Oh hey, I'd been thinking of trying to compile Python on it myself, this will save me a bunch of time.

You can get the older versions for free, legally. The only advantage this has is that it works on 64-bit applications too.

Yea. Basically, what it lets you do is take over functions and stuff in existing code.
void return1()
{
return 1;
}
I could then modify that with a detour to return 2 or whatever I want, inside the compiled binary.

You'd be really hard pressed to come up with an opensourced detours that works at all

The links no longer work (I believe the server was reformatted or something). Would be nice to get it working again...

Those few buyers are places like McAfee and Symantic, too, so they are willing to shell out the large sums of money for it.

They're highly specific limited uses that MS has spent a long time developing for, they need to recoup their development costs somehow.
Basically, it takes highly skilled labor to produce, therefore they spend a large chunk of change. There are few buyers, so they must charge a lot to make their investment back.

Supply and Demand kinda falls apart when your supply is near-infinite.
Edit: 600th post!

Memory usage is irrelevant for battery usage. At best, those applications take more battery because they're in general more CPU intensive.
Killing Explorer like this will likely save almost no battery life. For what it is, Explorer itself is very lightweight. Disabling things like Aero, Seti@Home, torrents, etc... will have 100x more effect than killing Explorer will.
You'd be better off sorting by CPU usage and watching what registers over a 30 second period and killing that.

It legitimately costs that much, mostly because there are very few places where it's worthwhile to use. Basically, you're using it for anti-virus or viruses.

You'll be dead before they expire, they still have 240-something years to go.
Also, if they were to expire, you'd just have to reset your options.

Is that for IRC logs? I didn't know OmnomIRC now used its own MySQL database.
The IRC logs are still using files, same as before. OmnomIRC is using SQL, because it was considerably easier than keeping track of things in files, and should yield higher performance over time.

two things were to blame.
1) It was burning through SQL connections like there was no tomorrow
2) There was a bug in the Javascript that caused it to crap out whenever a mode change was issued
