BTW: Can it still be called abandonware if there are newer versions out? Isn't it just if the owner stops developing it all together?

Arguable, I suppose.
I'd say if they change the licensing and activation significantly enough that you can't use an old version, it constitutes a new product. Again though, IANAL...

Serious Magic did that to us with DVRack when Adobe bought them.
Luckily, enough people screamed loudly enough that Adobe came out with a standalone activation tool for us to unlock our software if we had to reinstall or whatever.

And they wonder why people pirate their software.
PSP was the bee's knees, before Corel took over. Even I don't use it, any more (except for on one machine that has an X11 license), and it was one of my major tools.
I'm not willing to give them any more money. The trouble is that it will take an awful lot of people to react the same way, before they truly realise that they've screwed it up.

You did. I saw you!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I know what you coded last summer.

The code beautifier

It was the software source control software of course. Which bad option do you use?

Ah, see, there's an off-by-one bug in the code, so it thought you used the -e (elephant) switch. Try using -g next time and you should be fine.
|
|
|
|
|
You forget the f switch now needs the u attribute to be unobtrusive. Next time try -fu.

Did you seed Griff's reply?

We will need a flowchart 
If it is formatting related -> VS
If it is running, but doing the wrong thing -> Management
If it is running, but not doing what the user expects -> User (Clearly)
If it is failing to run because environment changes -> IT Staff
If it fails to compile -> MSFT, for changing the language again (so hard to compile 16 bit C code)
If the code is missing -> Git/SVN
If it fails to make any sense -> That's on you!
Remember, this stuff is easy because it's "Soft" ware... LOL

Serendipity - Eureka - Shazaaam!
See what asinine things you can do and wait around for the Google map car to come by and enshrine them!
Hell, man, what in the world could be better than you pictured standing uselessly in the street hoping Google will drive by! Beats "going Viral on YouTube any time!"

It's a matter of (warning: cliche!) taking it to the next level.
Planning an act and awaiting Google mappers for documentation. That's the power of social networking at what will be looked upon as "at its best".

Whilst perusing Google street view at the house I rented two years ago, I came across a view of a local man I knew standing facing a white-washed wall, his back to the street; pretty clear he was relieving himself. I debated whether to tell him that he had become immortal, but decided against it.
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

Atomikylä - Risteily[^]
Some psychedelic black metal with members of Oranssi Pazuzu and Dark Buddha Rising.
If you're a fan of mentioned genre and/or bands it doesn't get much better than this.
Of course, the chances of such people being on CodeProject is rather slim 
This is for the 1%
