When digital rights management (DRM) goes wrong, it can go baaaadly wrong. Imagine you're finishing your tax return when your computer fails, or you have to travel, or any of umpty-ump other reasons you might need to finish your tax return on a computer other than the one on which you started. Or imagine you're to be audited, and need to access tax data that originated on an older computer, perhaps one you don't even have anymore. Not a problem, right? You just load up the relevant data files that you generated with your legitimate, paid-for copy of your tax preparation software, yeah? Uh-uh.

Here's news! Sarah Kozer (foot fetish/bondage actress and Joe Millionaire
contestant/potential bride) was a philosophy major! Check out the news in
the (cleverly titled) Washington Post story,
A
'Joe Millionaire' Contestant Who Knows the Ropes, by Lisa de Moraes.
(TSG's archived the story now, in case you haven't seen the "Sarah Kozer
photos" and want to. No nudity. Quite probably okay to view at work.
Depending a little on where you work, I guess. Earlier
coverage
here.)

Grrr.
I'm having problems with my DSL connection at home, possibly due to the
death of a router in Kansas City (though I haven't ruled out something more
local in my own mind). Which means that the weblog won't be updated for
some time.
Of course, if you see this, my complaint is now (then, in what is now a
future time) null and void.
Grrr.
