The point of having exam centers in the first place is not so much to make it 
more inconvenient for you to take the exam, but really to ensure as far as 
reasonably possible that the person whose name goes onto the certificate is 
identical with the person who is actually taking the exam, and that there is 
no cheating going on. Writing software to present multiple-choice exams isn't 
exactly rocket science, so the real service Pearson VUE is paid to perform on 
behalf of LPI is essentially (a) checking your ID and (b) trying to prevent 
hanky-panky in the exam room.

In other words, if it was in fact possible to take the exam on your own PC at 
home, there would be no way of keeping you from inviting all your LPI guru 
friends over for beer, pizza, and a fun LPI session where everybody discusses 
the answers to the question on your exam (with man pages and Google in the 
background on everyone's laptop or smartphone). This is not really how LPI 
thinks the exams should go, hence Pearson VUE.
