What to do with your documents.

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 5:20 AM Comments comments (0)

 

As most people know, when receiving a document in Microsoft's proprietary format such as docx and xlsx, you need the original MS Office suite to open these documents.

 

Forget about the other clones or open source software and office suites, they all use the same cracked format versions which are not 100% compatible with the original Microsoft formats.

 

Well, I don't know about you, but I am not willing to pay $100-$500 just to op...

To do this you need to go to the following website to accomplish this.  Screen Calibration

Today I discovered my $1000 Lexmark printer has a kill-switch.

 

I have been using this printer for the past year to print all my important work. Then when the ink-cartridges ran empty, I did what any right-minded person does; I got myself generic replacement ink-cartridges. So for the past month I have been printing on generic non-original cartridges with a very stern warning from my printer letting me know I am printing without, and I quote “You are printing with Non-...

My laws of the universe

Posted on May 15, 2012 at 9:40 AM Comments comments (2)

Here below is my take on the laws of life and those of the universe:

 

- If something does not come/happen naturally, it should not come/happen at all, not even by flawed human law.

- When there is a variance on a theme or object, then immediately you have the two extremes on both sides.

- If you can think about it, someone else has already thought about it, and so someone else has already done it.

- There is always someone else that is...

Why does nobody read anymore?

Posted on May 13, 2012 at 10:55 AM Comments comments (2)

Why is it so difficult for people to read instructions given to them in plain sight?

 

Do we blame the school system? is it the short attention span of people?, caused by today's instant everything on the net syndrome?

 

I just don't know, but these people should stop complaining when things don't go their way. I can't tell you how many comments, articles, and reviews I have read where the authors just don't get it about our software. Our software is com...
