Hmmm it seems Pournelle is still around. I haven't seen a web site like that since 1999!
Even though Byte is dead, their web site continues with Pournelle's column - he even wrote one recently about Boot Camp. Warning, visionary pearls of wisdom inside!
But IP owners would have you think otherwise. They want you to think that licenses are akin to the actual CDs that the media came on.
Well no. Software vendors clearly make the distinction that although you own the physical media (CD), you do not own the software. You are granted a license to use the software, subject to various conditions. If you don't agree to the conditions, go somewhere else! Pretty much every EULA makes that distinction.
Err I'm sorry I can't let that pass. You were worried about the potential problems of drinking regularly, so you did some research and came to the conclusion that GHB would be a better option? Where did you do your research?!
However well done for kicking it and getting past the anxiety problem too.
