So, here's how it works. You set Windows Update to patch the shit out of XP so no malware can exploit the myriad of security holes Microsoft keeps discovering. Then you buy a CD manufactured by Sony which requires that you download software so you can play the damn thing on your computer. Unfortunately, said software works in the same way as most malware does, embedding itself in your system so that one can not easily strip away the DRM-scheme. Guess what happens next?

From the, "keep saying it and maybe it'll become true" file: President Bush forcefully attacked critics of the war in Iraq on Friday, accusing them of trying to rewrite history and saying they are undercutting American forces on the front lines. Of course, by re-writing history, he really means "set the record straight." Do I really need to comment on this?
