Title is from an mp3 that just happened to come up in my random media playing right now (/media/music/collection/shirley_q_liquor/funeral.mp3). Just a few thoughts...

I'm exhausted from the car trip.. but it was all fun. Apparently, cars need more than just oil -- my heater stopped working on the trip, and my dad diagnosed it to the engine coolant being low. Filling it back up fixed things, although he suggested I take it to have all the fluids changed soon. In the future, I'll know about that fluid too :)

Some bozos are suing Microsoft for security problems. Now, I'm no fan of Microsoft, but liability for buggy software is a very bad idea. First, it's really really hard to write software that's bug free, not impossible, but cripplingly hard, and secondly, they're doing their best. I mean, it says a lot that the OpenBSD Project and the OpenSSH Project, projects run by the most security conscious people out there, people who produce the products gratis and don't need to answer to market concerns, and who audit their code regularly for problems, both have had serious holes found in their codebases recently. When you watch 'specialists' stumble sometimes, you shouldn't expect others to pass with flying colours, and that's why microsoft shouldn't be liable. Someone recently wrote an article on why virii should not be fought with legislation or in court, suggesting that instead what they do is help keep the ecosystem healthy. It's an interesting argument, one I'll need to chew on.

I came across the strangest advertisement recently, in flash, for a Korean site called CJMall...

Oh, and here's a good site for people saying stupid things on the topic of Schwarzenegger's political run. Of course, it's not mentioned at all why these people think he'll do a good job, they're just dittoheads who find him attractive.
