So… This doesn’t have anything to really do with documentation

but! Today, I tested google docs for like 10 seconds. It’s pretty cool from what I saw. Um… It’s pretty basic for what it is, word processor, presentations, spread sheets. It has features that are

needed for most all tasks… “Needed” not wanted/luxuries lol.

Hm… Some cool interesting stuff (I only really looked at word for 10 seconds, not much else…), the formula editor is a mix of

OpenOffice formula editor, and Microsoft Equation Editor (from 2007).

I don’t think many people actually get what I’m trying to say with that lol… Guess I need to put an example. For word to do like tan(theta) =sin(theta)/cos(theta) you’d type:

tan(\theta)=sin(\theta)/cos(\theta)

And as you type it’ll magically make it look cool in the equation editor (2007 only, in older versions you have to do the crappy equation editor with clicking buttons and clicking places to type and all that other stuff that makes tan=sin/cos take like 923412341234 hours to type…  In Open Office, in the formula editor you’d type:

tan(%theta) = sin(%theta) over cos(%theta)

Which is also easy and pretty cool, and turns out looking nice.  (It’s not as easy for some people because Microsoft equation editor still has the options of doing it the old fashion way with button clicking and clicking more and some more and yeah…  It’s a pain after a while clicking so much x.x, typing is way faster).  In google docs for inserting a formula, you’d type:

tan(\theta) = sin(\theta) \over cos(\theta)

There are some other major differences that make it more like the Microsoft editor over the Open Office other than just \ over %, like for vectors (the little line arrow thing over a letter and such) in OOo (OpenOffice.org) it’s vec {E}, while in Mee (Microsoft equation editor [sorry I’m getting lazy for typing it all out x.x]) it’s E \vec, and in google it’s \vec E (which is more like OOo, but then it’s like Mee but backwords).  To do subscripts (it’s like saying array index, or if doing math/science stuff it’s like I1 I2, etc) in OOo it’s like…  I sub 1.  In Mee it’s I_1, and in google it’s also I_1.  I guess that not many people actually care about equation editors and such, but when you have to type out a lot of math formula, derivatives, and like writing up lab reports, it’s really nice to have formulas actually be easy to read, and also to be able to do them quickly.  Oh, some other side notes, google docs will have your document saved on the server, if you download it to your computer though, all the special stuff (like the equations) will be turned into images computer side.  This means you’ll only be able to edit those equations on the google version.

Google docs faults (in my opinion):

• Deleting documents is way too easy.  With a sensitive touch pad you might accidently hit delete when trying to mouse over to something else.  This would be ok, if google asked “Are you sure!?”  Then again… there is a trash can x.x (just noticed lol).
• Second: (if the image doesn’t show sorry =x )
  There is no ‘Stay on this Page’ or ‘Leave this page’ button…  I know it’s not a big issue, but just like the text doesn’t match up x.x, and then to make it worse, the description for Ok doesn’t match ‘Leave this Page’ it’s ‘continue’, it’s not a big thing, I just am OCD I guess…  (Apparently on windows these buttons actually say the right thing.  It might be a mac/just safari thing…)
• Going back to the Leaving this page thing, when you try to close without saving it’ll alert you, but!  If you hit refresh, you can lose everything you typed with no warning, I know for some people this isn’t really an issue, but for people with horrible habits of just hitting refresh whenever you feel that the internet is too slow (I don’t know why…  but I do…) this can be an issue.  Also when you’re in a browser and have different buttons by your refresh button, you might accidently click refresh instead of “Open a new tab” or something.  Browsers need a defense against refresh…  Most have a “Oh wait you were typing something in the box before you hit close!” but none have “Oh wait you were writing your 12039482109348021934123 page term paper before you hit refresh!”  As you can see this could be very destructive towards your future, and if you’re anything like a sane person that feels anger, this could shorten your computer lifespan by years!  (ok… technically if we go by when it’s obsolete and such only like… 2.5 years if you had something really nice, otherwise you bought something already out dated)

Microsoft seems to be trying to introduce a lot of features like google, but seems a little stingy about it lol.  Microsoft has an workspace live or something like that which is suppose to be a way to store notes, and share documents online (which google also provides), but microsoft requires you to already to have Office on your desktop, unless you only do notes, but notes cannot be saved to your computer, only on the workspace.  Also, the workspace one doesn’t provide you with any real features of office software (currently to my knowledge), and is only really just a workspace for collaborating (which honestly is it’s purpose, it’s not meant to be used to edit documents really so I guess this is an unfair complaint).  There’s apparently an open office online thing but I can’t seem to register for it so I don’t have any notes on it, it looks like they’re virtualizing just a linux desktop with open office on it though, it could be that they’re actually using java and having it straight through the browser (which I think would work, cause we’ve made notepad in a browser for fun, it would just be more complex and all), some people commented on some stuff I read that it outdoes google docs (which, I honestly don’t really see how, cause google docs hits all the basic stuff for documents and well maybe cause Open Office isn’t just word, presentations, and spread sheets, but I guess I’d have to check it out, I’m looking at it from just a get papers done stand point, also if it really is open office there’s plug ins and macros and all that other stuff I don’t really care to use x.x;;[no offense to those that do use those things, they can make life way easier and do a lot of cool stuff, I just never found the time to actually look into it]).  But I do have to say, google docs is worth checking out, if it works for you needs, that’s computer space saved up, a ton of money saved (unless you get open office then the money saved is equal [ok you can get really really technical on this but we’ll leave that alone for now x.x;;]), and you can save it in all your favorite formats!  So it’s really versatile, and like, you won’t have to worry about your computer crashing (cause it all will be on the google servers (and!  they back there stuff up[i think…]!)), the only downside is if you’re internet is down and all that other mumbo jumbo x.x (and if terrorist decided to take out google servers which I highly doubt they would, but it would screw over people everywhere (guess we’d all have to go to bing x.x… down with yahoo! [jk jk, I’ve just never been a fan of yahoo, I know a lot of people like it better though, and it does have great features and services, and actually when compared to google in most nerd magazines, yahoo actually gets higher rated for email] OMG >.< I just checked out yahoo and freaked cause the bar at the top said “Welcome to your new homepage and favorite sites on something something something” I was about to be really mad if yahoo decided to change my browser settings >.> [and yes children, back in the day websites did that, that was during the time of “Dial Up” where checking your email took about a year, and things like youtube could not exist.  But now a days I think that would be considered hacking, and most browsers do checks to prevent those changes from happening (I could be way way wrong about that though, I do know it was huge issue back in the day because they could mess with more than just your browser back then)]).  !?  Facebook joined with yahoo!?  Lol, I didn’t know that…  Oh btw, Facebook wins vs Myspace, and windows live spaces (which windows live spaces would actually top both if people actually used it).  Some other things to note…

Google voice is win…  lol, Uh, but seriously, google is a thing to keep an eye on, a lot of their stuff has been out forever, and look for their beta stuff, cause it’s pretty amazing to test (other than the fact their ToS is scary as hell if you read it), like it’s kinda scary when you think about google, chrome is like the greatest web browser evah!  They have droid/android for for OS (which I have no idea what providers have but I want one).  They now have google voice (can you imagine if google gets their own service towers and stuff, free mobile phone calls!?  Like, I’d hack my phone the day it comes out to be on google xP [which children is a void of warrantee and possibly against ToS/Contract so don’t do it!]), but like, Googles taking over from my point of view, the only thing they’re really missing is a computer store and OS lol.  That’s it!?  Google can save the US economy (ok maybe not really)!  By having an OS that is free, and providing free services, they can then design phones and computer and have them made in the US so we wouldn’t have to import computers/phones from china and japan and stuff (and you might say “Well my computer was designed in america!”  Well you know what…  Check out that made in china sticker punk, thanks for screwing over our economy (ok not really your fault, but it kinda is)!  X in our GDP stands for Exports – Imports meaning that if Imports is greater than Exports it goes negative lowering our GDP, by companies designing computers in the states, then having it made in china (or some other place), it turns that American company into a non-American company (ok, it’s still american, but technically it’s now an import over an export) so what happens is more money flows out than in.  It’s like common sense ya know, if you spend more than you make you go negative, have the loan sharks chase you down, and get a nice new pair of concrete boots (which I hear are amazingly comfy), now like in capitalism, if a company is on the verge of death, other companies in the same industry are pressured into buying the dying company out and stuff, but then…  it doesn’t work like that for countries lol, I guess that’s a good thing lol, could you imagine instead of china loaning us money they just are like “I’m doing a buyout on your country, I will buy america for some trillion dollars!”  Could we say no?  Would it be an offer we can’t refuse?  Like banks buy each other out all the time when one is in the crapper (or they just point and laugh).  Lol, imagine Britain buying the US “HA!  And you thought you got away with that revolutionary war!”  I think it would be entertaining to see that lol, but then again it would also suck a crap ton cause what happens when you get bought out by someone who enforces crappy rule x.x.  That would be crazy though, like instead of wars people would be like throwing money down on a table auctioning off countries and stuff, start playing texas holdem “I raise you california, and half of texas!”  “I call your state and a half, and raise you the capital of our country!”  “I fold…” lol…  Sorry I’m sugar high =x (btw, if this could happen, that would mean that big companies could technically buy out countries and stuff, and like…  Wow…  Just wow lol…).  Back to the main point!  Google is the biggest threat/gift to the computer world as we know it!  Free phone stuff, free email, free office software, etc (google, this doesn’t mean change you ways, I love it all being free. please don’t change T.T) It just means like, google is moving amazingly fast, and amazingly hidden lol, (it’s like solid snake!).  If everyone thinks that microsoft is the evil empire of computers (which I don’t see how, except for that they put a dent in your wallet, buyout other companies in a capitalist like style and try to be ahead in the game), google would be the underground empire, but then maybe that’s only me thinking that way, specially cause of the sugar high…  Ok…  I think I should stop before I sound more crazy x.x;;…

Once upon a time, there was a man named Nickolas Febron. We’ll just call him Nick. Nick was born in the late 1800′s and was highly influenced by the big forming companies, like Carnegie Steel, Rockefeller Petroleum, and Sears. He decided that as he got older that he would be just like them and become a huge member of business. He would build and tinker and draw up schematics and designs for all his ideas. One could say that he was quite a genius.

Jolly old Saint Nickolas

Nick, unlike many other member in the world of economics didn’t care about the money he was making, as long as he had business, he was always jolly as long as he had something to do. That meant to him, competition was all about getting people just to walk out with your stuff. Nick’s prices got so low that he soon was spending his own money to keep his company afloat and had to lay off many of his workers that quickly got picked up by the competition for all the mad skillz they learned from working with and for Nick. Nick got less business, but he didn’t really notice since he was working so hard to keep up with the demand of his products. Nick made everything from toys, to house hold appliances, to even cars. Nick was nearly breaking even with all his costs and expenses with how much he made in profit. But soon other companies found how to make things at cheaper costs equivalent to Nick and were soon competing with him with the little amount of customers he had left. Nick then decided that he would under cut everyone to a price no one could match out of fear of going out of business. This made Nick lose a lot of his machines for business, but earned him the name Saint Nick from allowing even the poorest of poor to have some of life’s luxuries.

The Other Underground Railroad

This sadly put Nick exactly where everyone wanted him, out of business… Or so they thought. Nick was a master at about everything he put his hands to, this included thievery as well. Nick be came an outlaw that was very famous, but never considered real in the history books. He became known as the Shadow. Because he would steal from trains and companies without leaving a trace behind, and at most it would look like someone made a mistake in shipping, or in calculations of how much steel or fuel was produced. Nick shot back into business through these means and was able to have even lower prices since all he had to pay for was the building to produce whatever he needed to sell. Soon many people were having cars and house hold appliances, and companies felt that they were dishing out a good amount and thought that they should produce more.

The Depression

This sadly turned into a time known as the Great Depression. Companies started to take out loans to mass produce appliances and vehicles seeing on how popular they were in the north east where Nick was and that it should be like that in all of America. Soon car lots and appliance stores were jam packed through out the US of A, and people were taking out loans to have these luxuries. What people didn’t know was that Nick was giving out his for practically free, and that there was actually no money in the banks, and that even though it looked like everyone was in the money, there really wasn’t any anywhere. Companies soon had to lay off workers from the lack of sales, and the banks had no flow of money in from all the loans they had given out that people weren’t able to pay back, and those few that weren’t in debt but lost their jobs could not pull out money from their saving because of banks closing from having no money. Soon there was no work, and even Nick had to close down since there was nothing able to keep him in business. Nick soon learned what had happened with how his prices in competing with other companies drove the economy into the ground and he blamed himself and then traveled the country making tools for people looking for work on farms and he tried his best to help people find work. After a decade and a few years, Japan attacked pearl harbor.

Life on the run

With the attack on pearl harbor, Nick felt that he was to blame and that Japan was attacking because of how bad the economy had gotten world wide. Nick quickly went to Europe after hearing of Hitler in hopes of turning himself in. As Nick was traveling, he thought to himself that if he provided basic essentials and things that would just help people make it through life everyday without mass producing like before, that he could help stimulate the economy by allowing people to have more money to spend on other things than the basic standard of living. On his arrival in Europe, he met some scientist and decided to share with them his research on energy from splitting atoms, and showing them that energy could be made much cheaper, and that it might help stimulate the economy using this idea. Those scientist gladly took the research seeing how it could be turned into a weapon that could end the war without even thinking about applying it to what Nick had mentioned. They ran off to America to get support from the government in hopes of ending the war. Nick on the other hand finally found Hitler and decided to apologize for ruining the economy and was hoping in trading in his life that the war would end. Hitler laughed at Nick and told him that he should probably get out of Europe do to the war and since he liked his sense of humor that he should take care of himself and that Nick had nothing to worry about since he wasn’t a Jew, cripple, Gypsy, or any other group despised by Hitler. Hitler also added in that he liked how Nick had rosy cheeks (Hitler was a very odd charismatic man…). Nick quickly ran off confused about what was what and headed north to the north pole since he felt that the war would take over everywhere but there.

The Elf Enslavement, and Beyond

In the north pole, Nick ran into a new species that no one had discovered yet. He was fascinated with how the culture worked, and did much research on them and was impressed with their technology. He saw that they would fight countless wars with each other, and that the losers would be turned into slaves of the winners, and that the slaves got along better with other slave tribes than the remaining tribes got along with each other. He called these new creatures Elves (plural form of ELF [Engineering Little Freaks], he was thinking about calling them dwarfs or midgets but felt that those names might have been politically incorrect, and that since Orlando Bloom stereotype of elf hadn’t been invented yet [since Bloom had not even been born yet] that it was a perfectly acceptable name, some later felt that goblins or gnomes would have been a better name, but Santa will not go back on his naming convention.). He decided that the best way to get labor for his plans to better the world economy would probably be solved with conquering the elves. So with the limited resources he had, and the grand amount of designs he had saved, he declared war on the elves. The war was a long and hard one, lasting many months, and ending around the same time as WWII. Many elves were killed during the war with Nick, but Nick and the remaining elves that became his slaves quickly learned how to understand each other and they quickly dug into the untapped resources under the north pole and developed Nick’s workshop where the elves continue to work till this day (many attempts at people trying to get Nick on illegal labor have had trouble pressing charges since elves are not people and Nick’s workshop is a clean safe working environment [so the parts they've inspected...], but these charges has driven Nick to move his shop underground along with the people trying to steal his designs and ideas from satellite imagining). Nick found that if he used the earth electrical field with his energy plans that he could develop a way to levitate and travel at almost the speed of light in his sleigh that he was using to get around the north pole. Using this he would load up the back of his sleigh with goods to deliver around the world. Using deer he found he could balance the weight and that the fur would make musical noise like bells at the speeds that they traveled. Nick also took into consideration his timing for deliveries, that it would be best on December 25th because of the cold months of the early new year, and that tax day was April 15th in the US of A (where all the trouble by him started) and it would be best if he gave people a good amount of time to get their new things fitted into their lives by then, and would be able to use their tax deductions on things better than life basics. Many children try to write Saint Nick a year, and many people try to steal his inventions. Only very few post men know how to reach him, and Nick quickly stopped visiting certain neighborhoods do to the government working on catching him to use more of his ideas for war (like atom splitting), and because many families have grown upset with him spoiling their kids. Companies have also been after Santa for copyright infringement, in mimicking their designs for different toys that children want but could never afford.

Today…

Whether or not you or your family believe in Santa, he still tries his best to stimulate the economy and help provide comfort to the majority of the world not after him or his ideas. Also, he has grown tired of many people mistaking his workshop for an evil lair and asks that during this frightful time of global warming and the polar ice caps melting that people take no notice if any of it sticks up above the ice. Just remember, Santa’s always watching who’s naughty or nice, just like the US government was tapping phones and breaking privacy laws =3.

Summer Be Shorter – Due to the recession, summer has been stolen by the government to force students back in school. This ‘school’ forces these students to buy paper, pens, and other school supplies putting more money into the circulation hopefully increasing the economy and do to increase in demand, companies will be forced to expand increasing job opportunities.

Happy Holidays – Christmas is now going to be celebrated 4 times a year, every 3 months.

Be Thankful Please – Thanksgiving twice a year.  All followed by super discount Friday.

Birthday Parties – birthday celebrations will be required on quarter birthdays, half birthdays, three quarter birthdays, and finally on the full birthday. The spending of these events hopes to give companies more money in order to open up more job positions and improve the economy.

Rich Car Tax – The rich are now required to buy 1+ new cars a year, and they will be taxed on their cars over 5 years of age unless sold, donated, or given to a lower class in society.

Vacation Required – Families are now also required to go on ‘cool’ vacations during breaks, increasing job demand on hot vacation spots.  Ways to avoid having to go on vacations during summer is to have kids and sent them to summer camp, or sports camp.

Divorce will now require that 50% of the value of the couple’s estate and finances be spent on a party to celebrate their new found availability, and the other 50% to be divide among them however it should be.

Clowns, magicians, or other types of entertainment are now required at every party.  A moon bounce is also now required.

No child left behind – now known as “Child, you better not fall behind.”  For every failing grade a child gets in school, they will be required to higher a tutor, thus providing more work for the educated having trouble finding a job in this tough economy.

Fat Tax – All unhealthy foods shall now be heavily taxed.  How heavy you ask?  The same rate as the obesity rate in America, about 65%.  With this, we hope the costs of medical issues will also go down.  Also, as people grow healthier, the tax shall lower.  (Dollar menu shall be no more D= )

Healthy Tax Deduction – All healthy foods are now accepted as a tax deduction, limited though based off the number of dependents and such.

Marriage – Is now required by the age of 25.  Celebrations required.  If you cannot find one, the government will find you an ideal match based off out calculations of your interests, like eharmony or match would use.  Also, all married couples shall now be required to buy a new home at low interests rates long term payments.  New Housing = More work = Better economy.

News Papers Tax Deductable – Due to the ‘internet’ newspaper sales have gone down the drain because of the information being free online.  This also ruins the paper business due to new ‘paperless’ options.  Thus, buying news papers will now be tax deductable.

Holey Socks Trade In – Used holey socks are now allowed to be traded in when purchasing new socks for a discount on the new socks.  Must be same brand or higher costing.

Right To Bear Arms – Guns now tax deductable!  Bullets heavily taxed xP.  Or maybe that should be the other way around o.o;;.

American made products – American Made T.V’s, American made ramen noodles o.o;;, American made anime dork candies lol…  AMERICAN COMPUTER ASSISTANCE (Microsoft >.>)?!?!?!?!?  American made video games…  American made comic books…  o.O.  Not made in china computers…  (Cheap companies ruin the economy [cooperate tax o.o;; ]?!  Lol, by lowering the price by giving the jobs to foreign countries o.o;;. “We make our own problems” lol)

Using those American goods…

More exports than imports (Higher income than spending = saving money =O ).

And more to come…

Other Idea…

United States gives all of its estate to Bob (AKA USA Junior) creates the exact same country with the same name in the same place and USA declares bankruptcy!  Do to the fact that Bob now owns all of the things that USA had, USA can no longer pay off it’s debts, and there is nothing for the debt collectors to take, due to the fact that Bob had no relations to USA, and its belongs are now untouchable and Bob is debt free while USA Senior has horrible world credit!  Greatest swindle plan ever.  Or maybe countries don’t work like that…

Idea from crazed American (not me…)

Blow up China.  Why?  Cause then we wouldn’t have to pay them back (but wouldn’t that start nuclear war and the end of the world?).

Note: This stuff isn’t serious…  (Or maybe it is?!)
