If you want to download anything off of an official Napster server, you better do it tonight, because according to ZDNet, Napster will start blocking files based on file names tomorrow. There is supposed to be over 5,600 songs on the black list, so odds are most of the big-name stuff will be gone. Now of course, mis-spellings will still be avaliable, but it makes it harder to find stuff. Never fear though, since OpenNap is avaliable. Go download Napigator and browse all the OpenNap and other various servers avaliable. Not to mention all of the other media sharing devices like Cute MX, Scour Exchange, etc, etc. And if you're still desperate, there is always the old school way: IRC and FTP.

This was in the newspaper today, and online too, about how NASA is cutting development of the X33, which was supposed to replace the space shuttle. I remember watchign some show on the Discovery Channel about how this thing was supposed to revolutionize space flight, but I guess it was never meant to be.

Seti@Home is currently down due to a optical fiber cable being cut. So if you're having trouble connecting to the SETI servers, now you know.
