically it's a black, full-page ad banner. Think of "Wikipedia Blackout" as the event's name, a proper noun, rather than an accurate description.
