Programmer needed to change software Kill Date - Software Development Jobs - oDesk

Need a well versed programmer to find a kill date placed in the software.  Currently, employees have to set their dates before the kill date, otherwise the program becomes inoperable.  A disgruntled employee who made the software for the firm placed the kill date in the software after he was fired.  It causes a lot of stress on our employees and we need it removed.  This software is the property of the company so there are zero copyright issues.

 

We are unsure what how the software was made, but it has file names such as .db, .ini, .dll, .vb, .hbk

 

I can send the program (400MB) via AIM or USB in mail.

The Linux Desktop: Rich with educational software

Linux for education is a great win, for all PC users. I have read about schools making the move to open source and Linux in the classroom, with countless success stories. I have been a GNU/Linux user for many years, and I admit that I have never really dug into the open source educational software that is available for the Linux desktop, until recently. I also read many articles written by Windows users about how Linux is dead on the desktop. Is it really? When I see articles that put down the Linux desktop, I am almost 100% assured that the author has not even tried to download a copy of GNU/Linux, installed some software and actually given it a test drive. For those that have actually used GNU/Linux enough to know what it is, you generally hear a completely different tone. Linux is definitely not taking over the market, but it is FAR from dead; there is a huge amount of software that comes with each and every GNU/Linux distribution that a lot of people are not even aware exists. To me, this makes the Linux desktop a very viable and economical solution for educational environments. It is also fine for business and personal use as well, but that is a harder nut to crack. As I have found for myself, it is definitely worth taking a look at what software is available; I guarantee you will be surprised.
