"All if fair in love and war." . . . and business.
My work is only worth what somebody else is prepared to pay for it: I installed Mint Linux on somebody's PC and they paid me at the going rate as it was not mission critical for their business. Somebody else paid me a LARGE amount of money to sit up with their Windows 2000 PC that had had 5000 lawyer's confidential records on it and had been hit by a ransomware attack: and to get back all those records - 2 simple reasons: 1. The Ransom demanded was 5 times what they paid me. 2. They had an extremely valuable meeting with business clients the next day and those documents were among those that had been "hosed". Ethics ain't in it. ---------------------------------------------------- And, as a charming friend of mine once remarked (and he is a very successful businessman) "Keep your morals for the weekend and the family." Not very nice, but fairly near the truth. c.f. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crazy_people _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
