The problem is everyone expects Calc to be Excel, including full compatibility with reading and writing of Excel's file formats. As Excel is a constantly moving target, following that path means you'll forever be a second-rate Excel that'll never quite be fully compatible.
I find Calc to be a fine spreadsheet program myself, though I'm hardly a power user. If you want to use Excel, then just go use Excel.
There was that one episode where Data single-handedly hijacked the Enterprise-D and took it on a joyride to go visit Dr. Noonien Soong and there was basically fuck-all the rest of the crew was able to do about it.
Turned out it was due to some sort of homing device in Data's head that wasn't supposed to work that way and it wasn't going to happen again, etc. etc., but after that I would have been a bit cautious of allowing Data access to anything important.
That's really only needed at slow speeds. At higher speeds the tire noise is enough. Even for most modern ICE cars, at higher speeds the tire noise dominates over the engine/exhaust noise.
Earlier this year I needed a SSD for a PC I was going to use as a router. The smallest drive Microcenter had was 256 GB, which was massive overkill. It was also priced at $19, so I was like whatever and bought it.
With the massive increases in price for flash memory, maybe we'll start seeing smaller drives again.
That's exactly how it works, well other than me having the dates off as the Boomers weren't even born when Social Security was enacted by FDR. When Social Security was enacted, retirees started receiving benefits even if they never paid into the system, which was paid for by the current workers who were paying into the system. It's been like that ever since. Social Security is also not a pension.
You are correct that for most people would be better off investing their Social Security taxes into a hedge fund but workers don't really have a choice in the matter.
That's not how Social Security works. The money the Boomers paid into the system went to paying benefits for the previous generations. The benefits the Boomers (at least the ones that have retired) are getting now is being paid by the workers in the younger generations. While it's true the program has run a surplus, if the young taxpayers stopped paying into the system that surplus wouldn't last very long.
Not that I disagree, but 90 would be silent generation.
It's surprising to me as almost all electric vehicles have a fixed gear ratio between the motor and the wheels. It's essentially a single speed transmission. A CVT can modify the gear ratio on the fly so it can fake a gear shift if it wants to. But with a single gear ratio what are you going to do, blip the power so you get a bit of a lurch and play fake engine noises through the speakers?
That's interesting. I've always wanted a bunch of blinkenlights but they also needed to be functional and serve some purpose. Kind of like the old Thinkpad I have that has a whole row of status LEDs under the screen. A bunch of meaningless lights just for the sake of having lights always seemed pointless.
Anyway, with the last PC I built, the RGB stuff was pretty much unavoidable. I still went out of my way to get a case without a window though. I do have the RGB on, but it's a solid blue-greenish color so there's a bit of glow coming out the back of the case.
It's fine for things like office PCs where you just need it to work, don't want to spend a lot of money, and performance doesn't really matter too much.
Honestly, I don't think she really ever cared what Bill was up to. The marriage was just a way to advance her career.
For clones of WinAmp for Linux, there's qmmp (which I use) and I believe some distros still have an xmms package (xmms2 is a bit of a different beast). xmms hasn't seen an update in a long time but like old versions of WinAmp it still works. Both of them have some support for classic WinAmp skins. Neither one supports the full feature sets of WinAmp such as the media library or video playback, so it depends on what parts of WinAmp you're looking for.
WinAmp also runs under wine and basic stuff works, but last time I tried it I ran into issues with some of the plugins and the basic stuff is covered by qmmp so other than nostalgia reasons I didn't really see much point in running WinAmp under Wine.
