Most people drive the day before Thanksgiving because it's the first day of their vacation. They can't really leave on Tuesday unless they drive at night, because most people will be working that day.
My ONLY major issue with Linux is that a lot of the devs think that newer is automatically better. See PulseAudio/KDE4/Gnome 3/systemd/Unity/etc. They get blinded by the new bling and just abandon all of the older stuff that works because it is boring. No one wants to bug-fix or complete that final 10% of polish that would make the program great.
MS Office (miles ahead of OpenOffice, LibreOffice, whatever stupid name they use next), Photoshop, AutoCAD, the list goes on why Linux would not work in the long term.
But it wasn't. After the fact, people tried to say that it was "for devs only", but when 4.0 was released, they were trumpeting it like crazy. I LOVED KDE3. I wish KDE4 had never been made.
We all know you have no intention of donating money to this either. You just want to bitch about someone doing something good to make yourself feel better, because you are likely a loser in real life.
From the bookstore. I like to support the locals. Also, Pennsylvania charges sales tax on any internet orders, especially stuff from Amazon, so there's not as much benefit that way.
Amazon does have tons of books I might not find otherwise, but I still love just wandering around in a bookstore for hours, just browsing. I've found a number of great books that way, that I likely never would have seen just searching a website.
OneNote is kind of like a heavy-duty yellow sticky program, where you can link everything together incredibly easily. It's one of the best organizational programs out there, for people like writers, etc. I honestly think it's one of the best products MS owns.
The main problem is that the railways are now run as profit. Many companies have been bought out by a few large companies (similar to the banks), and when that happened, a LOT of experienced railroad employees were fired. They were replaced with inexperienced people who get paid a lot less, but also make dumb mistakes. The fact that this was an oil shipment means little. They are actually pretty lucky, because a lot of rail cars carry industrial amounts of poison gases. THAT would have caused a lot more problems than an oil spill.

Seriously, how can a billion dollar company that does tons of computer stuff not have a near-impregnable website?

That's one game I really wish was still around. Fuck NCSoft.
Because there is a nurse there under quarantine for ebola, who disregards the quarantine to go bike riding.

KDE3 was my favorite DE. KDE4 got me to drop KDE altogether. I know there was an attempt to fork 3, but it seems to have died. It's too bad.
If you liked Gnome 2, you should seriously check out Mate http://mate-desktop.org/. It's a port of Gnome 2, and works great.
Actually, we are in the warm period between ice flows. This has happened multiple times. We are still in the "Ice Age".
If you do any kind of work for the state (ie. most civil engineering companies), you are REQUIRED to submit everything in AutoCAD.

At least it is Tech news, unlike half the articles on the main page. Or does Tech news not interest you?
I wouldn't be surprised at all if the US didn't set this agency up in the first place. At the very least, we probably provided the initial training.
Because that would be hard. Linux has thousands of programs that are 90% done. Very, very few that would qualify as 100% ready, though.

I hope not. A future controlled by CERN is terrifying.
I find it hard to believe that there is a judge in the USA who has the common sense to actually let this happen.
So, is this a new slant on Agile Programming?

I know it's FUD! It's anti-Linux, which by nature is perfect!!! -Stallman fan
I'm guessing they were lowest bid.
