I didn't read Soft Skills, but to sell ideas to coworkers, I think that Driving Technical Change is a good read.

An Indian bride has married a guest at her wedding after her groom-to-be had a seizure and collapsed.
Reports said the groom, Jugal Kishore, was epileptic and he had kept the information from the bride, Indira, and her family.
What a scumbag!

Which one?
I suppose the jilted groom could sue....but he'd have a shaky case.

The groom obviously, he should have waited

Few people realise that the bride at an English wedding can choose to marry the best man, rather than the groom ("best man" is short for "second-best man", which idiots with inferiority complexes some people saw as insulting) -- so if you're asked to be best man at a wedding, make sure that the request comes solely and exclusively from the groom.
... Unless she's a babe, of course.

I think the bride can marry whoever she wants in England, can't she?
I thought it was one of those free and gender equal countries?

Oh no no no no.
It's all arranged by Prince Philip.

There's a bann on marrying anyone on the spot, but the best man's not banned from the list.

On his return from the hospital, Mr Kishore pleaded with Indira to change her mind, telling her that he would be ridiculed by friends and relatives if he went home without a bride.
Oh yeah, that's the way to convince a woman to marry you!

You liked the way so much that you appreciated it thrice?

I was writing an app for a client. I was NOT a Work For Hire, therefore I own the copyright to the code. See here if you're interested.[^]
At any rate, I want to send the client a Cease And Desist letter so that he cannot use any portion of the app. Does anyone have a template letter?
1. Please don't tell me to get a lawyer. I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars so a lawyer can fill in the blanks on a template.
2. Please don't start debating the legalities of this. I am the owner, and it's not debatable.
I simply want to see if anyone has a template letter.
Thanks
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

1. Get a lawyer; the law is different in different countries, and probably even in some states.
2. It probably is debatable, because we have no idea what your contract with the customer actually specified.
Sending a letter created by someone here will probably go straight in the shredder when the customer receives it. Or worse, will get you a letter from their lawyer containing all sorts of threats. As President of the company you should be prepared for this sort of thing.

United States copy right law is the same in every state.

I've been down this road a couple of times before. I own the code. When you're an independent contractor hired to write code, unless you specify otherwise, YOU own the copyright to the source until you release it to the client.
Thanks for following directions
