Simple macro-driven spreadsheets don't work in libreoffice 5. Try using a spreadsheet in which someone has added filters to cells, or something like nmon_analyzer.
No I'm not saying it has to be developed as an integral whole. I'm saying if you don't want something developed as a whole then you have extra work to do on every side of every piece to ensure it functions as seamless as a whole, otherwise you compromise the usefulness of the product because people will always evaluate it as a whole experience. I'm sure this type of work is very boring and meticulous and probably a large reason why it is where Linux fails.
When Microsoft makes a change, say, from Windows 7 to windows 10, the windows manager is still fully integrated with the execution loop. This makes the change much cleaner. I like linux, I really do, but there is a lot of nastiness comes from the mismatches between the various moving pieces. Linux never really feels whole or fully integrated from top to bottom. So making a change in window manager just pulls the carpet out from everyone again. People who are using an OS in the corporate world don't care about exchanging pieces, they just want it to work.
Well all I know is that it feels as clumsy as hell when I open a large spreadsheet. Macros usually don't work. I guess I made the assumption it was java based because I've never seen a native application that slow.
It's not a strength in the business world. If a business has to change from Gnome 3 to KDE because people can't agree on how the WM should look, while it's nice that it can be changed, that's a big problem from a workflow perspective.
The problem with open office and libreoffice is that they are java-based. There, I said it. I can't say I've used a java based application that feels as snappy as a native windows app. Open a large spreadsheet with openoffice and you're pretty much done. I wanted to like them, I really did, but they are just so far behind for so many reasons. Java just gave them ten more steps to make up.
Nobody will pay for Office when open source office suites are free.
You're right, definitely no one has purchased a Microsoft Office license since openoffice was released to the public in 2002.
Have you ever TRIED openoffice or libreoffice? Compared to Microsoft Office they feel like they're being powered by hamsters in a wheel. There are so many missing features I have just come to take for granted. And, well they have that java application feel.
Then it is the end of music on a phone for me. I'll go back to using an MP3 player with a jack. I'm not paying extra for headphones that will only ever sound as good as the Bluetooth allows them to sound.
As far as I know, the only quality that Bluetooth has is you can use it without a cable, and you take a pretty big hit on sound quality. While I am no audiophile, I do want to listen to music at the best quality that my particular set of headphones can manage which makes using bluetooth illogical for me. I certainly don't want to pay extra to use my headphones at less than their capability.
I don't know much about him, but he seems to be the type that wants to do something that is legitimately good for everyone. It's hard to be relevant in the current climate when you are that type of person.
Apple is just better at the game. They know people will grow tired of having the dongle with them, or lose it, and a lot will just buy bluetooth headphones.
We should be talking a lot more about what automated cars SHOULD be doing, rather than merely holding them up to the standards of humans. Being just as good as the average human isn't enough. If it isn't like a bionic human, what is the point?
But no one can possibly make an educated choice on what bugs will lurk in the AI brain. That's the problem. A person can make a conscientious choice to drive safer, thus it makes sense to charge more for insurance if they don't. They don't have any control over how safe an automated car is. And yes insurance increases could be large. If there is a significant flaw found that makes 1 million cars possibly unsafe overnight.
Well my comment was a tad harsher than I wanted to make it. However, when anyone complains about not being able to find a new job, there is always on someone on Slashdot who says 'just move to silicon valley'. It goes both ways. Probably the cheapest thing companies could do to attract good employees is to let them work from home, or set up where it is good for people to live.
I don't understand why anyone would get a job 1+ hours away from home and then complain about it. Kind of like getting a house next to a train track and complaining about the noise. You probably have that commute because you make more money in that scenario. So fine, that's the trade-off you made, now live with it.

This is an article about why windows is cheaper than Windows, I was merely proposing a reason why. No one asked where the manpower should come from.

How was I marked a troll? Do Excel macros actually work and I'm doing something wrong?

How many of these millions of phone and handsets will actually see a successful attack? How many have anything on them worth attacking?

Perhaps this will be the case one they finish implementing all the Office features in LibreOffice.

I was talking Canadian price. At any rate, at $150 there are a lot of wired headphones to choose from, many will be better.

Why would anyone buy a bluetooth headset if they're fine using a cable?
They're also $300 fucking dollars. I paid $50 for my wired headphones five years ago, I'm happy with them and they still work.

How is a Tesla Model S going to see a small animal walking onto the road from behind think brush at night? Do they have infrared sensors?

So we can only use automation on islands with internet access, never to escape?
Uh, money?
