Who are you two...

... and what have you done with my daughters?

My two daughters, [livejournal.com profile] chaoswolf and [livejournal.com profile] super_star_girl, didn't fight all weekend (with each other or with their parents), got compliments on their friendliness and good behavior at Saturday's party (from people who didn't know them, but still...), tried new food and liked it both at the party and at dinner out yesterday... and even got out of bed this morning without my having to wake them up! I'm beginning to wonder who pulled a switch on us.

Not that I'm complaining, you understand. Not at all.

Sony puts rootkits on CDs

Slashdot and BoingBoing both point to this article dissecting the rootkit that Sony installs in the name of DRM on their recent audio CDs. It hides registry entries and processes, and hooks into drivers and system calls, and creates a hidden directory. It's a rootkit -- one of the nastiest forms of malware out there.

It'll be a cold day in Hell the next time I buy a Sony product. Too bad for them; I was thinking of getting another pair of headphones. Anybody know of something roughly equivalent to the Sony MDR 7509's?
