> I can't rely on OSS as a pillar of my business.

'professional' people don't need $10k to be your personal bitch on a 3 day deadline. if you asked me, i would hang up the phone. not even worth the oxygen to respond, because you don't even exist in my world.

try cold calling a corporate lawyer, or surgeon, to do that. the realistic price is more like $50k, and anyone with half a brain or a shred of personal dignity is going to ask for it up front and with no contract.




My point is that there's a price. It doesn't matter that it's high. Just that there is one.


That's sort of a useless point. For, say, a billion dollars, most people would do just about anything. That's not very useful.


there is most definitely NOT "always a price". a person's time is their own. take your bs and bugger off.


there isn't always one. some people are rich, remember?


So you just get off on it?
