Does the license apply to multiple machines I and my family work on? 

Doubt it, just like Office 365 required a family plan. I also have to wonder how many updates Office 2021 would include for the initial charge. Tell me it's five years worth and it'd be worth it, but tell me only until Office 2022 or 2023 comes out and they charge a high upgrade fee or force you to pay list price again and it's not worth it.

Based on Office 2019 and 2016 it will be only one installation for one user on one computer per retail box. They will do bug fixes for a certain period after the release of the next version. There is no upgrade price. You just have to buy the new box - which is a fraction of the price of Office X for example.

One weird thing - Microsoft is only adding new features to 365 updates. The retail boxed versions just get bug fixes.

*and to add to the fun, Microsoft is only allowing installs and update on the latest 3 Mac OSes.

Decades of social movements in US has destroyed American's ability to operate manufacturing plant. The management are tied by human rights and spend way too much time on social issues of the workers. The people and the movement behind it are trying all they can to export this ideology to China and many other countries. But this is against capitalism which Taiwanese actually become better on execution. 

Yes, China is very good at "execution". 

Most people celebrate human rights and the social issues of workers. Workers aren't slaves! Treating them fairly and paying them properly generally results in better productivity and quality.

Mis-management is a different issue and impacts all cultures and industries.

I'm trying to understand how a 60.5GHz radio offers so much slower performance than 5Gz WiFi.

For the interested that's a wavelength under 5mm.

So no mention of Cheney's cronies dismantling Middle-East intelligence operations in the first nine months of 2001 or Condi Rice going out of her way to hide reports on bin Laden connections to plans to attack targets with aircraft?

Sounds like total fluff. Pass.

All that happened in the first 12 hours after the attack? No? Then it's not part of this very focused documentary.

Uhhh, K.

So devices that usually ship in 3-5 days are coming up at weeks? But, no effect?
