sylvarAnti-Flag will take a few months out of its socialist-propagandizing schedule to help a shoe company reach the teen market this summer.
A bit snarky, I suppose, but the article later mentions that For Blood and Empire will be coming out in March, which makes me happy. I just hope RCA knows enough not to put DRM malware on the CD.
On the subject of DRM malware, why on earth is it Windows' (and possibly Mac OS') default stance that anything put in a CD drive should be treated as autorunnable data? I'd love to be able to tick the box for "Treat all media in this drive as audio-only, and if there appears to be a data track, use a dialog box to ask whether I want to open the data track."

Date: 2006-02-14 06:54 pm (UTC)I've been in the habit of disabling autorun on my system since i started using Windows95. It really is psychotic... It's not like malicious software delviery upon boot is a new concept. The 70's and 80's 8-bit computing days were full of viruses and trojans that did that sort of thing.
Oh, and Microsoft never learns. While they've moved away from going with unsecure defautls for all the OLD features in Win2K that XP has, they just introduce new features that of course have very insecure defaults.
I call it job security.
