What are the free development tools used by these shareware authors on the Mac platform?
Last I herd, the cheap dev kits for windows didn't exist in Mac versions and the kits that do exist for mac are expensive.
That area is a little murky at best. On one hand they can claim copyright to whatever they wrote and hence tell you what can and cannot be done with it.
On the other hand there was some mention early this year (during the cucat fiasco) of a section in the postal code prohibiting such restrictions on stuff you send unsolicited. But alas, that's a snail main regulation.

When is this lame hypocritical troll going to die?
Most of the shareware I see on Winfiles and TUCOWS were developed using massive expensive development packages like Visual Basic, Visual C++ etc...
I know developers who spent less than $1,000 for the development environment they use. They are either students living on the popular "educational discounts" or using the free development tools like GNU. The rest are using pirated software.
QT's "educational license" is the Free edition (read the license for VB educational package. You can't sell shrink-wrapped software developed on it"). There is no point in trying to compete against pirated software. If your stuff is better they will just pirate that instead.
The real test is; Has anyone seen QT for Windows on a Warez site yet? I haven't been to one of those in years so I wouldn't even remember where to look.
PS: The "Troll" I speak of is your coment. Not you. Or the software company by that name.
Was it The Amazon management who claimed for years that they had to grow the customer base wide enough before they actually started charging more per book than it cost them to supply.
Or was it the critics who claim that the moment Amazon started charging profitable prices the customer base would vanish because there is no such thin as "a good location" in cyberspace.

No. What it dose is make them look like lame second string scam artists with a misdesigned product but who are trying to make a profit off you before you find out. Neither Goodyear nor Ford dose this. Someone selling tracks for an SUV is technically in between those 2 corps.
No prices anywhere."You can own a set of Mattracks for roughly the price of an american-built motorcycle, or half the price of an SUV."
The 1st version of my post actually included that comment. Why? because it's almost meaningless babble. Which SUV? A Suzuky Jimni or a Mitsubishi Prado? Or maybe one of the high end fords? Worse yet I have seen adds for Harley Davidson bikes where one costs 3X the other.
This smacks as simply not wanting to be legally bound to any price so they can sell it to different people at different prices. Note that's different from discounts where you have a published price and allow some clients to pay less.
No ecomerse (acceptable since this IS a big investment)....No links to anyone who dose Ecomerse (Hint: If they offer reseler status to anyone that caries a variety of vehicle stuff then that 3rd party would handle almost all the Ecomerse risks and headaches.

Those pore fools at ford.com. Wasting all that money on this massive web site from which nobody will ever buy.

"Find a dealer" link inadequate.You missed the part with their mailing address and telephone number, as well as the form where you enter your phone/email/fax and ask a salesperson to contact you. Jeez! Try picking up the phone and calling them, or have them call you. Get off your computer once in a while.
Bogus argument. Something written on a web page is legally significant. Just like any printed document. However whatever BS a sales rep tells you on the phone can latter be denied. This is why I want it up there. There is no real reason to not include the prices. on anything. And don't even pretend price isn't important as many wanabees do.

To clarify what Radja said. Rich people don't actually need life insurance. A lot of them have lots of insurance but the troth is they don't need it. Let me explain.
The whole point of Life Insurance is so that if you die suddenly your children, spouse and other dependents will not be left hungry and homeless. They will have a big lump some which if managed wisely can substitute for having the breadwinner active and about.
By this logic you need less insurance on your wife if she is a full time homemaker than you do if she has a high paying job. Remember, insurance is not a way to soothe emotional distress or mend a broken heart. It's just for filling in the financial loss.
This BTW is why classic cars like the 1963 (or thereabouts) Ford Batmobile are not really insurable. Even a brand new Bentley is no substitute.
Back to the topic. If you can find $40,000,000 cash at one time then you should give all your kids fat trust funds. Leave the life insurance for the man who makes $30,000 to $200,000 per year and has a $1,000 per month mortgage and school fees, car payments etc... to ensure he doesn't save more than 1/3 of that.

However what tends to happen is that someone lives on a patch of fertile farmland which his family has maintained for centuries and suddenly someone else has a war and steals his entire crop 3 years in a row. They burn his fields and the surrounding forests which according to meteorologists reduces rainfall.
Other people dam the river that fed his field etc...
This all actually happened and what it dose is that what was a comfortable middle class village in Somalia or ethiopia 50 years ago is reduced to a few fathoms below abject poverty.
When aid workers actually arrive they tend to find people dying of starvation hundreds of miles from home because they went searching for some kind of life and found the whole country a barren war ravaged wasteland without the usual stored crops or working irrigation network to keep you through the periodic droughts.
