Or is it like our Trump's "full head of hair"?

You know what they say: "Windows is only free if your time has no value".

Oops, I forgot. Windows isn't even free.

Why haven't you just uninstalled OneDrive entirely?

Better yet, just uninstall OneDrive entirely when you set up a new computer. It's one of the very first steps for me.

(Yeah, you have to keep an eye on it in case it comes back during an update. But that's true of a lot of "features".)

Avoid Windows Home, and it's still trivial. Just tell it during setup that you're going to join a domain, and then . . . don't. Instant local admin account. It can even be done without a password.

Not sure why anyone would ever deliberately use Home.

I've tried it with 2 and it chokes.

I ran a server, paid for it, also banned for TOS. Senseless garbage.

I know Slashdot has lost a lot of audience, but I still think having it known here doesn't count as "confidential".

This won't help that. Whatever meaningful feedback it generates will be completely overwhelmed by people who feel that all ads are bad, that it is inherently to advertising, that advertising cannot be good, and the people who do it should be buried in a shallow grave with quicklime.

Any other kind of feedback will be statistical noise.

Starting this summer, you'll be able to walk into an Intel store at your local strip mall and they'll stamp out a chip for you right then and there.

I still wanna move there, or Pluto and wouldn't mind having to stay indoors most of the time as long as there's windows. The colored ice mountains and Jupiter in the sky Pandora-style must look fucking amazing.

So what you're saying is your average American is a fucking moron.

I can get behind that.

I've done quite of work on Calc, and never had much of a problem. It's not a one-to-one match with Excel, but I've had few issues. I don't really use Powerpoint or Impress, save to view presentations, and haven't seen any significant issues.

I have used Writer *a lot* (I've written a novel and several proposals and projects). Once I got it used to it, I actually prefer the way I can work styles in Writer to Word, and every time I'm forced back into using Word, I find it just a huge pain in the ass. In general it doesn't molest docx files too much (unlike Google Docs which horribly mutilates styles).

I'm pretty much using LO full time at work now, and only use Word and Excel when I log on our Terminal Services server. I'm not sure I'd ever be brave enough to completely abandon Office, but I'm definitely not looking at further re-entrenching myself.

In the 80s/90s we were tasked to read several novels from grade school through high school; The Incredible Journey, Where the Red Fern Grows, In the Heat of the Night, The Hobbit, 1984, To Kill a Mockingbird, Romeo and Juliet are some that I remember reading for school. I know Lord of the Flies, Animal Farm, and Farenheit 451 were also on the curriculum as friends took those in other blocks. And those are just the ones I recall... there were others.

Still, it could be worse. It could be Dymo.
