That being so you'd hope that regulation would be more successful in ensuring that these systems worked more as productively intended to rather than be easy to game by hacks.

If we buy a product off the shelf we expect it to work as advertised. On the face of it professions should be no different.

I wonder if there's anyone out there who'd tell us about the downsides of being an international gigolo.

I suspect it's a very hard job.....hard to be hard when it's the paying mingers.
