I am a linux/firewall admin, i have tried to use an iPad for this but its just a pain. What it is good for, and i mean really good is as stated in posts before.. media. I use it for watching youtube, checking /. and playing silly games and it is very good for this. I have searched an article like this for admins but there is none because its a pain to use it for anything else than browsing or watching videos.

What has not yet been lifted in this thread is that OSX and IOS are starting to look a lot more like each other, or OSX is looking a lot more like IOS since Lion upgrade, i think we will see more and more aspects of the mac being locked in. I am seriously looking at going back to Debian for my desktop.

"and that it took them only 8 hours to have a working, if imperfect, app to play with" Wow they made something that is not working in 8 hours, impressive

If you read the wikipedia article.. "It is not known whether any undiscovered Mersenne primes exist between the 39th (M13,466,917) and the 47th (M43,112,609) on this chart; the ranking is therefore provisional. Primes have also not been discovered in increasing order. For example, the 29th Mersenne prime was discovered after the 30th and the 31st. Similarly, the current record holder was followed by 2 smaller Mersenne primes, first 2 weeks later and then 8 months later."

I just use my laptop, use a shoebox for the cables for adsl modem. put an extension cord inside the shoebox, all adapters cables etc inside the box, let wires hang out from a hole in the box.

Its like saying "Big trucks are always better than a fast car"
