Ethics is what you do when nobody is watching.

"Behind every great fortune there is a crime"

is ascribed to both Voltaire (François-Marie Arouet (21 November 1694 – 30 May 1778), a French Enlightenment writer, essayist, deist and philosopher known for his wit. But also by Honore de Balzac (1799-1850) a famous French writer... he must have copied from Voltaire, right?

Same country - France - 20 years apart. Interesting point on ethics, perhaps?

A side thought, originally I started this thread with the intention of posting a new quote each day...

There has now been enough quotes from you fantastic bunch to last a year, so i guess that makes me redundant.

Try not to be a man of success, but try rather to be a man of value


I like that because i have little success but some value to people (mainly cos i help them) Also, you can use your value to be successful if your valuable to the right people

I don't think there is a difference, between a man of success, and man of value... not really.

Care to elaborate on the meaning of yer post SNGX?

I think he is just pointing out so far how many people have read the posts, so far it averages at 8 views per post, that is 1275 divided by 152, I think that next to that post in mobile computing about dell passwords and some of the other stickes and advice posts it has to be one of the most viewed posts I think.

Regards

My username has 1275 in it, the thread had 1275 views. Its not as cool when you have to explain it :(

Sorry, didnt spot that.:blush:

You`re not the only one that didn`t spot that mate, neither did I lol.

Regards Howard :)

I made it more clear now.

Wish I had a red marker pen - how the hell did you do that?

Screenshotted (alt prt-scr) pasted to Irfanview, cropped, saved, opened with Paint, grabbed red paint brush, drew, posted it, confusion arose, opened with paint, drew in arrow, saved, posted I clairified.
