As I noted previously the Sci Fi Channel planned mini-series, On the Seventh Day has a plot that shared many similarity’s with Phillip Jose Farmer’s Dayworld. Locus Online reports that Farmer's agency, Ralph Vicinanza, has issued a notice to USA Network protesting this apparent copyright infringement. They also note that Sci Fi Channel is developing Farmer’s Riverworld series for television. 10:48:45 PM     Egypt’s Prime Minister is trying to backpedal from comments he made the suggest Egypt would go to war against Israel if they were paid $100 billion. Apparently being anti-Semitic is done for free. 10:16:08 PM     AMD’s 64 bit processor, formerly codenamed Sledgehammer, will be called the Opteron. Microsoft has announced 64 bit support for the processor, while Linux support already exists. Who thinks up these names? 10:07:04 PM
