Netcraft Survey Updated

The latest survey is out and ready for reading from Netcraft. There's some interesting commentary in regards to Code Red, and its effects on web usage. One of the things that I found most interesting was the data showing that while the number of sites hosted by Apache continues to grow, the number of physical webservers running some variety of Windows is about half of the total. Worth checking out.

      I was really tempted to flame you down as troll, but I'd rather reply instead.

      OK, so there was a big terrorist attack and many people died. So what? Should everyone just give up their everything they're doing and mourn for the lost souls? Life goes on, in case you hadn't noticed.

  4. Dubya vs Bin Laden by Spootnik · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Osama Bin Laden was sitting in his cave wondering who to terrorize next when his telephone rang. "Hallo! Mr. Bin Laden," a heavily accented voice said. "This is Dubya down in Texas, USA. I am ringing to inform you that we are officially declaring war on you!"
    "Well, Dubya," Osama replied, "This is indeed important news! Tell me, how big is your army?"
    "At this moment in time," said Dubya after a moment's calculation, "there is myself, my cousin Jacob, my next door neighbor William, and the entire rodeo team from the pub -- that makes 8!"
    Osama sighed. "I must tell you Dubya that I have 1 million men in my army waiting to move on my command."
    "Hollyshit!", said Dubya, "I'll have to ring you back!"
    Sure enough, the next day Dubya rang back. "Right Mr. Bin Laden, the war is still on! We have managed to acquire some equipment!"
    "And what equipment would that be, Dubya?" Osama asked.
    "Well, we have 2 combine harvesters, a bulldozer and Murphy's tractor from the farm."
    Once more Osama sighed. "I must tell you, Dubya, that I have 16 thousand tanks, 14 thousand armored personnel carriers, and my army has increased to 1 and a half million since we last spoke."
    "Really?!" said Dubya "I'll have to ring you back!"
    Sure enough, Dubya rang again the next day. "Right Mr. Bin Laden, the war is still on! We have managed to get ourselves airborne! We've modified Ted's ultra-light with a couple of rifles in the cockpit and the bridge team has joined us as well!"
    Osama was silent for a minute, then sighed. "I must tell you Dubya that I have 10 thousand bombers, 20 thousand MiG 19 attack planes, my military complex is surrounded by laser-guided surface-to-air missile sites, and since we last spoke, my army has increased to 2 million."
    "Jesus fucking Christ!", said Dubya, "I'll have to ring you back."
    Sure enough, Dubya called again the next day. "Right Mr. Bin Laden, I am sorry to tell you that we have had to call off the war."
    "I'm sorry to hear that" said Osama. "Why the sudden change of heart?"
    "Well," said Dubya "We've all had a chat, and there's no way we can feed 2 million prisoners."

    I agree about everything except "a very small bill" the people should never be responsible for what the government does. If you want to kill the government, go ahead. Kill the military? At least they are putting their lives on the line willingly. Killing civilians is bad no matter who does it. And yes I know the US has done it. My point is not the defend the US, but civilians. Those people didn't deserve to die.

    Since 1979, his country has been under constant attack.

    Since 1948, his religion has been demonized.

    Since September 11, 2001, he has kept the "most powerful nation on earth" frustrated.

    Osama bin Ladin is more than the most controversial political figure of our time; he is also a man from whom we can learn inestimable wisdom about the political situation in the middle east. Come see why we've established a homepage at amerika.org for Osama bin Ladin and anyone else who wants to read between the lies of U.S./U.N. foreign policy.
