I think that if you can name a site that comes close to what you have in mind it will be much easier. Anything from "lightweight" CMS or portals to WordPress can do all sorts of things simple or complex.

Google Wants a 2.25% Cut of Every iPhone Sale

Looking to earn back some of the $12.5 billion it’s spending to buy Motorola Mobility, Google sent a letter to the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers looking for a maximum 2.25% cut of sales for phones that use Motorola’s technology, including Apple‘s iPhone.

Eventually we will get back to sharing via snail mail. Someone has the download you want? he will burn a copy and mail it to you  ;) or better yet a whole new USB key 'protocol'   :P

I have never thought that these temporary gains are good in any way, with the current system we are doomed. However, I still believe the power to make the radical changes is there, they are just not exercised. So as long as there are the type of people delivering, just as an example, tonight's US primary results this planet has no chance.

Reason for emphasis is that people, not just some faceless corporations, are paving the way for this mess (again citing tonight's votes as an example). You can't even say money rules, tonight's winner has the least amount of money in the bank.

What you are saying is true but the defeatism won't improve anything either. By saying and thinking what you posted they have really won, our apathy (or similar sentiment) is and has become their greatest weapon. And also, we can not keep on living thinking that all of us can be bought and there is no chance of "true democracy".

I know nobody needs to read my political one liners again  ;) but...

We are still the ones voting for these people. These who did and tried, will try again, will hide it under other bills, etc.

I don't do the torrent and music downloads because I don't believe in that type of stuff but this way different.
 
Some good comments there, one by "Casey Wollschlager" sums it up one and for all.

So, like anything else that i buy, i paid $60 for it, now i own it and can do whatever i want with it.  I can agree that if they put an easy to understand label on the package that says that it is a one time use purchase and it will not be transferable, i will make my buying decision based on that info.  Regardless, i can't support developer's complaints that they don't get paid from the used market.  Who does for any product?  My example is going to be a ford mustang...  I buy a new mustang at the ford dealership.  Ford makes $3-4 thousand from the purchase.  2 years later, i sell it to some guy and make some of what i paid for it back.  Of course, Ford makes no money.  2 months after the guy buys it, it needs a new door handle.  He pays $75 at the ford dealership and ford makes some money(Hey, it sounds like DLC to me).  The point is, if your original product is worth anything, DLC will be of interest to everyone who buys it whether it is used or new.  If your business model doesn't make a profit on the first dsales, then you need to sell a better product.  There is a secondary market for almost every product that exists.

Thing about these GOTD programs though as I'm sure many of you have found, is that they can't be reinstalled after a system trash.  Have also found that the reg codes on some programs have mysteriously vanished due to over-aggressive registry scrubbing; my fault I guess.  Best action, of coarse, is to just buy the program at a discount which is often offered.

Thanks, trying it tomorrow, haven't really used SCC much but this possibility and some of the newer features mouser has added make it even more intriguing and attractive.

Thanks, will use it (or may be other image mapper?) if nothing else is found. Imagemagick might be an option too

General Software Discussion / Adding text to an image

Initially thought this may have a place in coding snacks but not sure if it fits so I am just opening the thread in General Software.

Using an offline tool, user provides an image (like soccer pitch jpg attached) and chooses a combination of rows and columns (4, 3 or 4, 4 etc.) then a list of names (perhaps a csv list provided by user or even a manually entered one) that are dropped one by one into the cells to output a jpg.
Exaggerating a bit, may be this is like a watermarking tool but one that supports more than one string.

Any ideas? TIA
