There’s an interesting critique of Bill O’Reilly (host of Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor) over at Reason Magazine. Now, don’t get me wrong — Bill O’Reilly has a lot of common-sense ideas, but he misses the mark from time to time.

As mentioned at The Register, another cross domain scripting flaw in Internet Explorer has been discovered:
Possible exploits include elevating privileges, arbitrary command execution, local file reading and stealing arbitrary cookies. [the usual stuff, natch]
[...]
To guard against the vulnerability, PivX suggests that administrators should disable ActiveX scripting until a patch is available. [no surprise there]
[...]
Oh, and according to PivX (the people who discovered this hole), Internet Explorer is subject to 19 unpatched security holes.
If you’re an IE user, why not give Mozilla a try? Security and Open Source: two great tastes that taste great together :).

I’m still watching the Buffy Season 1 DVDs that Julie loaned me, but I see that Season 2 is now out on DVD. And, I’ve also come across this review of the Season 2 DVDs.
So far, Jason and I have only made through the first two-part episode on the Season 1 DVDs. To be honest, I wasn’t all that impressed, but I’ve heard that the episodes get better over time, so I haven’t given up on it yet. Or, as the review puts it:
Buffy, the Vampire Slayer really hit its stride in Season Two. The show went beyond just the “high school sucks and monsters are bad” motif and added deep metaphors with [spoiler], [spoiler], and the arrival of Spike and Drusilla.
