Get this, someone on Slashdot thinks Microsoft has IMPROVED Office.
"Now works with other apps, rearranged icons, and has a eyedropper to grab colors like everyone other program has on the planet."

Only 1% of the public uses those extra power features. And, if the documents were compatible, I'd consider the NON-ribbon version of office an upgrade in usability. I've given up finding where the change case button is to be found and just use that search bar for it.

So let me get this straight. Does this mean fans of Trump were alarmed and concerned but other than the hate and the lowered oversight on ICE agents for a whileâ" zero actual changes to border security actually changed?

I guess being upset and using it as a campaign issue is the extent of the involvement. Seems the left and right has more in common than I once thought.

I am a user of Apple Computers and have owned many since the early 1980s.

Apple Computers are the only computers I use because I love the insane levels of courage, magic, and wonder they build into each and every machine.

Some nights I lay there imagining how Tim Cook watches each and every Apple Computer device coming off the assembly line with a smile on his mouth and a tear in his eye. You see he thinks of every Apple Computer product from the lowly microfiber cloth to the Apple Pro Megamaxx++ Ultra as his children. Children headed out into the world to better us as a species.

Why do you hate magic?

Hype.

"So why this hype? Because the cryptocurrency space, at heart, is simply a giant ponzi scheme where the only way early participants make money is if there are further suckers entering the space. The only âoeutilityâ for a cryptocurrency (outside criminal transactions and financial frauds) is what someone else will pay for it and anything to pretend a possible real-word utility exists to help find new suckers."

There is a genocide happening in Xinjiang; one that is erasing an entire culture, language, religion, and history of a people.

"If you can not distinguish between a concept - or call it ideology - and a dictatorship that painted the name of that on its flag"

I'm not going to say someone is an idiot. I just think that we have lacked the means to actually implement a working Communism until computers and the internet.

If you created something with a central guarantee of fairness, and it was controlled by bottom up voting -- it might work. However, you'd have to require participation and find some way to make sure people weren't fed propaganda - because a system like this requires good voter information.

I'm not sure all our systems won't fail if we don't get a handle on misinformation.
