I tried to install my 207 on a windows 8.1 and it was not a supported OS, what bullshit!

Ha!
2003 installed right away on 8.1, with no problems!
Yup, all they do is improve their software...

Why not paper and pencil?
Why not a banana?

Because neither of those give you a similar user interface plus support for modern file formats?

But bananas give you niacin, which we've already established to be the panacea, and writing/drawing manually are good for hand-to-eye co-ordination, so can be instrumental in helping to stave off cerebral problems, but Libre office has absolutely no health-giving properties whatsoever.

At first I thought you were just being needlessly snarky. I must admit now that this is the most reasoned argument I've seen yet for not using LibreOffice.

I know.
But the reasoning behind it being on by default is...?

They're optimizing the user experience for customer service reps who'd otherwise have to help Joe "where's the anykey" Sixpack make it work. Or more likely Joe calling after drinking a sixpack to curse them out before going to a competitor instead.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Did you really mean that, or did you mean "weighing..."? Maybe you are waging war on reason?

I lean toward a translation error; but since the original is in a book in a language I can't read I have no way to confirm it. When I set the sig I struck out on finding an English translation of the whole book; and I don't know any Finish speakers who owe me enough a big enough favor to ask them to read an entire book to find the original.
I got it from the Introduction[^] to another song[^] on an album. "Waging" is used on the recording, the online lyrics[^], and IIRC the album liner (but I'm not going to dig that out of the box now to post a picture of it).

That is one long site/read. Would you happen to know what page caused the mis-translation?
Metallic rock bands are known to like destruction, I wouldn't put it past them to intentionally alter a well-known quote to suit themselves.
There is a statue used in the justice system. I always assumed from the garments that it was a blind-folded young maiden weighing reason on scales to find justice. She's blindfolded to show that she won't intentionally influence the balance of reason to find justice. That came from the free market where goods were weighed on scales and the hawkers weren't above putting their thumb on the scale (tipping it) in order to overcharge the mark. I knew there was a story (or book) behind it, just didn't care enough to find out what it was.

The link opens at the correct page for me. The relevant text is at the bottom of it. If it's opening at the top for you for some reason, it's the bottom of page 22.

You are right, it opened on the right page/location and then jumped around like an SOB, so thanks for the page and location also. I can also see how someone not very conversant with English would think weigh would be pronounced "wage" instead of like "way" or "whey". I can also see how a metallic rock band could intentionally twist a well-known quote to mean something completely different.
The actual quote doesn't say pulseless, but that's the net effect of a petrified heart. Neither condition would allow a man to continue to live, so he couldn't weigh anything either unless he was a denizen of the river Styx too. I believe the boatman there does weigh people's hearts to determine where they need to go.

OK. From that introduction your quote is exactly correct, correctly spelled, as far as I can tell correctly meant and no, I've never seen that. Basically trying to destroy reason by destroying the balance that maintains it. Fits in with metallic rock. If you can't balance and weigh reason, you can't determine the better path for you to follow. Chaos seems to be the goal of that kind of rock. I'm not a fan so that could be an outsider's misconception of its goal.
