This is NOT good.

Quote:On Thursday, the Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously approved a bill that would give the Attorney General the right to shut down websites with a court order if copyright infringement is deemed “central to the activity” of the site — regardless if the website has actually committed a crime. The Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA) is among the most draconian laws ever considered to combat digital piracy, and contains what some have called the “nuclear option,” which would essentially allow the Attorney General to turn suspected websites “off.”

200 students on a University of Florida business course admit to cheating on an exam, after being called out on it by their professor.

The professors response to this.... offering a makeup exam and no academic punishment to those who come forward before being outright discovered, is pretty cool on his part, considering how obviously annoyed he is.

The ending actually made me cry

Still it is a good anime and I recommend it.

B: "Have you forgotten so soon? They're phasing out Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

Just what it says on the tin. Enjoy.

According to Sankaku Complex, Ken Akamatsu is starting a free manga download site for out-of-print titles, and he's using Love Hina as the test content. It isn't up yet, so I can't say whether any translations will be available or it'll just be the Japanese run of the manga...
