   bad link

   Sounds interesting, but your link goes to a story about Sprint billing.
   
   P.S. what are you doing posting at 3 AM? - there might be a connection between that and the bad link :-)

   Re: bad link

   Nope. The original link was good. The site just recycles links. It's now been fixed... Thanks for pointing it out (and thanks to the three people who emailed me about the bad link as well...).
   
   Can someone tell moronic newspaper sites that recycling links every few hours defeats the purpose of the web. If someone wants to pass on a link they've just made their site useless.

   Ah, but it keeps you from deep-linking to their stories...

   Well, I doubt MSFT *wants* to do this...

   Microsoft is pretty much required to do some DRM if they want the content providers to make content available for their platform. Disney, the RIAA and so on have no problem at all in coming up with new, worse, formats that don't play on standard computers. (I'm sure the RIAA would love to take your money without even delivering the song :)).
   
   At any rate, I don't see why anyone complains about DRM. It's so utterly trivial to get around (sound recorder anyone?)...
