Or, I could just say..."look at a Dell desktop. Look at a tablet. See the problem. Everything that would be needed in a tablet PC doesn't fit in a tablet PC." Right?
Basically, comparing a desktop to a tablet is BS, dude. Look at a PowerBook G4. Look at a tablet. Everything that would be needed in a tablet PC DOES fit in a tablet PC.
CentOS is basically just a totally free and open version of RedHat Enterprise Linux, and it's really nice. Although there's no one to call if someone goes wrong, it basically offers everything feature-wise that RedHat does. check it out here.

i visit slashdot alot its a great web-site but i might get fired soon because i visit slashdot instead of doing work i have a report do later today and i should of been doing it instead of reading articels.
I have a friend who absolutely loves Linux and uses primarily Linux in his own business. However, he still has three or four workstations running Windows 2000. Why? Photoshop. It's just too much of a hassle to use either Gimp or trying to run PS under WINE. Both are possible, but it just isn't worth it to most people.
In terms of scanning I know of a great piece of software called VueScan...the Linux version is freeware. Might want to try that out.
But just because a program is open source doesn't at all mean that just anyone can modify the code that is actually running on mission-critical hardware.
I have the source to kernel 2.6.9. Uh, but does that mean I can take over just anyone's box? Of course not. Essentially, the code for medical applications, as in your example, should be open, if for nothing else than facilitating peer review. You wouldn't want to make a do-it-yourself MRI scanner running homebrew code, if such a thing was even practical. I stand by my assertion that open-sourcing code, by its very nature of peer review, makes it safer and safer.
But they are *not* a good example of how a company can succeed by *being* generous
How do you figure? Apple's given a lot back to the open source community, especially in terms of user interface and networking. Yes, Apple used to be very unfriendly to open source, but now it's just as easy to dual boot a Mac with Mac OS X and Linux as it is with a PC. And Apple even directly controls the hardware. But back to software; Apple basically re-wrote KHTML for Safari, and then gave it all back to KDE. Rendezvous is also an important project, largely under Apple direction, that probably wouldn't have otherwise caught on.
And don't even get me started on user interface. Apple might not have contributed to this directly, but have you ever stopped to think how much of Gnome and GTK+ is influenced by the Mac OS? Cosmetically, the two are becoming more alike all the time. Example: GTKFileSelection really really sucked. But then Gnome took an idea straight from Mac OS X and brought us GTKFileChooser, which is way more intuitive and easy to use.
In the future, it'll all be even more prevalent. Jabber is coming to iChat in Tiger, for example. It seems like most, if not all, improvements Apple makes to open source libraries/programs all gets given back to the open source community, which is way more than can be said for a lot of other companies.
Uh, HELLO!? Maybe you're forgetting the billion fucking people in the Republic of India, of which English is an official language? Seriously, this kind of ignorance is disgusting.

Absolutely not. How easy something is to launch into orbit has virtually nothing to do with how big it is, only its mass. I suppose I could envision something very large not really fitting into a particularly aerodynamic launch vehicle, but still, mass has much more to do with it than volume.

Besides, PowerBook G5s will be coming soon...
It's a little-known fact that Mac OS X has a very good built-in handwriting recognition engine called Inkwell.
Stuff from six months ago.
Transparent........hard to see. Hmmmmmmmm.
Not if your pub has wi-fi.
All I know is, the Catholic church is going to start banning Powerbooks.
I think EA's position is that you sit down and get back to coding or you're fired and we're outsourcing your job to Nigeria.

No, it is not.
Personally, I like being in the middle.
If people could just learn to write their replies BELOW what they're quoting. Top posting is just wrong.

And free is good.
Why is this modded flamebait? Photoshop works excellently under Mac OS X, as do almost all the scanner drivers I've tried.

Time to move to Canada.
Isn't that like the pot calling the tea kettle black
Please. The proper terminology is African American.

Why yes, a single politician would be a very small group indeed.
