9. August, 2002 - Is it Friday yet?

Some mornings, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps. -Emo Philips
Fax.com fined $5.4 million for junk faxes. They think their first amendment rights are being trampled. I think they didn't get fined heavily enough. [strib]
Edsger Wybe Dijkstra 1930 - 2002. R.I.P. [scripting]
Phallic, oozing Lollipop gets parents all hot and bothered in Singapore. The Fr-ooze pop comes from the US, but I'd never heard of it here before. If you squeeze it just right and suck on it, it'll spurt in your mouth. Oh baby. [fark!]
Salon.com's When neighbors attack! (premium content) points out that if you call TIPS to snitch on someone, you actually get an operator from America's Most Wanted. Apparently they already had the infrastructure in place, so.... [boing boing]

Labor Union Supports Bush TIPS Plan, and here I thought the Teamsters were a good union (in the kicking the shit out of anyone who gets in the way of Teamsters sense). Guess that'll learn me. [flutterby]
Apple to Slam Lid on Mac OS 9, probably in January 2003. [some guy]
Oh, and to the guy (or possibly gal) busy googling.... I still don't have pictures of Julia Roberts' Tits. Sorry, man.
