You can even store the password database on the cloud if you wanted...
Why is this a good idea?
What's wrong in keep database on cloud? As long as you are using strong password along with key file, there is remote chance that someone would be able to break-in your database.
I keep it on a USB drive.
Better still, I keep my DB on Dropbox, so it is available anywhere I go - no need to carry USB pen drive.
I'm somewhat skeptical. I sell an iOS app at the usual App Store rock bottom prices. 90+% of my downloads are still attributed to pirates. I can't really drop the price any lower without giving it away for free. Pirates are going to pirate no matter what the cost is.
It would be more interesting to find what would your revenue be if you double the price of your app. My guess is that it will dip in spite of higher price.
There was probably some guy like you shaking his head thirty years ago. "Mice? Sorry, I tried one and it's totally useless. You always have to take your hand off the keyboard to do anything at all."
Most probably spoken by someone who suffers from RSI - then bane of long time computer users. Mouse is the first thing you should stop using to avoid getting RSI.
How many of those "pirates" live in places where $20 is a more than a whole day's wage?
Probably not many. Since they also probably won't have an internet connection or a PC in the first place. Think about it.
In India, for $20 you can easily get 2 months of unlimited internet, and for vast majority of population, $20 is more than a whole day's wage. Almost everyone pirates software here because most of it is not affordable even for upper middle class family.
Velu Annamalai, the source of this spin on Gandhi is an intellectual heir to Ambedkar and the liberation of Dalits movement. Velu Annamalai was Indian/Tamil but moved to New Orleans. I think their is some truth to what Annamalai said about Gandhi but it is also an exaggeration and takes Gandhi's life out of context. Gandhi was working within the South African dynamic. Gandhi in 1940 was not the same person that Gandhi in 1904 was.
Personally, I have read biographies of Gandhi** by multiple authors and I have read history of India also by multiple authors, and in my opinion, the article is a propaganda for Dalits against Gandhi.
** Gandhi is the correct spelling. Ghandi is plain wrong.
