Expensive Mistakescoopsweb asks "What's the most expensive mistake you've ever made? Should I mention a certain employee who caused 4 hours worth of delays in Central London and got his company fined £500k?"
No points for stories about the time you had a few and thought it'd be a good idea to wrap your car around a bollard. Or replies consisting of "my wife".

cracking the dongle locking mechanism is pretty toughPfft. That's the problem with copy protection - software vendors trying to make their system tougher and tougher, only to see it cracked on day one. Legitimate users have to jump through hoops to get their software installed, people who nick the software have no problems at all.
The commercial software development business model is all wrong anyway - you get a lot of money in for v1 and then fritter it all away again in customer support. So you HAVE to make v2 to pay for that, and so on.
Give the software away, charge for support.
