Cats and filters and wizards

What's the truth about cats landing right-side up?

Requiring pornography filters for library computers can be within the purview of Congress, the Supreme Court ruled today. The majority felt that as long as adults could ask that the filters be removed for their use and libraries could do so, free speech was not infringed upon. That could be a little chilling, I suppose, and in practice I suspect it won't work, particularly when budget cuts are forcing libraries to reduce staff; what library has enough help to go turn the filters on and off?

Speaking of books, I confess I own one of the 5 Million copies of Harry Potter sold on Saturday. I'm only up to chapter four, though, and if anyone tells me anything beyond that I shall be furious.
