    There is a fair bit of water to cross over, so yes, it is more difficult - depending on which map app you use.

    "It works just as well as anything else".

    That just about sums it up. How much more can you cram into a digital typewriter that 99% of the population needs?

  9. Not like the old days on LibreOffice 5.2 Officially Released (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    On my Dell XPS 13 Ultra book, used primarily for research, Face Book, Amazon, and web games, I installed LibreOffice in the off chance I may need to create, edit, or view a document. I opened it up a grand total of once... to make sure it worked after install.

    For me, I no longer use a computer to create documents, and PDF's have become the gold standard for read-only digital documents and editable forms. My college days of typed reports are gone, and the cloud makes traditional file keeping less relevant.

    In my experience it seems the "Office Suite" is becoming less and less relevant.

    Allowing over a billion Chinese workers willing to earn far less to compete directly with higher paid Western workers sounds good to me. Every company out there would rather pay their employees well, than earn a greater profit through reduced payroll expenses, and every consumer would rather pay 3 times more for the same product because it is made in their home country.

  12. Well, on the upside, not allowing service oriented businesses to operate on each other's soil would spare billions of Chinese users from suffering the horrors of Windows as a Service (Windows 10).

  24. I know many people who live in neighborhoods that may "claim" your package at your doorstep for you, thus they opt for the PO Box route.

    I have never had that problem, I think a package was mistakenly delivered to my neighbor once by USPS but my neighbor gave it to me.
