We'll have that moon base any day now!
HEY!
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

HEY!
Sorry, sorry. I should have said, "We'll find those Weapons of Mass Destruction any day now!"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
When did Sony start this?
BoingBoing gives a convienent timeline: [link]

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.
That howl you are hearing? Is coming from my brother in Alabama. He'd LOVE that. Currently, he has to pay people to get to race his own car (but he gets insurance credit as it qualifies as driving instruction. Even though the brakes caught on fire and he popped several hoses loose. The track people told him to warn them he was coming next time, and they'd get extra extinguishers.)
Mmm, steak for dinner. Making lists. Lists keep me calm and ordered and reasonable.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
When did Sony start this?
This article in the Register says "...the Sony DRM malware has been out on the market for eight months...."
The BoingBoing article says the number of titles known to be affected is now up to 52.

Do I watch last week's OC, tape over it, or forward past it to start taping something else?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
The BoingBoing article linked to a list of infected CDs.

But the Sony thing only affects PCs, right?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Jilli!
It's cold here. Well, my feet are cold at any rate...

It's been reported as infecting Macs, too.
