Someone went searching for "Stop SOPA" and discovered something brilliant from their typo.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

SOAP is no more the acronym of Simple Object Access Protocol since version 1.2

That's no excuse (and if you read the article you'd know that it acknowledges this fact).

Agreed, When i started SOAP around 2000, it was very simple. After that we for more into the awful WSDL 1 (WSDL 2 is better). But the number of WS-* and the different implementations that are all incompatible is just a nightmare.

I was thinking, Spanish people must be wondering, "what do all these nerds have against soup?".

Yep, every time I ask a non-nerd what they think about SOPA, they answer "Why, it's delicious!".

I'll admit to being completely ignorant about the benefits of using SOAP to communicate between servers. However I can say that for server->client communication it is the worse data representation I've ever had to work with and I genuinely hope we see the end of it. JSON maybe not be perfect, but it's so much better at delivering a structured data model then xml is.

You seem to be confused between SOAP and Restful XML Web Services? They are different...

So much efforts to stop law proposal X. Which is great.

What about the idea of a Open-USA or other Open-Iran where a true Meta-Democracy or whatever open society model is implemented where all efforts would be PRO something instead of hateful stuff like protesting.

This laws are proposed by lobbies that go against the interest of 99% of the persons. How is that even conceivable ?

All this big companies opposing could create a github project for open government and then elect a person that implements that.

I can totally relate to these two articles, having recently attempted to write a .NET SOAP client for a web service that uses the (non-standard) SOAP with Attachments method for sending binary data. For something that was created to provide simple interoperability, SOAP is rife with a ridiculous number of inconsistencies and competing mini-(non)standards.
