PlayOnLinux knows how to install MS Office 2007 so nearly everything in Word, Excel, and Powerpoint (dunno why you'd want that) work... but not Access. (Drat!) I think I once found instructions for installing Access2007 so it would sorta somewhat work, but I haven't been able to find them again. Ca...

Paul replied to a question about this in the Pen Launch comments, a couple of days ago: Thanks much for checking in, I plan to start the comic back up this Fall. I’ll be sure to make an announcement here about that in a couple days so folks don’t worry. ^_^ Snrk... Might have been nice to make a si...

Got nothing but "Burn the Noob" type responses. To hell with that. I guess they were never noobs, themselve, then... :roll: Never did figure it out, or how to actually update anything. Book didn't discuss it clearly enough for my ignorant self, so it went away. That's the problem with software made...

I love this one: > Linux is not user-friendly. It _is_ user-friendly. It is not ignorant-friendly and idiot-friendly. - Seen somewhere on the net That is the elitist attitude of the kind of Linux-head who, when asked by a newbie for help, spouts a string of CLI-based bafflegab that you'd have to be...

Regarding discussions earlier:

My first outloud laugh of the day...

Thank you for that.

When I was a teenager, I used to ride my bicycle a lot, going on long day rides (100 to 150 km - 60 to 90 mi.), by the time I was 17. To me, it seemed like the logical progression would be that eventually, I would like to get a motorbike. Of course, that never happened. Only two years after leaving ...

I am happily ignorant of programming and such- if the program is something friendly to me, I use it... if not, I get by without. The technologies I am most comfortable with were old before your parents were born and will withstand an electro-magnetic pulse without so much as a hiccough- what's more...

Try it again, it just worked for me.

I love this one:

Just read this quote on my wallpaper, and it made me chuckle: Dear Lord: Please make my words sweet and tender, for tomorrow I may have to eat them. I can't find any attribution for it, though. And as I was about to post this, the wallpaper changed, and the quote is now this: “I'm not sure I want po...

Incidentally, I just figured out how to post larger pics, by reducing the quality during the resizing... I had not paid attention to the settings in the software I was using, so I was reducing image size, while keeping it full quality...

I pass by this building every day, while driving the bus. One day, I happened to notice the address number... The following was my immediate thought: We're sorry, the building you are looking for does not exist... 20200520_171547_DSCF9946_1365_1024.JPG 20200520_171417_DSCF9945_1365_1024.JPG

And in other views: The Most Powerful Argument Against Forced Universal Masking TL;DR: Forced masking is obstructing/delaying herd immunity. Focus on the most at-risk groups (elderly, etc). Funny you should say that... It seems the Québec government wants to make mandatory the wearing of the mask w...

I got one on the phone telling me I was about to arrested for tax fraud- I punched the requested number and as soon as an "OFFICER" connected with me, I screamed into the phone "COME AND GET ME, MOTHERF&CKER!!!"... I felt so relaxed after that... I just got a similar call... Illegal banking activit...

Here are two more amusing quotes put out by my wallpaper changer: It's the opinion of some that crops could be grown on the moon. Which raises the fear that it may not be long before we're paying somebody not to. - Franklin P. Jones And "Save yourself from the 'Gates' of hell, use Linux." -- The_Kin...

Somewhere I read the intentional poor grammar and spelling filter out the people with at least half a functioning brain cell, leaving the rest of the dunderheads to actually consider this might be real. Those sad dopes are their prey. I have no difficulty believing that whatsoever. Meanwhile, it ma...

Boy, what luck! An email directly from Warren Buffet, who wants to give me money! Hi My name is Warren Buffett. I'm a philanthropist from American. I have sign a gift donation payment of $1.700,000.00 Million in your name through the help of CEO/Managing Director of Pnc Bank Florida Head Office for ...

That reminds me, I read somewhere that caffeine (or maybe just coffee) affects spiders the way alcohol affects humans. Have we seen Digit drinking coffee? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUfibozhSh8 Whoever made that video is brilliant! It has all the hallmarks of a real documentary, down to the op...

We're Number One!
