Programmers: Ever have someone ask you for help with your software and...
 

They were never supposed to have it in the first place? :1orglaugh

How do people have the audacity to ask you for updates and help with software you coded, that they didn't pay for and were never supposed to have? Isn't that like calling Microsoft and asking for tech support for a cracked copy of Windows? hahaha

Anyone else come across pathetic losers like this? :disgust

Nope, but if you're selling software you wrote, please let me know :)

is your army of AOL chat bots getting away from you?

:1orglaugh that's pretty fucked...

used to happen all the time to me. if it's a server app, code in a rm -rf as well as something to clean out their mysql and send them this special version. those are also fun to release to all the warez kiddies.

dude.. just tell me how to get them all to connect and ill leave you alone.

i bought it fair and square.. im sorry it wasent from you.. but that dont change the fact that i paid for the damn thing

I left the instructions in a deposit box on the corner of walk and don't walk, meet me there in 10 minutes, but go alone :warning

Wow, that's pretty much the definition of 'shameless' ..

:1orglaugh :thumbsup

I hate when people do that shit.

This allways happen. We do custom software, people will pay a fixed price, then say no when a support contract is offered, year later will get a call from them saying some thing is not working because they upgraded some thing etc etc.....its nuts and in adult world its worse.

If we ask money at that point (becuase we have to go back to the old code, it will be a developer by now etc etc) then they get upset.

Adult is one industry that dose not understand the basic bussiness model of software enginering. If I had a doller for every time i heard "My guy can do this in 1 day" i will be a rich guy
