    Well a escalation would put the issue in a new light. I guess my philosophy "its not hurting you so it none of your god damn business what consenting adults do in their spare time" doesn't appeal to everyone.

    Let me clarify. I'm not specifically referring to the investigation but to the hoards of idiots that keep spouting this without any proof what so ever. If they have proof put it on the table or shut up.

    By all means let the investigation continue and when it concludes lets see what we have.

    This memo reveals that the Trump administrationwill do anything

    An yet the democrats in congress did everything the could to prevent the release of this memo. Seems to me if it did what you said it did then they would have been fighting to release it a long time ago.

    An like everyone else that spouts this line you can't produce proof of it. I think its time to put up or shut up. This has been spouted for over a year.

    I should get one to go with my 100 trillion dollar Zimbabwe bank note. How would I frame a bitcoin? I guess I could put it on a thumb drive then frame that.

    Gay wedding cakes aren't shit

    I'm not sure I understand the gay wedding cake issue ether. Some narrow minded individual doesn't want to make you a cake. Take your money and business elsewhere. So their personal life choices don't agree with your's. Are their choices hurting you? No? Then take there money and make them a damn cake.

    Not only is your argument irrelevant, is is also incorrect.

    Depending on what propaganda site you visit ether China or Russia emits more green house gases than the United States. While the United States is still in the top percentage its over all emissions is going down. Where as China is already more than the United States, their over all emissions is going up.

    According to this graph the United States isn't the top emitter per capita ether. Get ready for it.

    http://www.wri.org/sites/defau...

    Interesting. Of course during this little research project I also found graphs that show Russia at the top, Japan, China, India and several others. So basically what ever spin you want to believe you can find a graph for it.

    But what I did find is that China is emitting more than US and is scheduled to rise. India is not quiet there yet but is also scheduled to rise eventually surpassing the United States. Where as the United States over all emissions are down and continuing to decrease over time.

    But never let the facts get in the way of your anti American rant. Continue to believe whatever you want to, the facts will not change your mind.

    Well they do but people are acting like you have no choice in the matter. Nobody is forcing people to upgrade to windows 10 or even office 2019. There are plenty of choices out there you have to just decide which one you want to do. Nobody is holding a gun to anyone's head.

    Yes windows 7 is in wide usage right now and its 10 years old. At the end of its life. An before someone chimes in that its still usable I would like to point out so is Centos 5 which is also EOL and no longer supported.

    No. It means your option is irrelevant, pointless, unimportant, pointless, and or immaterial. It doesn't matter if the average American releases more greenhouse gases than your average Indian or Chinese. What is important is the grand totals of all that green house gasses together. Understand?

    Now here is something that is relevant. The average American carbon foot print is decreasing. Slowly but it is going down. While your average Indian and Chinese footprint is increasing. What do you think will happen when 1.2 billion Indians and 1.4 billion Chinese have the same foot print as the average American today?

    I can't think of any off hand but I'm under the impressing they intend to genetically engineer some. I'm not sure what alarms me more. The thought of massively altering a major geological feature or the thought of releasing genetically engineered plants into the wild.

    It makes people angry. It's like the progressive left don't really care about the poor, only about the rich. Somebody's got to say it

    Sounds like the two of us have been to the same schools. I don't mind if someone wants to bitch and moan about something. I'm cool with that but at least have some ideal about what you are bitch'n about. Use your brain and don't just take the talking points from Foxnews or CNN as gospel. Yeah I like to honk off the alt left and the alt right.

    Like the current arguments on the daca program. OMG, Trump is going to kick 800,000 people out of the country! Except that isn't what is happening. All he did was kick the program back to Congress where it belongs and told them to fix this mess.

    An that is what is happening. Trump sends congress a compromise. Congress ether agrees, or sends it back with their conditions. An it goes back and forth till a deal is reached. But all progressives see is Trump is kicking 800,000 people out of the country.

    Because at some point, you will be given an Office 2019 file,

    Which probably won't happen. I routinely work with 3 office versions, 2010, 2013, and 2016 and I have yet to see any compatibility versions between the 3 of them as for opening files. Granted, I don't use any really 2016 specific options.

    As for the OP bitch, this will happen with any software. Even libreoffice eventually. At some point a new feature will be added to the suite that isn't compatible with older versions. So the OP point is pretty much a moot point.

    An a interesting note I found a directory full of short stories I wrote on an Amiga 500 using wordperfect 4.2 back around 1992. Word 2016 opened all of them with out issues.

    So the question to power users is: Has been any reason, i mean feature-wise, to upgrade Office since Office 2000 ?

    If you are going to upgrade look at going to office 365, or 2016 if you don't want to go subscriptions. If you have office 2010, moving to 2013/2016 will get you some new feature but nothing really worth upgrading to in my option. The only reason I moved from 2013 to 2016 is because i subscribed to office 365, which is office 2016. But I used office 2013 at work and on my surface and I really don't notice much difference between it and 2016. If you have 2013 you are perfectly fine to stay there.

    It really isn't a bad deal. A terabyte of dropbox runs me $99 bucks a year. Dropbox is more compatible across devices but if I'm just using onedrive for backups of my personal desktop its hard to beat. The thing I really don't use is the skype credits but its nice to know they are there if I need them.

    I really never understood the raw hatred people have here for the office subscription package. It's reasonably priced, and cheaper than buying the full package in the store. Plus subscription plans have been the norm for business software for decades. This is really not anything new.

    As a self employed contractor software subscriptions are killing my business

    I don't know about the subscription model adobe is forcing you into. I have found there are plenty of cheaper alternatives to their expensive software.

    As for the Microsoft subscription module I've seen that is actually cheaper to pony up for a year in advance than to go month to month. $69 for a personal office license for 1 cpu, phone, and tablet. An $99 for 5 cpu, phones and tablets. The subscription module is still cheaper than just buying the office package off the shelf.

    You are writing all these off on your taxes right?
