Netcraft Web Server Stats Challenged

Posted by simoniker on from the he-said-she-said dept.

kolchak writes "An article in The Age has an interesting analysis of the Netcraft Web Server Usage Reports. According to Port80 Software, Netcraft's surveys are biased towards domain name parkers and very small web sites, not taking into account how popular a site may be - there's some interesting results in the competing Port80 survey." However, it should be pointed out that Port80 "develops software products to enhance the security, performance and user experience of Microsoft's Internet Information Services (IIS) Web server."

    OK, see, what I would do is type it out, then copy and paste it into word (or in my case OO), then press f7, fix what is misspelled, then paste it back into the little reply box. This way you don't look like a jackass.

    No matter what you say, no matter how relevant or insightful - if you spell like a 3rd grader you will never be taken seriously.

    > schepticism

    "Schepticism"? What the fuck does "schepticism" mean, and furthermore, what the fuck is a "scheptic"?

    Methinks you need another round of elementary school spelling and grammar lessons.
