The sun ejected the largest blast of energy and particles since 2005 and all of it is headed towards Earth. Monday NASA filmed the sun emitting a massive ultraviolet flash that combined with an eruption on the surface.  Sometime this morning the solar flares particles will hit the Earth and may cause certain flights to be rerouted, effect cellular communication, disrupt satellites in orbit and other communication interruptions.  It will also place more radiation on people, especially those in higher elevations, but not enough to be harmful - like say melt skin...

The truth is that there are many people who can explain this matter much better than I, although I doubt there is anyone that can explain it without bias. After reading a lot about it SOPA/PIPA appears to be a poor attempt to solve a considerable problem.  But this solution is really appears to leave open so many loopholes and answered questions that it scares the crap out of most of the internet.  I do think a lot of the reaction is overreaction, but their there is reason to be concerned. You cannot legislate and regulate the internet...
