Re: Self Destruct code

I back up Chris' comments about the legality of self-destructing code. Sort out contractual issues with lawyers. If you want to 'limit' your system until you get paid, what about deliberately putting a limit on a column in MySQL, e.g. the key column is a TINYINT rather than INT? Let the customer know that once you're paid, you will un-'cripple' the system. Assure them no data will be lost. Peter.
