GNAA / Google confirms: Linux is dying.

Here you have it: it's official; Google confirms: Desktop Linux is dying.

Now, you might be thinking this is just another cut & paste troll based on the typical *BSD is dying bullshit.
It isn't.
As you might have know, your favorite search engine, Google, has been running a little statistics service, called "Zeitgeist".
Since about a year ago, they started providing statistics of the operating systems used to access their search engine worldwide.
I will let the numbers speak for themselves:

If you've looked at even a few of these links, you don't need to be a Kreskin to predict Desktop Linux's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Desktop Linux faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Linux on Desktop because Linux is dying. Things are looking very bad for Linux on Desktop. As many of us are already aware, Linux on Desktop continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.

According to Google Zeitgeist, there are about 80% of Internet Explorer 6 users. The only platform supporting Internet Explorer 6 is, of course, Microsoft Windows. These statistics are consistent with the earlier presented graphs of the operating systems used to access Google, with the Windows family consistently taking the top 3 ranks. Out of remaining 20%, the split is even between MSIE 5.5, MSIE 5.0, both Windows-only browsers. Netscape 5.x

On-Topic: This article is a dupe.

One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered *BSD community when IDC confirmed that *BSD market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.

You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict *BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers.

Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.

Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.

All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share. *BSD is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If *BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS dilettante dabblers. *BSD continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, *BSD is dead.

Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered *BSD community when last month IDC confirmed that *BSD accounts for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as further exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.

You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict *BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all.

Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.

Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to another charnel house.

All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share. *BSD is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If *BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS hobbyist dabblers. *BSD continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, *BSD is dead.

Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered Slashdot community when recently a poll on the site confirmed that up-to-date and factually-correct stories account for less than 40 percent of all submitted news stories, that the user-moderation system has fallen to pieces through the oppressive power of the editors, and that subscribers don't need to pay and can use such software as JunkBuster to filter out adverts. Coming on the heels of the latest MSNBC survey which plainly states that Slashdot has lost more readers, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Slashdot is collapsing in complete disarray, as further exemplified by failing dead last [kuro5hin.com] in the recent Kuro5hin technology site popularity test.

You don't need to be a Kreskin [amdest.com] to predict Slashdot's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Slashdot faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for it because Slashdot is dying. Things are looking very bad for the site. As many of us are already aware, Slashdot continues to lose readers. Red ink flows like a river of blood. The subscribers scheme is the most endangered of them all, having lost 62% of its paying readers.

Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

Slashdot editor and homosexual-rights campaigner Rob Malda (CmdrTaco) states that there are 700 paying subscribers to Slashdot. How many normal readers are there? Let's see. The number of subscriber versus reader posts on Slashdot is roughly in ratio of 1 to 4. Therefore there are about 700*4 = 2800 normal casual readers. Anonymous Coward posts are about half of the volume of the typical posts. Therefore there are about 1400 readers who can't be bothered setting up an account. A recent article put the Trolls, who post sexual insults, foul ASCII art pictures and links to vile sites, at about 80 percent of the Slashdot readership. Therefore there are (700+8400+4200)*4 = 19600 trolling readers. This is consistent with the number of Troll posts.

Due to the troubles of Andover.net, abysmal hit counts and so on, Slashdot went out of business and was taken over by OSDN who run another troubled site. Now OSDN is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.

All major surveys show that Slashdot has steadily declined in readership. It is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Slashdot is to survive at all it will be among geeky hobbyist dabblers. Slashdot continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Slashdot is dead.

So why now? Why did Slashdot fail? Once you get over the myriad of incompatible personalities, particularly among the editors who have repeatedly failed to check for serious inaccuracies in their stories (see the FreeBSD 4.5 "release" as a shocking example), it's clear that subscribers will continue to decrease. Using software such as JunkBuster, readers can eliminate adverts without having to pay any money. These two significant factors, along with the corrupted "moderation" scheme (where editors have infinite power over the regular moderators), only confirm yet further that Slashdot's glory days are coming to an end.

You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict *BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.

FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time FreeBSD developers Jordan Hubbard and Mike Smith only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: FreeBSD is dying.

Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.

Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.

All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share. *BSD is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If *BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS dilettante dabblers. *BSD continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, *BSD is dead.

It is official; Netcraft confirms: Netcraft is dying

One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Netcraft community when IDC confirmed that Netcraft market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all surveys. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that Netcraft has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Netcraft is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last [samag.com] in the recent net survey comprehensive test.

In fact there won't be any future at all for Netcraft because Netcraft is dying. Things are looking very bad for Netcraft. As many of us are already aware, Netcraft continues to lose market share.

Web Server Survey Netcraft is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time Web Server Survey developers Jordan Hubbard and Mike Smith only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: Netcraft is dying.

Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

Netcraft Admin leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of Netcraft SSL Server Survey. How many users of Security Testing are there? Let's see. The number of Netcraft SSL Server Survey versus Security Testing posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 Security Testing. Find that site Netcraft posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of Security Testing posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of Find that site Netcraft. A recent article put What's that site running Netcraft at about 80 percent of the Netcraft market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 Netcraft users. This is consistent with the number of Netcraft Usenet posts.

Due to the troubles of Security Testing, abysmal sales and so on, Web Server Survey is going out of business and will probably be taken over by Netcraft who sell another troubled net survey. Now Netcraft is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.

All major surveys show that Netcraft has steadily declined in market share. Netcraft is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim.

One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered SCO community when Wall Street confirmed that SCO stock prices have dropped yet again, now down to less than a..fuck it, they're worthless. Coming on the heels of a recent IBM statement which plainly states that SCO will be whooped, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. SCO is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Stanford-Binet comprehensive IQ test.

You don't need to be a Kreskin [amdest.com] to predict SCO's future. The hand writing is on the wall: SCO faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for SCO because IBM will kill it. Things are looking very bad for SCO. As many of us are already aware, SCO stock prices continue to drop. Bullshit press releases flow like a river of piss.

SCO is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core credibility. The boring and unpleasant crying of long time SCO executives Darl C. McBride and Chris Sontag only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: SCO is dying.

Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

SCO wants three billion dollars. How many dollars of that will they get? Let's see. The number IBM's lawyers outnumber SCO's to a ration of 1000000 to 1. Therefore there are enough lawyers to crush SCO like a bug. SCO funds aren't even half of IBM's. Therefore there will be no more SCO. A recent article put SCO at about 100 percent of the "Wah-Wah-Crybaby" market. Therefore there are eight corporate executives at SCO. This is consistent with the number of SCO criers.

Due to the troubles of suing IBM, abysmal sales and so on, SCO will go out of business and be taken over by IBM who will laugh their asses off. Now SCO will soon be dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.

All major surveys show that SCO has steadily declined in stock value. SCO is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If SCO is to survive at all it will be among people who thought Big Blue would fall. SCO continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, SCO is dead.

Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.

You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict *BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.

FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time FreeBSD developers Jordan Hubbard and Mike Smith only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: FreeBSD is dying.

Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.

Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.

All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share. *BSD is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If *BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS dilettante dbblers. *BSD continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, *BSD is dead.

Internet Explorer is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time IE developers Jordan Hubbard and Mike Smith only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: Internet Explorer is dying.

Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

Microsoft leader Bill states that there are 7000 users of Internet Explorer. How many users of Opera are there? Let's see. The number of Internet Explorer versus Opera posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 Opera users. Mozilla posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of Opera posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of Netscape. A recent article put Internet Explorer at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 Internet Explorer users. This is consistent with the number of Internet Explorer Usenet posts.

Due to the troubles of Microsoft, abysmal sales and so on, Internet Explorer went out of business and was taken over by SGI who sell another troubled OS. Now SGI is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.

It is official; HP confirms: Algerbraic is dying

One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Algerbraic community when HP confirmed that Algerbraic calculator usage has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all professionals. Coming on the heels of a recent hpcalc.org survey which plainly states that algerbraic notation has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along.

The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time algerbraic's developers Casio and Sharp only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: Algerbraic is dying.

Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

RPN supporter Jean-Yves Avenard states that there are 70000 propfessional users of calculators. How many users of algerbraic are there? Let's see. The number of RPN versus algerbraic posts on comp.sys.hp48 is roughly in ratio of 500 to 1. Therefore there are about 70000/500 = 14 algerbraic users. Sharp DAL (Direct Algerbraic logic) posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of plain algerbraic posts. Therefore there are about 7 users of DAL. A recent article put DAL at about 50 percent of the algerbraic market. This is consistent with the number of DAL Usenet posts.

Due to the troubles of mismatched brackers, excessive keystrokes and so on, algerbraic went out of favor with TI and was taken over by Casio who sell another troubled calculator. Now Casio is also dead, its corpse turned over to cheap chinese calculator manufactures.

Fact: *BSD is dying

it's quite funny - 12+ posts, and he this 'Anonymous Coward' guy doesn't have a clue. He hasn't even said what he's argueing against. I bring up some of his bullshit and he ignores it.

Things the TI bot was wrong about
*Number of keystrokes needed (see his first reply)
*Laplace transformers are table lookups
*RPN has no benefits (see: half assed implementation)

There are others, but I can;t be stuffed getting them. for shits and giggles, here are some essays I wrote on the matter

-----For an example:

( (2+4)^(4+(2^5)/(2*10^3)) )/(4^ (4!))

Alg - 35 keystrokes plus lots of chances to screw up with brackets

vs (e = enter)

2e4+ (6 on stack) 2e5^(6, 2^5 on stack) 2E3e/ (6, ((2^5) /2000) on stack) 4+ ^ (6^204 on stack)
4e4!^ (6^204, 4, 4! on stack) ^ (6^204, 4^4! on stack) / (answer on stack)

22 keys used. I found that no harder to do then algerbraic - and I bet if you had to do that bu hand use use a similair process. It looks cryptic as hell written down like this, but I bet if you spent 15 mins playing with the HP emulator

Common RPN misconceptions

I already know algerbraic. Why should I bother learning a new system?

Because RPN has many advantages. It's quicker, requires less keystrokes and you no longer have to match brackets

But RPN is a pain in the neck!

No. Most RPN users agree that RPN is easier then algerbraic. For instance:

2* (4 + 7) =

is:

4 Enter 7 + 2 *

What's going on here? you are using a stack. Typing 4 then enter puts 4 on the stack. typing 7 + adds 7 to the stack. 2 * multiplies the result by 2. Not only is it easy, but you have saved 2 keystrokes already. now, let's take the square root of the answer:

ALG: sqr ans = 3 keystrokes
RPN: sqr 1 keystroke
Easy!
So, RPN is faster? Why?

Well, 2 reasons. Firstly it takes less keystrokes. Secondly, you no longer have to match brackets. This saves a lot of time
Why would I bother? RPN is as dead as *BSD
No, There Is A New Hope (TM)! HP is reviving their calculator line! Check out comp.sys.hp48 for details or check out this Press Release
hang on, if I make a typo I lose my work!
No. You have an 'undo' key
But I can't see my working!
yes you can. The HP4x series of calculators show full symbolic working
