If (generic) you left large tracts of undeveloped land in towns, didn't dedicate hundreds of hectares to monoculture, and stopped killing them with pollutants, there would not be a need to ship them around.
By whom? I largely blame prohibition and overfishing of cod.
(For a creature with a generational reproductive rate of about a month or two to take over 30 years to become a problem requires a bit more evidence than 'blame'.)
I'm sorry, but as a VMS guy, it's really hard to watch a Unix guy get a chuckle at somebody else given their chosen OS's inferiority and not have a chuckle about it myself.
We found a distinct part of the brain that, if more developed in a particular way, lets one know that he sucks at making correct decisions. For everyone else, they don't realise that they suck.
From the preface to the 1703 (corrected edition) of 'The True-Born Englishman':
I should have been concerned at its being printed again and again by pirates, as they call them, and paragraph-men; but would that they do it justice and print it true according to the copy, they are welcome to sell it for a penny if they please. [Emphasis mine]
Note that he was much more sanguine about the piracy after three years (the poem was originally printed for sale in 1701) in that it provided a vast audience for his work who, otherwise, would not have been able to afford it. This helped lead to his becoming celebrated during his lifetime.

'Imagine if Linux[sic] would have asked Tanenbaum on how to make a good kernel.'
We might have got a good kernel.
(Sorry, I couldn't resist)
Gee, we got caught; better do it differently next time. (After all, there's no penalty).

I thought it was a brand of expensive suit.

'I don't understand why people are so up and up about the voting system...'
Because letting a bad system become worse is not a good way to improve it.

If I could get FrameMaker at a good price, I'm for it!
In the long run, we're all dead.
So; it would have been fine had they used *BSD ;^)
Jeez, I realise that attention spans are diminishing these days, but this is ridiculous!
No; structured analysis and design is here to stay as are the great beers of the world!

'Regardless of the rest of the settlement or even the rest of his money, 14 mil would have me sizing up early retirement.'
And that's why you don't have 14 mil! ;^) You'd probably rather enjoy life in your own way (and have other interests) than only work at a job.
Actually, many of us did. Many also did not and many did not consider the question.
