Doesn't "Power On: 147 Days" tell that you haven't allowed Windows to update for about 5 months? Maybe you simply need to close Windows, (and start it again), for the updates to install, so your Windows Update can rest?-Curt (January 19, 2014, 04:23 PM)
Like I said, I think it depends on the licensing agreement your organization has with Microsoft, but yes I was offered Visio Professional for $9.95 as well.-Innuendo (January 19, 2014, 09:38 AM)
The home-use program is valid as long as your organization buys into it for employees. MS has offered this for a while and the US Military participates, hence why I have received each of office since 2007 for only 9.95

But it is a good resource. It didn't help me with my recent problem of the same sort however. Turning off Google Drive and Skydrive was enough to stop the thrashing, though I added Copy to the ones that I turned off.It will never become popular, it isn't washable!-Arizona Hot (January 17, 2014, 07:58 PM)
Yep. Got nerve damage on my thumb, and my writing is a total disaster now. Not that it wasn't a disaster before...-Renegade (January 18, 2014, 12:31 PM)
When you're good at basketball, you go to the NBA. When you're good in the NBA, you win championships. When you win championships, you waste all of your money. When you waste all of your money, you end up singing 'Happy Birthday' in North Korea. Don't end up singing 'Happy Birthday' in North Korea. Switch to Direct T.V.
Advocates of a free and open Internet could see this coming, but today's ruling from a Washington appeals court striking down the FCC's rules protecting the open net was worse than the most dire forecasts. It was "even more emphatic and disastrous than anyone expected," in the words of one veteran advocate for network neutrality.
The Court of Appeals for the D.C. circuit thoroughly eviscerated the Federal Communications Commission's latest lame attempt to prevent Internet service providers from playing favorites among websites--awarding faster speeds to sites that pay a special fee, for example, or slowing or blocking sites and services that compete with favored affiliates.
Big cable operators like Comcast and telecommunications firms like Verizon, which brought the lawsuit on which the court ruled, will be free to pick winners and losers among websites and services. Their judgment will most likely be based on cold hard cash--Netflix wants to keep your Internet provider from slowing its data so its films look like hash? It will have to pay your provider the big bucks. But the governing factor need not be money. (Comcast remains committed to adhere to the net neutrality rules overturned today until January 2018, a condition placed on its 2011 merger with NBC Universal; after that, all bets are off.)
"AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast will be able to deliver some sites and services more quickly and reliably than others for any reason," telecommunications lawyer Marvin Ammori (he's the man quoted above) observed even before the ruling came down. "Whim. Envy. Ignorance. Competition. Vengeance. Whatever. Or, no reason at all."
