Hello, I've seen the following ted talk: http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/rory_sutherland_life_lessons_from_an_ad_man.html

Brilliant! that was well worth watching!

I wonder how would you market Pascal/Lazarus (according to the lecture) to people to use it ?

Diamond Shreddies... Enterprise Pascal (ok, you might eat into Delphi with that...)
Guarding potatoes... sell monthly/yearly subscription to access latest/most robust sources. :)

ok, so we need to:

- add a registration dialog, that asks for a serial/registration number/key
- upload it on Rapidshare, together with a key,
"Download Lazarus (with serial key) from rapidshare"

Or:
"Get 90% off, when downloading Lazarus now"
"Download Lazarus, and get FPC for free"
"Lazarus special offer: two for one"

Sad as it is. I put my old camp tents on my verge with a sign "free to good home" a month or so ago. After a week they had not gone (does nobody go camping anymore?). My father jokingly suggested I put a sign on them "Camping tents, $25 each" and they'd be nicked. So I did, and they were.

Maybe its about perceived value ?

Dolphins are so intelligent that within a few weeks they can train Americans to stand at the edge of the pool and throw them fish.

No, of course not. They were "stolen".

I am right now reading a funny text which says:

CONTEMPT OF WHAT COMES FREE
What is offered for free is dangerous - it usually has a trick or a hidden obligation.

Probably yes, but the price has assigned him an idea of "value".

yes, you're likely correct... i hope the OP put a note in them that the thief would find later that said something like, "you idiot! these were free for the last week and no one wanted them for $0! hope you enjoy them anyway ;)"
