Well, if that doesn't make the hackers think twice about what they're doing, nothing will.

I lean toward a translation error; but since the original is in a book in a language I can't read I have no way to confirm it. When I set the sig I struck out on finding an English translation of the whole book; and I don't know any Finish speakers who owe me enough a big enough favor to ask them to read an entire book to find the original. I got it from the Introduction[^] to another song[^] on an album. "Waging" is used on the recording, the online lyrics[^], and IIRC the album liner (but I'm not going to dig that out of the box now to post a picture of it).
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

But bananas give you niacin, which we've already established to be the panacea, and writing/drawing manually are good for hand-to-eye co-ordination, so can be instrumental in helping to stave off cerebral problems, but Libre office has absolutely no health-giving properties whatsoever.

OK. From that introduction your quote is exactly correct, correctly spelled, as far as I can tell correctly meant and no, I've never seen that. Basically trying to destroy reason by destroying the balance that maintains it. Fits in with metallic rock. If you can't balance and weigh reason, you can't determine the better path for you to follow. Chaos seems to be the goal of that kind of rock. I'm not a fan so that could be an outsider's misconception of its goal.

Translation Error[^] :)

That is one long site/read. Would you happen to know what page caused the mis-translation? Metallic rock bands are known to like destruction, I wouldn't put it past them to intentionally alter a well-known quote to suit themselves. There is a statue used in the justice system. I always assumed from the garments that it was a blind-folded young maiden weighing reason on scales to find justice. She's blindfolded to show that she won't intentionally influence the balance of reason to find justice. That came from the free market where goods were weighed on scales and the hawkers weren't above putting their thumb on the scale (tipping it) in order to overcharge the mark. I knew there was a story (or book) behind it, just didn't care enough to find out what it was.

At first I thought you were just being needlessly snarky. I must admit now that this is the most reasoned argument I've seen yet for not using LibreOffice.
You need to study the work of the masters, before you can reproduce it.

I upgraded to Office 2003. It works much better -- no ribbon, twice as fast, and no NSA back doors.

The link opens at the correct page for me. The relevant text is at the bottom of it. If it's opening at the top for you for some reason, it's the bottom of page 22.

This looks like a snoopers dream. Get access to several computers with the full assistance of the user. No need to set up an expensive cloud storage system to lure them in. What's to say they aren't renting out space on your machine as cloud storage. I like to keep my stuff private thank you very much. Can't beat an air gap.
I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.
OK. So it's just as evil as every other solution out there. Guess there is no reason to change then. :)

And then this happens. Maybe I'll be changing services anyway. One thing for sure, nothing is permanent.

You are right, it opened on the right page/location and then jumped around like an SOB, so thanks for the page and location also. I can also see how someone not very conversant with English would think weigh would be pronounced "wage" instead of like "way" or "whey". I can also see how a metallic rock band could intentionally twist a well-known quote to mean something completely different. The actual quote doesn't say pulseless, but that's the net effect of a petrified heart. Neither condition would allow a man to continue to live, so he couldn't weigh anything either unless he was a denizen of the river Styx too. I believe the boatman there does weigh people's hearts to determine where they need to go.
