RE: hard disk code (OT'ish)

"Protection schemes should be there to keep the honest people honest." 

This reminds me of a conversation I overheard in a local coffee shop.  One
fellow was talking about an application he had been using for a couple of
years (side note: it seems that the longer someone "owns" an application the
more willing they are to "share") and the other fellow asked if he could get
a copy of it.  It didn't sound illegal at all!  The first fellow said, "well
sure"... Then paused and said "oh wait it has a protection scheme that only
allows two 'seats' and I've already got those committed... Sorry".

One more (OT) point...  My car has these things called windows (not M$) that
can be broken by someone determined enough to get into my car and steal the
stuff...  But I still lock it before going into a store because that will
keep out "all but the most determined thieves".

Cheers,
