Why don't they hire full timers? Seems as if these are really long term projects.

They do, they just don't pay as competitively as the private sector. I'm guessing that devs at JSOPs company make a bit more than I do, but have to deal with the private sector BS as well as the DoD requirements.

are you making money from devexpress libraries? if so, is it more than 499? if so, what's the big deal? pay the f***ing 499 and call it a day. price of doing business. no brainer.

Use DevExpress Office API and make PDF instead of reports. You may supply a word or excel document as template and just fill it. Way better than reports.
If you want to stick with the reports way, then i guess you can pay the price and update, otherwise next time you decide to buy it, you will pay the full price.
In general Reporting is an important piece in a LoB application, you know, printing invoices, other documents, etc. - so the paid tools, no matter the producer/manufacturer, are usually far superior than free ones

Take a good look at the license terms; IIRC when DevExpress subscriptions expire you can keep using the last version available at the time of the expiration indefinitely 
Any time I looked at the alternatives, I found that the time spent in migrating and tweaking and fixing the open source equivalents was way more expensive than the DevExpress' retail price.

I've used devexpress reports in the past, and found the to be
1. superior to anything else I've seen so far
2. thus worth the price (which includes support, and their support guys are really doing a good job)
I only have a signature in order to let @DalekDave follow my posts.

What, aside from the text that says "This is a very early alpha version not intented to be used in production environments", and the fact that it hasn't been migrated off the now-defunct CodePlex site? 
There's a forked version on GitHub[^], which was last updated in 2016. The "alpha / don't use" warning is still there.
It doesn't look like there's anyone actively working on it.

Another flaw hits Tapplock smart locks, thanks to leaky server | ZDNet[^]
leaky company's API server....MAC address and converts it using the MD5 algorithm....
Who architects these solutions , who test them ...where are the standards ?

Wow. These folks shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a security-oriented business. I can't believe (according to the article) unlocking only requires an obfuscation (by MD5) of the MAC address. That's a criminally stupid design.

They probably got the code from QA or SO ...

And, double wow. How are these folks in business? Bad technological security and bad physical security as well...this product simply has it all.
A lock you can disassemble with a screwdriver. I guess at least its not a tool-less disassembly?

What do they mean "continue"?
If they ever did that they wouldn't be having these problems in the first place

There are a lot of security trends to monitor, and they are starting from the beginning.
It shouldn't take them long, they have reached the point where the door key has been invented. Coming soon: the door lock.

Indeed. I hear it is not just a brilliant encryption algorithm, but an excellent compression system as well!
