No English speaker I know, here in the UK, would say anything other than mileage. This is one of those words whose meaning is now detached from its etymology.

Interesting. I'll look into this.

I think it should be min := data[i]; But it wouldn't be faster this? Why to check 200 times (i = 0)? min := data[0]; for i := Low(data) + 1 to High(data) do begin if (data[i] < min) then min := data[i]; end;

All my projects have their DCU and build directories on a RAMdisk and I have specifically excluded this drive in the virus scanner. Using a RAMdisk has the advantage that it increases the lifespan of my SSD drive, my builds are crazy fast and the directory is guaranteed to be empty after each re-boot.

"the distance a car or a tyre has travelled in its lifetime." Could be written as distance clocked. I clocked 250000 miles on my old VW Golf. I probably only clocked 60 miles on the last set of tyres. And that made me sad.

Yes, but nontheless I like the idea of a self-service portal. Given that this will really allow me to use my perpetual licenses without any further troubles. (I am clearly not intending to re-install twice per day but about every 12-20 months I clear my VMs to have a fresh system.)

Also keep in mind that they've told us for 20 years now that we don't understand marketing. Perhaps not -- I certainly do not understand THEIR marketing. But in my career I have learned a good deal about customer retention. According to LinkedIn, his title is now: Mergers and Acquisitions Executive Advisor at Embarcadero Technologies. And that does not seem to be marketing.

Embarcadero can't fire him; Idera purchased EMBT and he was the person Idera picked to oversee Delphi. I'm not sure this was his idea either. I heard it was Michael Swindell who came up with the Delphi Pro EULA change (as well as the bogus 3 million users figure) and he's not only still there, he's listed as "Senior Vice President of Marketing and Product Management". Let's not rule him out as a suspect.

Atanas just posted an update on his blog post. Policy Update: We still receive occasional comments on this and want to make sure we are clear on our Policy. Registration limits were introduced a long time ago with very valid use cases, but many of these are now outdated. We still do them, just now they get approved by Account Management (Sales/Renewals) vs. Support. Further, we have done several auto-bumps for everyone that should limit these issues altogether (and will do more as needed). As communicated, over the summer, we will work on a more automated way to increase registration limits through the self-service portal. It looks like there was an issue with the auto bump. I can manually process your registration bump if you private message me on here or email me: firstname dot lastname at embarcadero.com
