If it's only a few defective scanners, sure, replace them. But what if eighty percent of the scanners are defective? How is "good" management going to help you?
Let me guess - you are one of those guys that loads up a server with lots of mission critical tasks and then prays that the box never fails.
No, I don't have a network to run, but that still seems like a lot of hardware. Of course, you don't say how big the servers are. It must be nice to be able to afford that much hardware; I suspect that some public schools would have a problem there.
As for the boxes never failing, isn't server hardware reliable, or is it the software that's problematic?
In this case, it was Jimmy Wales foolishly applying his apparent Randian worldview onto the project (he used to either frequent or admin some Randroid newsgroup).
The article on Kant http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kant just doesn't have the disdain for Transcendental Idealism that I would expect from Rand.
I'm not so sure about that. I suspect that science may have been more "popular" two hundred years ago in the sense that it was more open to people. Franklin and his associates could do (then) cutting-edge research in electricity. How many people can afford to do cutting-edge research today? It's so expensive.
Sorry, I don't use kile, as I prefer to type LaTeX directly. But at least I have the option of not having to use a guified math editor. How does one generate math in MS Word without having topoint and click?
Info was the second to the last straw that broke the camels back for me. FreeBSD and all BSD's in general have excelent documentation that is versioned right along with the rest of the utilities. All of it written into man pages, as god intended.
And how does one organize a man page hierarchically? Or did God intend for us to simply read linear text, with no convenient way of finding subtopics?
And how does LaTeX totally ignore the human part of the problem? Does kile http://kile.sourceforge.net/ not exist in your world? Can you not stand device-independent output?

Where is this planet that has a free market in health care?
And how is making a speech a use of force?
Besides, don't the actual businessmen of this world engage in information control all the time?
To the extent that they do this to control people, then they're not Galt.
If they regulate weapons by banning them, how are you going to blow their heads off?
What would John Galt do?
Not attempt to control everything you do or say.
Press conference?

You need fifteen servers per location? One server per twenty clients?
The United States is so clearly the new Roman Empire
Then why is our infrastructure so bad?

info?
Government at its finest!
But what if one produces less than one consumes? People, unlike windows, require a lot of maintenance.

What if young ladies decide that intelligence is a hot property in themselves?
I'm not so sure about that. I suspect that science may have been more "popular" two hundred years ago in the sense that it was more open to people. Franklin and his associates could do (then) cutting-edge research in electricity. How many people can afford to do cutting-edge research today? It's so expensive.
So preferring robust, cross-platform applications is wrong?

Would that "stupid reason" be the ability to organize documentation hierarchically?

I just checked Apple's site. They don't seem to have a Linux version of iTunes.

What frame rate does CAD require? Is X fast enough for full-scale video and fast FPSs?
Except that Linus Torvalds wanted a desktop OS.
X ran quickly on computers with 1/000 the performance of even a modest desktop system today, but it's slow on these modern computers?
I don't mind X, but what applications did people run on those computers?
We can't have ice skaters bashing in the knees of other ice skaters now can we?
So, you've never heard of Tonya Harding, Jeff Gilooly and Nancy Kerrigan, have you?
