Electronics and electrical systems are supposed to be Solved Problems that Just Work when certified electrical engineers design them properly.
(Having said that... I was pretty stunned earlier this year, when, during a power outage, the UPSes in the DC actually kicked in and then the generators fired up. But that's only because twice before, they failed miserably.)
And when the Intranet timecard web site you must use stops working with FF or Chrome, will you heroically stand on principal, not use IE and thus go hungry because you suddenly aren't getting paid, or will you start using IE?
Jeses Effing Christ. It's also not easier to open an IE11 window when running VM/CMS. But the question is about "Edge and IE", you incompetent turd, so what the hell do we care about Linux in this context?
Required web-based systems running SAP and requiring 2FA just don't work well with FF, and Chrome refuses to connect to the server (something to do with TLS, no doubt).
It's more likely a vanished in the way scientists connected to German weapons programs vanished from Germany at the end of ww2.
Preposterous.
#1 PAPERCLIP scientists were glad to go to the US (the two obvious reasons are "not wanting to be pick up by the Sovs" and "doing what they love in a land of milk and honey, compared to war-destroyed Germany") and continue working on rockets.

For a while now my worst-case scenario hasn't been going to jail, but simply vanishing in the middle of the night as soon as some unpleasant government figures out who I am," the hacker said.
It's 2017, FFS. In the West, that insane drivel stopped the day W left office, and is Putin going to throw you in the Gulag, or have a show trial, and the throw you in (a very nasty, but public) prison.
It's also why encrypted email will always stay even less popular than the Linux desktop. (I decides that on the day I went to decrypt some "old" encrypted mail, and realized I'd forgotten the pass phrase.)

it was expected to time shift a small amount of wind energy and provide network services and emergency back-up in case of a major problem.
They had a major problem, and it did what it was supposed to do. How and why does this stun people?
That didn't answer my question.
And when the Intranet timecard web site you must use stops working with FF or Chrome, will you heroically stand on principal, not use IE and thus go hungry because you suddenly aren't getting paid, or will you start using IE?

But it's just easier to open another IE11 window than to fire up FF or Chrome.
Out in the real world, both of Microsoft's browsers are years behind FF and Chrome and lack most of the functionality that users have come to expect.
The Real World is where I get my paycheck. Thus, I use IE11.
Required web-based systems running SAP and requiring 2FA just don't work well with FF, and Chrome refuses to connect to the server (something to do with TLS, no doubt).
Thus, I use IE11 most frequently.
And let's not forget Borking.
Part of what is occurring now is because of the anything that works effort of destroying Obama.
Hardly. I saw the Democrats say the most horrible things about Reagan, and Bush Derangement Syndrome was quite real.
Coinbase stores 98 percent of users' digital currencies in offline safe-deposit boxes
Using external USB drives?
That's barely 1% of the world population. I think that's damned impressive.

#2 Provide links to MSM news stories about extraordinary rendition during the Obama reign.

Kepler is the most accomplished planet hunter in history.
How in the fuck many planet hunters are there, and how long have they been doing it???
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that...

What else is the Boeing CEO going to say, that SpaceX is going to beat them???
Exactly my thought. "Simple data tax" is absurdly naive.
Nowhere did I mention the word "Free", so stop assuming that I mean things that I don't.
Isn't the "work around" to just have a root password (which there should be anyway)?

They won't.
True, but they should, anyway.
Ditto @geoskd, except we only have two kids.
