Seriously folks, if this is how you life revolves then it's no wonder people keep harping on you. Quit being a bunch of whiners and thinking being a man means acting like a two year old.
We're running O365 (Office 2013) and use Skype for Business. So far no major issues other than getting the accounts configured.
If Skype is bundled with 2016 that is just as blatant as saying IE is bundled with Windows.
Communication software should not be tied to anything, especially an office-like product. What if we uninstall Office and go with Open Libre? Will our Skype not work? (rhetorical question).
Leave Friday morning (around 7 A.M.) and arrive at their location Sunday afternoon. Stay there until Thursday morning when I start my trip home. Did the same thing in October of last year.
8 days total length of time and I will be stopping at a few sites on the way back.*
It's not so much that air travel is awful, I have flown, it's that it's gotten to the point where the groping and proctology exams have made it unbearable, especially when I've committed no crime.
* I'm returning on Saturday and will have two days to recover before I go back to work on Tuesday since Monday is a holiday in the U.S.
I have a relative who lives 1,700 miles away and I'm driving to see them this week.
While not the same situation as you, I have made adjustments so I don't have to fly.
Being considered a criminal when I have done nothing wrong doesn't sit well. All this has done is give a would-be terrorist a ready, easily accessible and indefensible juicy target. If the whole point of this setup was to make people safe it has failed miserably.
they evaluated the risk/reward environment and came up with a different answer then you did. If that answer burns them, so be it.
That is the same argument I use when saying I shouldn't be forced to hand over my money to a private company yet I'm told I MUST do so even if I never become sick or never need medical care. I'm supposed to pour my money down a black hole until the day I die.
I've done the calculations and am willing to take the risk but nope, I have no choice. "Hand over your money to the private company and shut up" is what I'm told.
Funny, when it comes to personal choice the folks on/. scream bloody murder when the government tries to tell them how to live their lives yet when I try exercise the very freedoms they claim to espouse, I'm screwed. Do what the government tells you, they say.
New research published on-line in advance of print in the journal Psychological Medicine, concludes that continued use of cannabis causes violent behavior as a direct result of changes in brain function that are caused by smoking weed over many years.
Further on the article states:
What makes this new study more compelling than previous studies is that the researchers followed the same individuals for over 50 years from a young age to adulthood. This is precisely what one needs to solve the chicken or egg riddle with respect to cannabis and violence: just look and see which one happens first.
In other words, they weren't doing random shit. They followed the scientific evidence to back up their findings.
Would you like to troll some more and be like creationists and ignore the facts?
by turning a guy that made a mistake into a hardened criminal.
Let the excuses begin! The guy who shot his wife after he ate pot candy did not make a mistake. He made a conscious decision to ignore the evidence that pot makes one more aggressive for a short time immediately after consuming/smoking. That he may have also taken prescription medications because he wasn't thinking clearly because of the pot again shows he ignored the evidence one doesn't think with a clear head when under the influence of pot.
How about the guy who killed a woman who was a passenger in a car because he was drunk and had a BAC of over twice the limit an HOUR after he killed her?
Let's not even get into the daily shootings by inner city folks because of some perceived slight or walking in the wrong neighborhood or looking at someone's girlfriend.
None of these things are mistakes. These are deliberate, conscious acts by the person. They obviously have no regard for anyone else so there is no reason we should have regard for them. Actions have consequences.
people managed to accumulate such large sums of money on a relatively small official salary.
Putin of Russia falls well into that category. Various people who used to be part of his inner circle have estimated his net worth as high as $200 billion due to all the property he's seized, deals he's made to have company stock and out right stolen from the Russian people via corruption.
There's a reason the Sochi Olympics planning were so far over budget and it had nothing to do with using marble and gold for the bathrooms.
and use it to detect early stages of neurodegenerative disease, cancer, cardiovascular disease, internal bleeding, blood clots, and more.
We already know the detrimental effects of smoking, doing drugs, being obese, not eating a somewhat healthy diet, lack of exercise and so on yet people continue to do all of the above and more.
If the trillions we've already spent stating the obvious haven't worked, restating them in a different form isn't going to matter.
Here's a rule of thumb that I thought was a good rule for passing a law, would you be willing to shoot someone for breaking it?
Considering I think people should be shot for murder, rape, animal abuse, child abuse, successive drunk driving and drug dealing, just to name a few laws we already have on the books against doing, I may not be the right person to ask.
So? People paid for Windows 7 and Microsoft should support it, not destroy people's systems to make more money.
Do you see any car manufacturer deliberately bricking people's cars and telling them they have to buy a new one?
I will have a party when the class action lawsuits (plural) start coming down on Microsoft for these stunts they're pulling. If people thought the IE lawsuits were bad, they haven't seen anything.
If we followed George Bush's example we'd ignore 8 months of daily warnings of an impending attack and let 3,000 people die in the span of a few hours, then turn around and claim there was on way to prevent the attack.
Afterwards, you'd make up some excuse, including making up false documents, to invade and occupy a foreign country which had nothing to do with anything while at the same time letting the person who planned the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history escape because you ignored every request from troops on the ground for more troops to block the person's escape. This would cost over $2 trillion and the lives of thousands of soldiers, but eh, who cares.
You'd also let your Vice President out an undercover CIA agent and not have them thrown in jail.
you don't do business with or in China. If you think Apple is the only one who will get this treatment, dream on.
China, as we know, has little concept of rights whether human or otherwise. I once read that in China if you get taken advantage of it's your fault, not the person stealing or whatever from you.
Don't buy products made in China. It's the single most effective means to give them the middle finger.

Why would paying to upgrade one product affect the operation/performance of another unrelated product?
Talk about blatant shilling for Microsoft!
My dad, usually, has to sever the connection then send again to get his video to work correctly. Once this is done he has no issues.
This is on a Windows 10 system of less than a year old (complete system, not a downgrade).
As to updates, I have them turned off for Skype for the very reason updates generally cause problems.

I was talking about being forced to pay for insurance, not vaccines.
Once people get the taste of free stuff, there is no going back.
Just remember, if you find it acceptable to not pay people for the work they have produced, the same can happen to you.
Or when it happens to you will it be a travesty and you'll whine about it?

What do we do when there are only 80% as many jobs as people?
Stop producing people. The population will decline to match the number of available jobs.
When there are only 10% as many jobs as people?
Then we implement something akin to Half a Life
No, it's how the world works. You cannot just consume and hope nobody cares you're not paying for a product such as music or movies.
Can't wait until we have the return of battleships armed with a Wave Motion gun and maybe with this advancement it won't take so long to charge.
It was a general comment in relation to the OP who said people shouldn't commit a crime so they wouldn't go to jail.
I realize common sense doesn't sit too well on /. but at least make an effort to try.
here is absolutely no reproducible scientific evidence to back that up.
False. From March of 2016:
