Another cool little thing that libreoffice does which Microsoft overlooked and that is replacing the double dash less-than sign with an actual arrow, because what else would that mean?  I imagine MS Office is just too professional that no one would be making little symbols like but adding this little touch to MS Office makes

I know I just did, what a piece of garbage service.  Here’s what happened: I wanted to change the path to my gdrive on my hard drive so I did a little research and found how to disconnect my account and change locations.  So I disconnect it, take my ‘Google Drive’ folder from it’s usually

Yet another little thin that Libreoffice has which M$ Office is lacking.  If you go into one spreadsheet and copy a bunch of cells you completely loose the ability to insert blank rows or columns.  It is instead replaced by ‘insert copied cells or rows or columsn or whatever’.  Insanely stupid and insanely annoying but

Alright, I woke up today to a load average of 75.. Seventy-fucking-FIVE.  I didn’t even know that shit was possible and I’m pretty sure the guys at the DC were probably roasting marshmellows over my glowing box.  I couldn’t believe it so into my server I went, waiting 5 minuets for every command I typed
