Ah. So why is it I could get a bug fixed in gcc within a day? For free.
In ruby also. Half a day.
Try get that written into your MS Visual C++ service contract.
Personally I think the "Rules of Economics" are pretty dodgy things.
There was a guy way back when who argued that since natural resources were
limited, the supply would be going down as the world demand went up. Thus
by the "Rule of Economics" natural resources commodity prices should have
been rising steeply for the last many years. He bet that the Law of Supply
and Demand was going to get clobbered on that one.
He _heavily_ won his bet, they have been dropping year on year for many
years.
Only now as we near "peak oil" has this changed.
You see, the rules of economics are very short sighted and subject to many
iff's and but's.

"Things only ever go right so that they may go more spectacularly wrong later."
From this principle, all of life and physics may be deduced.
