I use the free version - the paid version doesn't add much (except the PDF reading I now notice, it used to). The WPS office does handle PDF well, as well as DOCX and XLSX.

Love the new handle. Did pub trivia on Tuesday and called our team the same thing. Wonderful to see the guy running it trying to say our name without it sounding rude! Hilarious.

I'd like my old one back but can't get it. Although I'm @Michael-Martin and was the first one of that name here, they have allowed someone else to take the display name after me. Maunder did put it back but left out the Bold and Italic mark-ups, bastard.

That's why I have used it here, I can just imagine the Yanks sounding it out in their heads and then light bulb, they get what it says.

Porky's (1981) - IMDb[^]
That's the first time I heard it! I recall the film was hilarious at the time but probably awful now.

Saw that when I was 14 or 15 on VHS, never laughed so hard in my life. Loved the Lassie scene where the old coach lost his suit sh*t and also where the female coach wanted a line up of student dicks.
Love that the Sheriff's real life name is Rick Butkus.

In the next couple of months, i will be working on a project that will require very solid understanding of DAX (Data Analysis Expressions), the formula language used throughout Power BI. It is also used by Power BI behind the scenes.
Do we have some good articles of this language on codeproject? I have looked around but can't seem to find any. Or does any one know of another site with excellent DAX material from where i can graduate as a DAX Ninja?

"... a closed enlivenment"
That's a rather amusing (presumably) auto-correction.

Auto-correction?
I took note of it as a new term to describe a VPN, nodding "OK, so that's what they call it in his environment. Maybe it is as descriptive as any other term...". As computer guys, we should be familiar with every new paradigm bringing in new terms for old concepts; it happens all the time.
If you have ever been developing software in a 'workspace' model, such as Smalltalk or APL, where you add and remove actors and functions and data structures like in a virtual world (such as Second Life), the term 'enlivenment' certainly isn't far fetched. Expanding the workspace from a single application one to a VPN is an obvious extension, and the term still fits.
It still could be an auto-correction, though. But a good one.

It would be cool if they made the regular ones working properly. I've tried to buy one for my daughter in March. Display battery wouldn't work, they have two batteries somehow. Turns out it is a very common defect with them.

FWIW, both of my first-gen Surface RT and Surface Pro tablets are still working fine. I mostly bring the RT with me outdoors to read. The Pro, for a few years, was my primary device, hooked up to a dock and 3 monitors. It only got (semi-)retired when I got a 4K-capable NUC.
I guess YMMV, but that can be said of any device.

given ms track record with updates it'll fail to fold after update 1, update 2 wont fix it, 3rd update it'll fold itself into a crane (literally a pain in the ass if put into rear pocket), and after update 4 it'll be impossible to unfold.
They'll stop making them after that, then 2 years later announce it's return as a monacle.
