As an alternative to MS Office, check out LibreOffice. In many ways it's far superior to MS Office, but Microsoft does weird shit with their file formatting, so crossing between LibreOffice and MS Office with MS file formats will inevitably result in (hopefully) minor layout issues.

As for a version of Linux to investigate: Linux Mint, and Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE). About as close to Windows as it gets in Linux.

FOR THE ALLIANCE! (night)

Mouse OR keyboard?

This forum, any day.

Nude or tan? (the colors)

No.

Well, at least they built 7 on top of Vista Ultimate, rather than on the Vista base.

Doubtful.

How many socks do you have on right now?

You know how they call certain beers by a shortened name, like "heiney", "natty", or "P B R"? I wonder what the shortening would be for Michelob Ultra...

Were you the iceberg? Or maybe Zoidberg?

They're just dust in the wind.

What kind? Michelin, Pirelli, Cooper, Goodyear, Continental, Dunlop, BFGoodrich, Bridgestone, Yokohama, or Hankook?

It really didn't have anything seriously different, (mostly just additional language packs and a bit more "ultimate power user" access) but for some reason that nobody but Microsoft really knows for sure, it had none of the resource hogging of the other versions.

Pineapple. (and coconut if it's not fresh)

Vista was great if you had at least 4GB of RAM, or was the "Ultimate" version. Anything else, and it had issues.

Now you're just reminiscing about previous versions of Windows and Service Packs... lol (don't worry, I am too)

I'm too scared to switch, so I'll probably be sticking with 1709 for as long as I can.

Honestly, even a pirated copy of W10 with as much of the bad stuff disabled/deleted as possible, isn't terribly bad on 1809... Of course there is still a bit of spyware in there even so.

The European Government in general.

Meh.

So now you're moving on to trying to insult me... Please don't, it doesn't look good for you, especially when we're as off topic as we are.

This shows just how incredibly incompetent the people running the EU are... They don't even look at what they're voting for, so much so that they passed this instead of voting it down. At this point it's so glaringly obvious that the EU is not designed to represent the people that anyone who thinks they do are idiots themselves.

Actually, all torrents lose seeders over time, and so the specific torrent can be easily lost after a few years. If you have a physical copy, it doesn't need to be torrented again.

There are reasons besides "it's a collectible" to get a physical copy of something.

It's sandwiched between Russia and Europe... You really think they can successfully avoid having either one's shitty laws?

Enjoy your free game!

Oh good... I was hoping the Article 11 & 13 passing was just a bad trip...

While it is entirely possible for FM to be taken out because of this, it's far more likely to happen to RGD... (Valve doesn't generally do the anti-customer BS that other companies do) Despite the claimed "fair use protections" they really have no protections whatsoever for fair use.

I have 2 dogs pretending to be slippers and a cat pretending to be a shawl on me right now. They are not my animals.
