The round ballers in Oz are insisting that their game be called football, it competes with Ruby, union and AFL for the name, should have left it as soccer.
US football = tanks on legs maybe.

Time for a football lecture.
Games called football (Association Football (Soccer), Rugby Football, American Football, Australian Rules Football) all share a commen ancestry as a game played with a ball on foot, not with the foot.
Anyone who has witnessed the traditional Shrovetide football that still takes place will see very little contact made between foot and ball.
Australian and Association formed at roughly the same time, when the rules of Association Football were drawn up a number of members left the committee when the ability to hack an opponent was removed from the laws, and the right yo catch the ball and take a mark very nearly made it in too.

Damn that's a big ol boy!
If he's offense just give him the ball, who's gonna stop him?, the whole defense!
If he's defense you better be sure you can outrun him.
Run bubba run!

It is not difficult to stop them.
The fatal flaw is charging him (upper body), you wont win, need to take the legs, just like rugby......
Hell, i'm only 6' @ 74Kg...I'll take him on.

Take the legs...
...and hope he doesn't come down on top of you.

If you do it right, then he will fall forward and you will be off to the side.
If you do it wrong, well then it's your own fault.....and you will regret it, but learn.

Use the express editions, they are free.
Otherwise if you work for a small business that meets the BizSpark guidelines, you can get VS2013 (and a lot of other MS products) for free.
You can also look at upgrade pricing if you have an earlier version.
|
|
|
|
|
Never pay for anything you can get for free. 
|
|
|
|
|
well... let's see... if you're a student you can get discount pricing... if you're a professional and have an employer, then your employer should pay for it....
Otherwise, yes... it's too damn expensive...

The Microsoft Technology Action pack is £300 (in the UK) and for 3 people, and you get Windows, Windows Server, SQL Server, Office, Visual Studio etc etc with it. Pretty good deal, especially if you can split the cost with two others.

But the licensing is sh!t by the looks of things;
"These licenses may not be used for direct revenue-generating activities (such as website or email hosting, or custom solution development for monetary compensation)."
Only really for internal systems and training / demo purposes.

Find a VS2012 reseller who offers a price below that of the MSRP, then upgrade from 2012 to 2013 for the $99 price?

I think we might be seeing to rise of a new business model - somewhat akin to patent trolling.
It's easy.
1) Set up a not existent shop, selling non-existent products.
2) Include a non-disparagement clause in your lengthy ToS.
3) Aim for poor customer service and bad online reviews.
4) Sue 'customers' over said disparagement.
5) Profit

Since they had gotten a refund and returned the product, there was no sale and the contract is void.

Pah! Petty details like this are not for trolls!

I remember reading an article on drudge report a couple of years ago about an online retailer with horrible customer service in Brooklyn NY
They did that on purpose, because people would complain and post bad reviews about them, and there site landings would go through the roof, and sales just kept rising higher and higher.
So the more negative reviews they had, the higher the sales went. Go Figure.
