Speaking about God - he would not be very happy if a believer translates the text like that.

Honestly. Will PRoz.com post allow Satanic or Usama Ben ladan translations?

1. god created gay people too - like anyone else.

2. you mean - ... he would not have been very happy if a believer had translated ...?

3. it must be hard working for $0.04 per word? but who would pay you more? honestly?



my next question -

you have all these software packages:



Trados

PageMaker

MS Office

Adobe Illustrator

Acrobat

Photoshop

Adobe Premiere

Golive

Indesign



only Adobe Photoshop 7 (for Mac, don\'t know about PCs) costs around ?550 (pounds sterling) before VAT - about $850 (American dollars).



MS Office v.X for Mac - ?430 - about $665



http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/ukstore.woa/954/wo/XIlnI1Es55V7rTN9pq/2.7.0.3.34.1



How on earth could anyone afford to buy them all? translating for 40 dollars (about 26 pounds) per 1000 words? Unless, of course, they are pirated copies?



and i know that one of the precepts in any religion (speaking about God) is - DON\'T STEAL.



i am not blaming anyone, just wondering.

who knows - may be you have been working on sakhalin for years.

what is the average salary in saratov, where you live? - 150-200 dollars per month? or even less?

Personally, I\'ve always experienced that women are God greatest gift to men, but I know enough gays to understand their neurosis.





i, personally, would only be interested in Sen\'or Fuente\'s gayness test\'s results.



Arthur Borges needn\'t worry AT ALL!!! neurosis or not!

Are we seriously comparing gay culture with satanism?

Remember the translatow who was killed after translating ¨the satanic verses¨?

This is far worse than a bad ch... See more

This is far worse than a bad choice of words in a job posting! This is pathetic!

You're free to take it off or on Sep 30, 2002

Greenpeace gives me 5 cents, I\'ll do it. George Bush gives me 16, I won\'t.



That\'s all there is to it.
