I think that depends on how you personally handle diplomacy. I can tell you that diplomacy nowadays is mostly just talk with no action. That is how diplomats and ambassadors are trained these days. However, it used to be something like this: "Here are your options: A) You do want we say, and B) If you do not like it, we will bomb the crap out of you." :) It was done with more tact of course, but it achieved results much quicker and better.

+ the hospitality ;)

But it's also being able to understand bad situation and take decision instead of our country really fastly... People like that are respected people. The ones that died deserve national funeral.

It'd make a website like B-T illegal to visit and share documents on. I really hope this stuff doesn't get passed through congress. I don't like how they could violate my privacy because someone claimed I infringed upon a copyright.

Even though I agree with you on the annoying part: "website like B-T illegal to visit and share documents on". Fact remains that protection of IP is more and more of an issue each year. Stronger protection system is needed if we want to run business with out something like: EU developer makes something, then Chinese steal the tech, mass produce the product and make the original owner incur great losses. Besides the fact that every one is suing every other company for infringement, better global laws are needed.

I do not know if you would call this news, but Rocksmith sure has a way with making commercials. I know the demographic that they are trying to reach here, but it is not doing anything special for the non-K-ON! fans out there. Do not get me wrong here; I like K-ON, but I think that Toyosaki Aki is not exactly the best person to be advertising Rocksmith.

Nico Nico Needs You! to translate for them, that is.

Personally, I get the feeling that this might backfire on them...

Yeah not doomsday today. It should take part at 11:11 GMT. Well I am GMT+2 so it counts as tomorrow. But even so isn't this a reason to celebrate?
I mean don't let this galactic alignment "eclipse" slip by you. Not every day you might get to feel the center of galaxy eclipsed by a tens or hundreds of suns.
According to mayan calendar interpretations, this ocasion marks the beginning of a new ? thousands years cycle, it would be way better than new years eve.
Happy galactic birthday!
