  2. Re:WP in Law Offices on WordPerfect Back From the Wilderness · · Score: 1

    whats so damn unique about law documents, they are so damn basic, and simple, even a 1992 WP can do it.

    Whats changed?

    You guys use animated gifs of a guy fucking a sheep now for logos?

    Typical lawyers, extracting maximum fees from clients and claiming, "well we are uptodate with all office technology" bogus excuse.

    If theres anything worse than an IBM sales person or microsoft product manager, is a lawyer, especially one working for m$.

    Geeez, even html is good enough for all legal docs.

    There comes a time when perfection in editing is done. Office is too good, and competition does 150% of whats needed. Anything else is 100% niche, and hardly worth it.

    And yes I use word, but only coz im forced to, but then again, who pays for it?

    read about the history of IBM and thomas, and how they started with NCR etc...

    That truly defines, EVIL.

    Now I know where bill gates got his mentorship from and his ideals.

    He studied IBM inside out and how they began, and instead of wondering, 'wow what a bunch of evil fuckers' he thought 'god damn, thats my business plan'.

    IBM as they say, business is their middle name. Nothing can stand in their way of making that sale/deal. Morals just dont exist.

    Perhaps in oxfords, EVIL should have 'IBM' listed there.

    Well, today, IBM perhaps is less evil, but the original people that made it were truly, scumbags.

    Competition is not their middle name, and they would luv to work in a pure communist, one supplier at 10x cost position.

    You know coorporates will inflate losses to get super tax breaks.

    Infact, mitnik doing $1m damage, and coroporates claiming $5billion, to get $5b in tax refunds is more of a crime than mitnik, and those CEOs need to get banged up the ass, take their CEO lives away.

    But you wont see any FBI raid a $100b companies CEO house and shove him in the pound in the ass prison and throw him in cells with real killers.

    Yes, steal a loaf of bread, get pounded inthe ass, steal billions/trillions and sit back in your $12m mansion and army of lawyers and 'charity contributions' and you suddendly look like a nice guy.

    Why arent companies like ibm/microsoft/hp charged a larger fee for applications compared to individuals/small companies...

    This would solve the time/cash problem.

    If the patent is worth $1billion, then charge .1% of that, ie $1,000,000, that would fix all this crap.

    Not that apple would ever buy $300m in GOLD or SILVER and witness a 40% rise in the real gain in 12months would they.

    No financial wizard would do that, even tho its a real gain, but they would dump $300m in shares that are high risk coz it looks 'smart' not 'old world'.

    If they put 4.8billion of USA into Australia 6months ago at an exchange rate of .60 and at 4.75% interest rate, and transfered it back today at .80, they would get at least 6.5billion back today. Same sort of return if they bought gold, but its hard to buy that much worth even on paper trades, since your trade would cause a market shift.

    Now dont say that, "oh how can you predict that 6months ago"

    Note, go to www.financialsense.com , and if you listen to its FSN radio broadcast from say, DEC 2002 I think it was, I did ask a hypothetical question on 'borrowing' millions in USA funds and transfering to AUST banks, and paying it back via interest paid in AUST returns + currency growth, and bang, make a profit for nothing by 2004 after the 40% gain in currency strength.

    Any 1/2 smart person would have predicted that if their heads arent in the asses about how great the USA$ is.

    Warren buffet even thinks the USA$ will tank, he did transfer into EUROs and buy $100m in silver too.

    They have had 4.x billion in the bank for ages, if its an usa bank giving you 1.25% they are getting ripped off.

    if they transfered 70% of their 4.8billion into EURO bank 1 year ago, it would have grown to 6billion usa$ today with currency changes and higher interest payments.

    They got shafted, or too stupid to realise it, even Buffet is moving cash into EUROs coz the USA$ is dead... its a lame duck, with so much bonds being offered and so much debt in usa, the usa $ is in 'too much supply' its price is going to fall, fall big time.
