It's a giant bloated mess with those stupid ribbon menus.

Oh, you've got to be kidding me... If I have Calc open, and I go to the menu bar and pick file, open, and then select my .txt file it opens fine asking me how I want to delimit the file. However, If you do a *.txt in the filename box to limit your selection choices it changes the file type...

What the heck are you talking about? Where do you get the idea that I set out to not like it? It simply doesn't do what Excel can easily do. I often open delimited text files in a spreadsheet application and it is less than stellar in this use case.

It's ridiculous that you can't do a file, open from inside LibreOffice's calc and open a .txt file. However, you can right click on the file in Explorer and send it to Calc where it will then open it. A quick Google search shows plenty of other people with the same complaint.

Yes, but I don't want to go near 2013.

Well, I installed LibreOffice only a short while ago and I already have a pretty low opinion of it. Basic functionality is missing. Like it can not open a .txt file into Calc. Both Excel and OpenOffice's Calc will both open a .txt file and let you chose how to delimit it. I shouldn't have to...

And a 3rd person from the same company contacted me today about the same job. I sent them the same basic reply as the 2nd person. I'm going to need popcorn at this rate.

I didn't know about LibreOffice. I'll have to check it out.

No, I don't. I use it as little as possible, which is very close to never.

I had a company pester me a few times via Linkedin about a job opportunity and today they had someone I know do the "get introduced" thing Linkedin offers. I politely told them I didn't think they could afford me, and asked what the salary range of the position was. This should be worth some...

I decided to try out OpenOffice after my home use MS Office Pro 2003 key wouldn't activate any more times. It's not like I paid much for the home use version of office, but MS just lost a user. For my uses I think OO will be just fine. I can now get 2013 for free from my current job, but I'm...

That's not correct.

Toshiba got the 3.5" side of Hitachi.

Firefox is a pretty piss poor browser under Android IMHO. It's barely usable.

More like something for the oblivious. Modern devices have a web browser and this forum isn't exactly heavy on the processing or graphics side. What exactly need to be optimized?

I only have Avast on one computer It has a SSD and I'm not real impressed with Avast.

I use a P60 host (Solarforce L2P) as a "pocket" light. That said, I don't keep it in my pocket too much unless I'm working on a project. I have a small CR2 powered 4Sevens Quark Mini on my keychain that's with me pretty much all the time. The MX25L3's are fun lights to take on a walk. :)

Why does he want larger? Just for the physical clubbing size?

I thought the trick was to not install it. :)

Wait until you see your roaming charges! :)

What I miss most is the commenting slider...

Sorry for the misdirection... That's not a tablet "app".

FWIW, youtube-dl is pretty slick.

You'll note they didn't say that they weren't throttling. They just said they they treat all traffic equally. They could have throttling rules that are equally applied to to all traffic that so far only affect Amazon / Netflix.

You know, you could go look at your order history and see who the seller is and if they have any affiliation with Newegg.com.

An official company non-denial is the last step before it's implemented permenantly.

Aw... come one... This place could use some tomfoolery.

Their first album was good, but the subsequent releases went downhill, or might be more accurate to say drifted away from my musical tastes.

You can also get condensation above freezing. You've seen dew before right? :p

Why throw in the towel so easily? A quick Google search confirms your 1545 has a socket. Socket P. Whether you will notice the difference of an extra 100MHz and an extra 3MB of L2 cache is another question though.

That's very unfortunate news. I hope things get better for you and your wife.

There's very little turnover in Japan because of the culture. People just don't change jobs, and companies don't lay people off (not sure if the latter is the law or driven by cultural norms). Of course none of that changes that in general Japanese companies don't understand how to do business...

They're going after the stupid rich I guess.

I'm not working with live footage, so no camera. I'm dealing with mostly recordings (it's a hobby, not my job).

And they probably still don't need it. I'm pretty sure I'm into the nitty gritty of video editing and processing more so than anyone else on the forum (in the deep end of AVIsynth and x264 encoding pool). Unless I parallel up "jobs" so they run simultaneously my i7-4770k @4.2gHz w/ 16GB of RAM...

I'm pretty sure I'm a professional babysitter. I have to personally test projects my coworkers are working on for my customers. Otherwise they hand it to me and tell me it's working when it doesn't even pass the most abbreviated end to end test. Further, if I don't sit with them in the lab...

Congrats! I dream of that day.

Didn't you say that about this one?

Why do you need a new computer? What are you doing that the current one is unable to do?

It sounds like you should at the very least exchange it for another one, or return it. Edit: never mind then...

The two main Firefox extensions I use do automatically update themselves (NoScript & Adblock Plus). I can turn that off (and just did on this PC), but the default is to automatically update them when new versions are available.

What's to stop this from happening on Firefox also?

The Romisen and the MG are probably both using using multiple AMC 7135 drivers in parallel. It's a linear regulator. It works, but light output does fall off when the voltage from the battery - the voltage drop in the 7135 is less than the Vf needed to maintain that current level. I have...

I hope he's out there on Sports Illustrated swimsuit shoots or something.

You're just not very committed to the cause. Use a USB WiFi adapter and a wireless hotspot. :idea: j/k don't lose your job over it.

Start removing hardware temporarily from the system one by one until the problem goes away. It's the process of elimination. If you get it down to where you can't remove anything else and still use the system but the problem persists it gets a little more complicated.

There are some decent mid grade lights. The bottom end is mostly junk. Going name brand doesn't necessarily buy you a ton more performance, but usually you get a more refined product and a warranty that's worth something.

Now you're not even human and are seeing a vet... I can't keep up.
