E: "Did they... did they just endorse the combination of the JSDF and US Army by showing them as two lesbian lolicons moving in together and holding hands and talking about how 'intimate' they were?"
B: "Have you forgotten so soon? They're phasing out Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

As Terr may have seen me post, I frelled up this morning, and water got spilled on the lappy. As a result, I am, to quote Gordon Ramsey, "In the shit". It may be hours, days, or months before I can get on COH again. As we speak, I'm trying to persuade my desktop to start working again, but things on it are slow (though I did find a way to restore my USB capability).If I can get this to work, I may be on again tonight.
I also have a new cord for my old laptop on it's way to me. It should be here in a few days.
If both of those fail, I will have to piecemeal restore my desktop, which could take months.
I'll try to keep you informed.

I want to give a box set of "Nanoha A's" as a Christmas gift, but it appears to be completely out of print everywhere on line. If anyone happens to spot one in a local store, at US$35 or less, please let me know so we can broker a deal. Thanks!

I am of two minds about the Wikileaks excitement this past week. On the one hand I am concerned about the damage to the US the release might cause. On the other, I remember the honored examples of the Pentagon Papers, Watergate, and other whistleblowers, and the duty in a free society that the press -- and any other concerned parties -- has to make sure the government operates with transparency.
However, regardless of whichever way I end up navigating between these two opinions, I am unarguably opposed to the outright acts of censorship the US government is imposing on the information and Wikileaks itself. As you may or may not have heard, US pressure has forced the site off of at least one host so far, and has also forced its DNS to remove the entry for Wikileaks, to keep readers from getting there. (I suppose I should note that such reactions only encourage me to embrace the second of my two positions, as they only undermine any moral high ground the US government might try to claim...)
Fortunately, this is the Internet, and we have ways of thwarting two-bit bullies when they attempt such strong-arm tactics. There has been a massive backlash against the US-backed censorship. Like other groups before it, the US government is discovering that trying to quash something it doesn't like only results in thousands of copies of it popping up in more places than it can throw its weight around in. Of particular interest is a suggestion (that many are following) that folks around the world add a subdomain to their sites that points to Wikileaks.
There is also a Twitter tag for people interested this and other censorship circumvention methods.

Closed the account today.
Nearly 100,000,000 influence given away.
The very little free time I have is being spend on some new comics and a major project that should be going online soon.
