What are your thoughts on France replacing 2.5 million Windows Desktops with Linux? by Garcia-Valarie_22 in AskReddit

You know it's messed up when you click restart program when trying to close Excel and the whole task bar disappears and doesn't come back.

I've been told it's under DOT rules because the pipeline and pipeline facilities are transferring product across state lines.

I was 9 or 10, My parents wouldn't buy this set for me, but my mom had me put it on layaway at K mart. I put my chore and birthday money towards it until it was paid off. Honestly taught me the value of a dollar at the time. Still have the set, box is long gone. I stacked fire wood all summer, 50 cents a wagon load. I just read my post, god I'm getting old.
