The Chinese (Web Servers) Are Coming

Posted by timothy on from the maoism-taoism-i-ching-and-chess dept.

Glyn Moody writes "The February 2009 Netcraft survey is not the usual 'Apache continues to trounce Microsoft IIS' story: there's a new entrant — from China. 'This majority of this month's growth is down to the appearance of 20 million Chinese sites served by QZHTTP. This web server is used by QQ to serve millions of Qzone sites beneath the qq.com domain.' What exactly is this QZHTTP, and what does it all mean for the world of Web servers?"

    We'd learn some sweet Mandarin phrases, get some space ships, and then live in a pseudo wild-west sci-fi sort of situation.

    Ah, is it still considered phishing when it's a feature enabled by default?

    Just curious.

    Teach one man to phish and he can feed...

    Teach 20 million to phish and you have the Internet.

    Well, in France we wondered why Americans didn't take over all French websites by learning some basic French ;-)

    A) Americans, learn a foreign language? You must be joking.

    B) Taking over French things is the Germans' job.
