harmlessincFast and dirty links today - too much to do at work while not having gotten much sleep last night.
You want Cute? You can't handle the cute.

This is for one particular person out there who seems to have a thing for baby animals...
For the rest of you, I expect photoshops of the animals as sushi.

Fear destroys what bin Laden could not
http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/news/columnists/13487511.htm
This is a little old but needs to be read:
"Bush stokes our fears, implying that the only alternative to doing things his extralegal way is to sit by fitfully waiting for terrorists to harm us. We are neither weak nor helpless. A proud, confident republic can hunt down its enemies without trampling legitimate human and constitutional rights."
Is string theory in trouble?

Ok, I have to start making up for the animals link, this is part one of my penance.
"But the inventor of string theory, physicist Leonard Susskind, sees this “landscape” of universes as a solution rather than a problem. He says it could answer the most perplexing question in physics: why the value of the cosmological constant, which describes the expansion rate of the universe, appears improbably fine-tuned for life. A little bigger or smaller and life could not exist. With an infinite number of universes, says Susskind, there is bound to be one with a cosmological constant like ours."

What happens when you don't plan for or invest enough in the future?
"The other shoe dropped with the emergence of Netflix as a major online competitor for what remained of the rental market. (Blockbuster turned down the opportunity to buy Netflix for a mere $50 million, instead entering a disastrous home-delivery deal with Enron.) Netflix signed up over 3 million subscribers by 2005 by offering DVDs that could be kept as long as renters liked for a monthly fee. To compete, Blockbuster had to do away with its single biggest profit-earner: charging late fees to customers who kept videos past the due date. It also had to invest millions of dollars in a copycat online plan."

Just want it sounds like, have a read and make your own decisions. Personally I'm finding that NOD32 is a nice choice.

This one made my head hurt after a while so it gets special treatment.

"Vote for The Best Web Games of 2005" Come on, it's Friday afternoon, you're all taking this time to slack off from work. Except maybe benchilada, I'm betting he always slacks off.

"Free sterling silver jewelry."
Odd as this may sound, people give stuff away online. Many of you have already found Woot.com, so here is something different.
If eBay isn't enough crap for you
http://www.shopgoodwill.com/
That's right, eBay hasn't cornered the market on selling cheap junk people don't want online. Now there is Goodwill as well.

I'm still trying to sort out the Rob Zombie, Kenny G crossover this thing shows. Other than that it's a neat little toy.
Internet Movie Script Database (IMSDb)
http://imsdb.com/
Kinda like the unloved half-brother of the Internet Movie Database...
That's all for today, sorry for the often repeated lies about another update being right around the corner.
