Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I like "Kid." I'd pick that up off the shelf to see what it was about.
The BF is at Track Day for the Motor Press Guild, of which he is a member. It's at Willow Springs, a pretty famous racetrack, and all the press guys get to race expensive new cars and get a fancy lunch and free car-related stuff.

The United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) is a part of the Department of Homeland Security that is charged with the task of "protecting the nation's Internet infrastructure" by coordinating the "defense against and responses to cyber attacks across the nation."

US-CERT recommends the following ways to help prevent the installation of this type of rootkit:
Do not run your system with administrative privileges. Without administrative privileges, the XCP DRM software will not install.
Use caution when installing software. Do not install software from sources that you do not expect to contain software, such as an audio CD. [emphasis added]
Read the EULA (End User License Agreement) if you do decide to install software. This document can contain information about what the software may do.

Homeland Security. Huh.
Do we need to invade Sony?
When did Sony start this?

Wow. I'm so glad that the Department of Homeland Security offers such intelligent recommendations to protect our nation's Internet infrastructure. We'll have that moon base any day now!
