Out of the Blue

This was one of those late evening updates that became an early morning update, thanks to what Stan Lee would call the Dreaded Deadline Doom. So, 90 minutes = one day. Excelsior!

A couple of folks have written in to point out the Launch Links dealie was busted... I actually busted out the JavaWrench and fixed some JavaScript myself, in spite of being somewhat of a JavaMonkey. Should be working now, though who knows what sort of JavaWreckage I've left behind...

Play Time:	The Ashlee Simpson Lip-Syncing Hoe-Down. Thanks Jim.
Links of the Day:	Just Coffee Art.
Stories of the Day:	Feds: Obesity Raising Airline Fuel Costs. Thanks Ant. Awesome power of Iceland volcano.
Science!:	Researchers Develop Plane Guidance System. They weren't guided before? Cloning of flies is latest buzz. Finally a solution to the fly shortage.
Image of the Day:	Hubble spots triple eclipse on Jupiter.
Auctions of the Day:	X-Wing Fighter replica and R2-D2 Replica. Thanks XEON.
	Thanks Mike Martinez.

from artists and programmers to workers who package the final product yup, the majority of "piracy" comes from the inside. At Sega back in the mid '90's, the guy in charge of preparation of all the gold master game CDs before they were sent out to the glass master mass duplicators (he ran the high-end commercial duplication equipment which could encode, decode, dupe and burn any and all tracks on a CD and spit out dozens or hundreds of copies in minutes) would regularly stay late and run off extra copies of new games for friends. Occasionally he'd bring in audio CD's and dupe a few copies as well. Copy protection? no problemo dude!
