Two things
Nov. 10th, 2005 10:40 amIf you've bought a Sony-BMG cd of late, you might be infected with their copyright-protection software. I found a list of CDs known to have this software on them, and there is an article about it on today's Circuits section of The New York Times. Sony-BMG says the program is not malicious, but they've gone through the trouble of making it invisible to your computer and your anti-virus program. Backdoor, folks, backdoor, and it's already been abused: the first trojan to take advantage of the 'rootkit' program from the cd. If you've bought Sony-BMG CDs, especially those listed, I recommend you go to their website and use their program to uninstall this malware. Oh, they're not calling it malware, but you better believe it is.
Second, I had a dream that I was sleeping in a bunkbed that had a curtain pulled over the top bunk and I pulled it aside to see my brother, Darryl, fussing over what looked like a gray-and-green wetsuit (the zippers were the kind of heavy-duty, huge-toothed ones you find on wetsuits). I was about to tell him not to be so upset about it as it would make him most resemble Space-Nerd Wil Wheaton (Wesley Crusher, to you ST: TNG fans), when he blurted out that his Halloween costume was ruined. I asked what he was supposed to be, and when he told me, I was glad I hadn't said "Space-Nerd" about his costume.

Nov. 10th, 2005 05:09 pmIn need of diversion? Tell me from whence these lines have come:
(Note: I won't post which have been guessed here, so don't look at the comments and let's see who gets the mostest!)
1. "Cookies need love like everything does."
2. "You wanna become a cheerleader to prove that you're not a loser?"
3. "I knew a guy who had two members on the same body, dated him for about a half hour, got so exhausted."
4. "Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue."
5. "You know what they say about women and trolley cars. There's plenty of 'em in the sea."
6. "Everything in this room is eatable. Even I'm eatable. But that is called 'cannabalism,' my dear children, and is in fact frowned upon in most societies."
7. "Congratulations, you are still alive. Most people are so ungrateful to be alive. But not you, not anymore."
8. "Reports of my assimilation have been greatly exaggerated."
9. "Last night, Darth Vader came down from planet Vulcan and told me that if I didn't take Lorraine out that he'd melt my brain."
10. "Don't ever call me crazy, Alan. Ever. 'Cause everyone in this town has called me crazy ever since I told them that you were sucked into a board game."
11. "Oh, they're hopeless--a disgrace to the forces of evil."
12. "We've met before, but something tells me you're going to remember me this time."
13. "A diversion." (note: No, you do not get any more than that. If you need more, you are not geeky enough to read this LJ)
14. "I've been meditating on the very great pleasure which a pair of fine eyes and the face of a pretty woman can bestow."
15. "Hee hee, 'Get her.' That was your whole plan. I like it--it was scientific."
