What, you lose money if the contract
is late? Elance it! I am confident they
would care about your deadline.

Here's a thought.

Ensure the user and software are physically
in the same place, make that place secure.
A double tumbler money safe should do
the trick.

Lock the safe, and drop in over the side of
a ship positioned above a deep ocean trench.

That should keep the data (relatively) safe.

You project probably would lose money if the software was late as we would
enter liability clauses, etc. However, more importantly, I have my own
budgeted deadlines and when you're given 15 days to Document, Investigate,
Integrate and test a bit of software spending 14 of those days trying to
delete a stupid print button wouldn't make very much sense. So I use, what
is supposed to be an information sharing newsgroup, to help me get the task
done.

As extremely hilarious as your above quote is it still doesn't take away
from the fact that we can't allow users to print out UK Restricted (or
above) help. Thanks for your pointless use of bandwidth.
