A pisshead perhaps... I don't exactly conform to the others. Incidentally, I suspect my (british) interpretation of 'pisshead' is different to yours....
And I'd rather be comfortably sat at a desk typing code than spend my time shoving my hand up a cow's arse in the freezing rain, ta very much 
Stuff I write doesn't generally get pirated anyhoo, so it's no concern of mine. Very specialised market, and you'd need to be an ex-employee in order to get around the inevitable support issues, and even then there's not one person that knows 100% of any one system we sell (actually, that's a lie - we have one product which is known completely by someone, but that's <i>me</i> ). Not that that's deliberate of course, just what happens when you're only a small company.

Hey, it could be worse. He might have to milk the <i>one-uddered</i> cow <i>while</i> shoving his hand up the cow's arse in the freezing rain.

**ROFL** My stuffus doesn't get pirated either (or at least if it does, I don't care). So long as I get my paycheck I don't care what people do with my code. Besides, it's only used in an analytical x-ray crystalography market, so it's not like the scope of MS Word or something.
Still, I think wusy might have to be shot. Even if the rampant pirating wasn't enough to irk me, then he goes and calls us "fucckin geeky nerdy pissheads". And <i>then</i> we're "slaves for IT" and "have a strange atitude when communicating with other people" (whatever <i>that</i> means).
I think we're going to have to set up wusy with a steer, a cup, some KY, and a webcam. Then after the fact we can put the video to music and sell it on CD for $5. And all proceeds from the video will, of course, go to THG banner advertisements selling the video.

I'm sure our software licencing encryption is laughably easy to break for the sorts of people who crack M$'s stuff, but unless you:
a)run an Amusement Arcade/Casino type operation
b)have had some training from us on the system, so you know how to use it
c)have intimate knowledge of the System, it's database structure & Are pretty competent in SQL (for doing your own support, as obviously we won't support you)
d)Can crack the licencing (like I said, <i>comparatively</i> simple....)
..
Then there's not much point in it for you...

I'm not overly concerned, but being a small company we need the cashflow, so I would be most annoyed with anyone using our stuff for free. That said though, even <i>if</i> they could get hold of it, figure out how to get it installed, crack the licencing, and work out how to use it (Not <i>that</i> difficult, it's reasonably user-friendly, honest ) - all without any input from us of course.. Even then, they'd still need to figure out how to solve any problems they encounter (and they will... they <i>always</i> do... ).. So I'm not worried about it.

Seeing as he's just claimed to find it 'refreshing' to stick one's hand up a cow's arse, I suspect he merely needs some therapy. Shooting him is perhaps slightly over the top... unless it's shooting him <i>up</i> with something prescribed by his therapist of course

**ROFL** My software is kind of the same way. It might be user friendly, but there are actually several licenses to crack because it's comprised of so many different components, and it's a bit complicated to install for the same reason. Even then if you don't have the analytical x-ray crystalography hardware, the software really isn't going to do much since you can't run something that isn't there.

How about we shoot him with a tranq gun after loading the dart up with ecstasy? We'll see what he does with the cow <i>then</i>. And then shoot him with the webcam of course.
