TL/DR, it says that your 10,000 websites running IIS would be completely ignored by the Netcraft survey of "active" sites, they have an algorithm in there to completely ignore templated "parking" pages and the like.
I'm pretty familiar with the Bible and its teachings, and I can categorically say that anyone who claims that God hates any particular category of sinner is not following the teachings of Christ, and therefore is not a Christian.
Maybe the response from.net developers is more rooted in the fact that a JS/HTML5 based application development language brings a whole lot more developers to the party with less of a learning curve.
Coders write text files for a living, all these programs (vi, emacs, textmate, even notepad.exe, hell, why not?) are, at their core, text editors. Beyond that...
I love watching religious arguments, sanity leaves otherwise rational people:)
You know why I love topics like this one? The inevitable Slash-Dot geek off. This is how I learn about a lot of subjects, like here, I don't know astronomy too well, but I know SD has the people with the skills. The trolls are just comic relief.
1. The idea is to increase linux usage, doing something to protest its usage is non-productive at best, and if you are going to protest, might want to start with China. 2. Does anyone really think the United States Army gives a rats ass if this guy is the head of the LA LUG? Will they even notice? 3. There is no three. 4. Would we rather them run something more crash prone? "Here come the bad guys!" "Wait, I have to reboot the tank!"
Linux is, and needs to be, A-Political, because I am pretty sure Windows is. There are better, and more effective ways to protest a war, maybe starting with writing your congressman?
Yes, you actually do need to say something else. You are making an Ad Hominem argument.
I believe in freedom, I don't particularly like big corporations limiting my choices, but when it comes to making a hardware or a software decision at work, I go for the best tool for the job. I want the best routers? Most likely, I am buying a Cisco. If Microsoft made the most effective server software, I would pay for it and use it.
This hearkens back to the Bitkeeper argument over source control and the linux kernal. In your house, what you play with isn't all that important. In business, you have to make decisions based on the quality of the tool, not necessarily the intentions of the people who created it.
Take a look around, you may find that it is not necessarily worth it to build your own. A lot of the white box builders charge less than $50 (the one I use locally charges $30) to assemble and test a custom PC. When you are talking about something that is already costing $800 to $1500 or more, the extra cost doesn't quite make it to the "quite a few bucks" category, and it can save you a lot of hassle, especially if you have to deal with a bad piece of equipment. I have both built my own and bought preconfigured, and if I am buying a full system at this point, I will go with a custom preconfigured every time. I just don't need the headaches.
I saw links on kpmg under "help" to www.microsoft.com and www.netscape.com... you suppose they made agreements with them before linking to their sites?
You have to know that the higher ups are just trying to milk as many paychecks out of it as they possibly can before the show is over, and they don't care about you, or your friends working there, except that you are making them money.
Jump ship, move on. You will be in a better position and can help yourself and help your friends.

DAMMIT EMACS!
Throw 10,000 cnames pointed at a single machine serving up parking pages, and boom - 10,000 websites running IIS.
I hate to say RTFA, and maybe click on some of the links inside, but you should. One of the links is this one describing how they determine what is an active site.

I am pretty sure you just defined the No true scotsman falacy
That the new combo OS, WebDroid, will be upon us?
This is the best I could find on the ICRC site. The Daily Mail is being a bit obnoxious, but the reality on the ICRC site is pretty stupid.
I play video games to do things I can't (shouldn't, wouldn't couldn't) do in real life, is this so surprising?

Use what works for you and gets you paid.
Your point is valid, but they do not deny this. It is sometimes intended as a political statement:

I would think that any contest for assembling a computer would involve actually turning the computer on to test if you did it right.
But this one goes to 11!

Just my opinion.

Well I have this girlfriend in Niagra Falls...
Now that Bill has solved the security problems in his products, he is moving on to spam. Way to go!
is it me or does Cloppix sound like a STD?
