Sure but we are not talking about buying a new CPU to replace a 5 year old computer. We are talking about buying an AMD CPU or a Intel slightly better equivalent. The difference is marginal.
You really need to find something to do with this time, my friend. It is not like the computer will mind if you go out a bit instead of staying looking at the screen waiting for the operations to complete. Either way it will be almost exactly as bad waiting for 55 min instead of your hour
Sure it would, but by providing you with this option the manufacturers would be renouncing some of their power over you, and so there is no motive for them to provide such solutions. At least until someone outside their club starts doing that.
If you consider "owning" as being able other people to use it, maybe what is lost is what makes Linux great indeed. But it is lost just for us, the common people, corporations and the government still have this right,
On the other hand, if you consider "owning" as being able to do whatever you wish with it, whenever you want, losing that has nothing to do with open source or Linux. It actually goes against what makes it great and the idea that made it come to be.
LibreOffice has very poor support for these legacy formats.
Your definition of "legacy format" is apparently the newer office format. Libreoffice import actually very well older formats. It has a lot of more problems with newer Ms problems.
And in the enterprise, Microsoft has provided an adequate solution, and LibreOffice is simply a non-starter.
Nah, MS has provided a solution for some companies, which is not necessarily the best one even for them, and that is why Office use has been losing ground in US, Europe and most of the world in the enterprise market, and for some time now.
Well file format compatibility is even worse for Office. It is true Office and Libreoffice can usually open formats from each other, but Office can't always open files from other Offices. Office has a lot of problems opening files from newer versions.
These are the features you think are better in MS Office. It is a matter of personal preference. All those features exist and are fully implemented in Libreoffice.
Because there are actually things that Word / Excel / Powerpoint are better at than Libre office, and few examples of the reverse.
Unfortunately for you that is not true. There are very few features that are better in MS suits, and the vast majority of people does not use them.
there is still some degree of continuity within Office 2000-2013 whereby you can move between versions with substantially less headache than moving from Office 2003 to LibreOffice
Sorry, but there is less continuity between Office 2003 and Office 2010, than there is between Office 2003 and Libreoffice.
After writing a single term paper and trying to unravel the thought process behind footnotes / endnotes in LibreOffice, I found myself pining for Word.
To each his own, but Word has much more annoyances in the sense of counter-intuitive menus and hidden settings than Libreoffice ever could.
Because it is in your best interest to take the plea. Risking a life in jail for a relatively small crime (as in Aaron Swartz case) against taking a plea and spending a few months in jail requires a lot of will to gamble, even if you are completely innocent. Laws that allow for disproportionate penalties, even if state as a "maximum" sentence, are made to give the prosecution power to coerce people and force them to give up on their rights to defend themselves.
It all depends if you are talking about 100-200K, 800-900K or something in between. as all are examples of six figure incomes. Either way you should be able to do just fine with the web application in a few minutes. In the case your income is greater and coming from many sources you should have professional people doing your declaration for you anyway.
Considering MS Office versions have been increasingly different from each other, I don't think it is easier anymore, from a training perspective to keep using MS programs. I mean, if you will have to train all your employees to use Office 2010, 2012, Blue or whatever, why not train them to use Libreoffice and get done with it?
Nope he implied that if I am innocent I better take a guilty plea anyway or I will go to jail. That is how US criminal system works, and that is why more than 90% of the people charged with anything end pledging guilty, a great part of them innocent people. Basically people are blackmailed to give up on their right to defend themselves by the threat of disproportional sentences if they fail.
Pathetic. Your illusions of grandeur do not interest anybody here, my friend. After your previous comments it was clear that you were either incompetent or a liar. Now it is clear you are both.
Every single research made about the subject says otherwise. Most people only care if others are paying taxes if they have to pay taxes too. It is all about fairness. If you have to pay your taxes you want everybody else to do the same. But give a person the option to not do that and the condition that nobody else will either and most people will take it.
Like most decision any government makes? consensus is impossible and many many times even majority is ignored, The majority of people do not want to pay taxes for example no matter what the government says he gives back for them. Their opinions are always ignored in this matter though.
We have a system that gives a group of person power to decide everything for all the others. No matter who democratically those people are chosen what they do more often than not does not reflect what most people want. That is the main flaw of democracy. True democracy only exists when every decision is made by the results of direct vote, or at the very least every important decision.

What good will it do to him if he would win years after bankrupcy? Unaffordable justice is not justice at all.
From 30 fps to 60 fps yes, from 59 fps to 60 fps certainly not.

Those frames you wouldn't be able to notice if they were there...
Sure it would, but by providing you with this option the manufacturers would be renouncing some of their power over you, and so there is no motive for them to provide such solutions. At least until someone outside their club starts doing that.
I meant "being able to prevent other people from using it" in the first paragraph.
If you consider "owning" as being able other people to use it, maybe what is lost is what makes Linux great indeed. But it is lost just for us, the common people, corporations and the government still have this right,
On the other hand, if you consider "owning" as being able to do whatever you wish with it, whenever you want, losing that has nothing to do with open source or Linux. It actually goes against what makes it great and the idea that made it come to be.
And even if he did he would still have the original copy...
I am quite sure the extra milliseconds on the operations you have to wait on your computer will be very significant for you.
As in Aaron Swartz case, right?
They just upgrade the way Microsoft tells them to
Seems like an excellent idea! Or not...

Sorry, but I will give you what you asked me not to give you: older versions of office don't even open files made in the new versions.
Again a matter of opinion without anything to substantiate it.
Well file format compatibility is even worse for Office. It is true Office and Libreoffice can usually open formats from each other, but Office can't always open files from other Offices. Office has a lot of problems opening files from newer versions.

Then I call you bullshit.
