I'm going to leave the interpretation open[1], but generally speaking, after reading the recent SOPA blackout headline, I realized that I regard Wikipedia as an indispensable tool in my life as an engineer, and I feel that it would be sorely missing in the event of a blackout.
Do other HN members feel the same way, and if so, what sorts of things are you doing to prepare for a day without Wikipedia on Wednesday?

Big thanks to Wikimedia for giving western internet users a chance to meditate on the chilling effects of legislation like SOPA and PIPA.
