Also there are law firms with the "No win, no fee" motto.


These guys are usually the worst of the lot. This type of lawyer is actually illegal in a lot of places. Why? Because the fees they charge if they do win are far, far higher than those that a normal lawyer would charge. So if they win, they take a huge proportion of the fees. They argue that they have to, by accepting other matters that they don't win on (so they don't get paid for) but in reality they almost always do personal injury, which is very open and shut. Fill in a form, send it off, get your cash. They just exploit that.

Let's look at this in a different way.
Doctor's charge per task, and they charge a sum far higher than would be received if they charged per hour.
How is charging per task any better really?


I go to the doctor or the dentist, and I know what I'm getting done, and what it will cost me. I had an hour in the dentist chair 3 days ago - 4 fillings, and it cost me $480. Was that more than if he charged per hour? Yes. But, you need to consider that I had a 30 minute appointment with him a few weeks ago, that cost me $80. So, $560 for and hour and a half, is about $310 per hour, which is about right for an experienced professional. It evens out, but it does mean they can't overcharge for tasks that they don't complete or do. Charging by the hour - you can take several extra hours and really drain all the cash you can from that file.

They are. They really are. They have a real god complex and think that they're better than other people, because they're a specialist. Arggghh.

Don't get me started on specialists. Had five years of the specialist roundabout with my ex, glad to get off it when we broke up :P

Whatever I would bet on is irrelevant; the fact is, whether he has missed 8 shots in a row, or made 8 shots in a row has no impact on his likliehood of making or missing the next shot.

What an asshole, was the specialist the one that conducted the surgery to remove the cancer?
Or did he get other surgeons to do the operation?

If he written out the wrong form and hence wrong type of procedure wouldn't that be risky to the life of the patient...

Well its a good thing you didn't pay him for such a neglection on his behalf.

Cancer is such a terrible thing, I had a family member in the house that went thru such an ordeal and it was stressful on the household. Just glade everything went A OK. The person was never the same again though, cos surgery is such an invasion on the body.. but when there is life, there is hope and beauty. Thats why we need to do everything possible to preserve life.

let this be a lesson to u coach noodles, rationale goes out the window once you question the awarding of mvp points to smeltz lol who would of thought you questioning the awarding of said points would lead to the last 100 odd posts ... for future reference when the SAS win, smeltz will invariably get the 3 pts.

That's not true in simulation or reality. In a simulation I've already explained why it isn't true. In reality psychological states of mind can affect the likelihood of making or missing the next shot.
