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?

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.

For non-UKians, a Motorway is called an Interstate in the US.
And a "Smart Motorway" takes the emergency lane (or "hard shoulder" in the UK) and uses it as a regular traffic lane to increase traffic flow - ignoring that it's there to provide a "safe(ish) refuge" when you break down, and to allow emergency services quicker access to the accident that was caused by using the emergency lane but forgetting that it doesn't exist when you go under bridges, through tunnels, ...
People who live and work in big cities and use public transport / walk / cycle everywhere shouldn't be allowed to create traffic policy ...

Boston MA does this as well. It may not be the stupidest idea for traffic policy, but it's certainly a contender for the title.
Here's a visual -- speed limit is 55, most traffic is doing 65, my exit is coming up, and an idiot is riding the shoulder doing 85 and he flies across the exit lane. If I hadn't seen him in my right side mirror, it would have been really ugly.

Basically, it's like countries with the word Democratic in their name?
If the word's there, the concept isn't.
