A classic for sure.
I'm gonna have to re-watch that movie at some point.

I am thankful for our troops, but I often think of this song regarding the consequences of war.

True, as is Bob Dylan - Blowin' in the Wind (Official Audio) - YouTube[^], sadly.

But the troops have been sent there and have to survive and have little opportunity to think about a Bob Dylan song
I am ashamed that others risk their lives for 'me'.

Yes, they've been sent in harms way unfortunately, a time when this is unnecessary, it seems is a delusional thought.

"Me" in quotes is right, because they risk their lives for deranged neocons, something that has long been bipartisan.

'They' risk/spend their lives in ww2 when I was not yet alive. And I thank all of them

True, though WW2 likely wouldn't have occurred if the US hadn't intervened in WW1, tipped a stalemate to the Allies, who imposed draconian war reparations on Germany, leading to the Weimar hyperinflation and the rise of Hitler.

do not be ashamed. you misunderstand being blessed.
There are men who go into dark places and make the evil fear, and for sure there is evil. And the evil needs to be put down.

Where do I enlist? Catchy Tune. Must investigate AC/DC.
|
|
|
|
|
Non native English at that side, please elaborate
|
|
|
|

Your English seems fine.
AC/DC is Australian. I assume their English is swell mate.
The site is by a Ukrainian. I do not know his English proficiency.
"that side"? What side is that?
As for elaboration I can only assume "Where do I enlist?" may be of some confusion. It asks where do I sign up to the military so I can fly those fantastic machines just like Tom Cruise does.

Which part of the Do Not Copy setting do you (or I) not understand?! Does it not apply to web.config files?

Thank you, I feel better now. As you were.

No, it doesn't, because it's an integral part of the ASP.NET framework. The thing no workie without it.

Correct, but I do not need it to overwrite the copy in production with the copy on my development machine, even if there are changes.

OK, so that's Publishing the app. Click on the file once in Solution Explorer and change the "Build Type" from "Content" to "None" and change "Copy to output Directory" to "Do not copy".
If that doesn't do it for you, there's another way to exclude files from the Publish, described at Excluding Files and Folders from Deployment | Microsoft Learn[^].

Software is a product.
Much like TV, automobile, washing machine, etc.
The latter are tangible while software is intangible but that is not an important difference.
Once upon a time, when you bought a software, you paid one price for it, no matter how many persons in the purchaser company used it.
Then they decided to charge according to the power of the processor the purchaser company used. This is like saying you have a larger living room and so the TV is higher priced.
Then they decided to charge price/user. This is akin to the price of the TV or washing machine being dependent on how many persons are in the household.
Now, Oracle has gone one step further and its Java licenses are based on the number of employees in the purchaser company, including janitors or messenger boys they may employ. If a customer refuses to accept the new terms, which yield hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars more in revenue to Oracle, Oracle is threatening an audit of those companies to determine if any of the contractual terms are violated by the purchaser. Companies have sprung up to assist the purchasers in questioning the findings of these audits.
What makes software different from common household goods such as TV, automobiles, etc?
What justifies differential pricing based on number of users?
Other than the greed of software vendors.

Thankfully it only applies to Oracle OpenJDK, which is essentially Standard Edition. I'd be surprised if any large companies continue to use it, at my last place I had a migration task to move all JDK installations from SE to the Adoptium OpenJDK versions. Took me all of about a day and probably saved the company a lot of money since the company was international and had a lot of employees. I suppose the only companies interested would be those specifically wanting the Oracle support, but is it worth the cost? I don't think so.
Some other platforms do similar things where they charge different models based on the size of your business, either by the number of employees or the average annual revenue.

My question was:
Should software be priced differently than ordinary goods? What is the justification for it?
The production process is similar. An automobile manufacturer has a design bureau to design a new vehicle; production engineers to manufacture the vehicle; test engineers who test the vehicle for safety, compliance with various laws, etc; and a marketing and sales group to advertise the new vehicle and sell it through dealerships; and a service organization that coordinates warranty repairs through the dealership.
A software company has senior developers who design the software; development engineers who write the code; test engineers who test the functionality of the software; and maintenance engineers who perform fixes when errors are discovered. The production process is far easier as one has to only copy hundreds of CDs as opposed to an automobile where several body parts have to be pressed out of sheet metal; the body has to be welded together and painted; the engine has to be cast and machined; the transmission has to be forged and machined: and the entirety of parts have to be brought together in an assembly line to be assembled into a complete vehicle.
But an automobile is not priced on the basis of whether it is a single user vehicle or to be used by a family of six.
Why the difference then except that the software guys have the customer by the gonads and are willing to squeeze hard to extract money?
