I haven't done a Daily Link List in a while, but there are a few things I wanted to share.

• Via Thoughts of a Technocrat, we've got the best Microsoft KB Article every, Computer Randomly Plays Classical Music.
• From the Secunia Blog, we've got an interesting chain of letters between Secunia and Autonomy in which Autonomy repeatedly threatens legal action in an attempt to prevent Secunia from releasing a security advisory.
• An interesting write-up from Gadi Evron on taking down spammer on ZDNet's Zero Day Blog. I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Gadi for  a couple of hours and get his insight and thoughts of various things... he's a very interesting guy to talk to.
• RSnake wrote an interesting post on why PCI is Good for Business.  There was a response that PCI sets the Ceiling Not the Floor... I don't know if I agree that it sets the ceiling, not the floor. You could say that some companies chose to accept it as a ceiling, but at the same time it's also a floor for them.... A minimum bar is set that they have to get that... whether or not they go higher is there choice... before numerous companies wouldn't have even gotten to the point that PCI is setting.
• Lastly we'll end with some humour, Via the SC Magazine Newsteam Blog, we've got the dumbest criminal of the year.
