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? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt
I was thinking more "Because the NSA insisted".

I upgraded to Office 2003. It works much better -- no ribbon, twice as fast, and no NSA back doors.

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

Basefolder[^] is bluddy cool! No storage limits (it's on your HDD!), no nags, way less risk, etc. than DropBox, gdrive, or (security horror of horrors) onedrive. Just set up a new, ne'er to be used elsewhere e-mail address for it, install it on a machine you never switch off, and Bob's yer mascot! Hopefully, the android ES File Manager boys will add it as a "share to" destination, soon, but its own android app is usable enough.

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.

To quote: "Using basefolder.com you can access your files from anywhere Your files, photos, music etc are not stored in the cloud They are all stored in your private computer. It is safe, secure and PRIVATE!" Umm, if you're using their website to access your files, how is it safe and secure again?

Well, when their servers are hacked (which seems to be a common occurrence with all this cloudy stuff), the hackers won't find your naked selfies, because they're not there.

Well, if that doesn't make the hackers think twice about what they're doing, nothing will.

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.

Translation Error[^] :)
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be. - Dirk Gently/Douglas Adams
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.

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.
You need to study the work of the masters, before you can reproduce it.
