A bit late with this, but it's not like I knew him! [ I'm pretty sure he'd appreciate that!]
I'm a big fan of 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown - and his humour was the main reason for that. I can't see how it can continue without him. Genius.

I never saw 8 Out of 10 Cats, but I saw him doing stand-up, and in a couple of other shows. A very clever and funny guy.

EULACHON - initial letters of ...
(Had to look up definition, never heard of candlefish.)
Software rusts. Simon Stephenson, ca 1994. So does this signature. me, 2012

Pipped by @PKFox, but correct. Well done!
To be fair, I hadn't heard of the word either, until it appeared in a newsletter from newsletter@howtogeek.com on 27th July which said
Did You Know?
The eulachon, a fish found in the Pacific Northwest, is a slender but very fatty fish known as the "candlefish" due to the way indigenous people would dry the fish and then burn them as a candle-like source of light.
It was the initial letters (EULA) that hit me as the idea for the clue.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

Rainy day for Woodstock. Just like the original, I believe. Rain and mud, lots of it.
Enjoy!

Looks like the rain has passed - maybe a thunderstorm in the afternoon. And yes, lots of rain and mud in the original, but then again, it didn't actually take place in Woodstock NY!

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

At least Talkie Toaster was doing what he was designed for, unlike far too many "smart" devices these days.

I've come to realise that anything with the word 'smart' in front of it, is to be avoided!
In the UK, some bright spark came up with 'smart motorways'. Yeh, let's take a motorway; make it a whole lot more dangerous; and call it 'smart'.
Even though I lost my faith in humanity a long time ago, I am still shocked by it's stupidity.
