    Considering how many average Americans vote out of raw emotion anyway, expecting them to intelligently dissect the issues is a little beyond their ability. Most of them can't even program the VCR.

    And considering the fact that the winner will get to pick 3 supreme court justices (hence setting the tone for laws in our country for the next 20 years), it's no wonder this has degraded into a schoolyard brawl.

    I see evolution has left you behind. How sad. When you learn what your brain is for, you may realize that Microsoft is about making money... EVENTUALLY!X-box, Microsoft games, CRM, they are all in the red still. Oh you thought red ink was for profits? Come down from the tree sometime monkeyboy, I have a few trciks to show you.

    As for it taking too much time, wouldn't creating a new gaming platform take too much time, wouldn't cvreating web TV take too much time? I can go on and on about how your logic fails and yet those neurons of yours still wouldn't fire. Truly amazing.

    The fact still remains...

    a) Microsoft wants to eat it's own dogfood.
    b) Microsoft has the ability to eat it's own dogfood
    c) Cost would not prevent them from eating their dogfood
    d) Lack of profit would not prevent them from eating their own dogfood
    e) Their dogfood tastes like shit

    So simple even a grub eating, flea picking, knuckle jockey like yourself should be able to figure out... in time. I don't expect miracles after all :)

  7. Near 17% on Mozilla Usage Doubles in 9 Months · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Your right. It's near 17% when you consider that Netscape is now based on Mozilla code.

    And this survey is based on several sources, not just their own stats. I can tell you as a developer for a Microsoft vendor where 98% of our traffic is directly from the Microsoft employees, 5% of Microsoft employees use Mozilla.

    So if it's that high even on the MS campus, you can easily expect that 15% elsewhere.

    Your logic (if that's what you call it) can be applied to yourself in the wrong dept.

    Microsoft researchs it's companies well, especially companies that supply it with tech services. The company that they are reselling web hosting through uses only Windows and IIS; it's PART OF THEIR CONTRACT! A contract is a piece of paper that is legally binding in a court of law. You still with me?

    They do this with ALL vendors who supply Microsoft with technical services.... ALL VENDORS! Lots of people are willing to supply them with services only on their OS and using only their tools. Microsoft as a client can be a big boost top your company.

    So why this one exception? Microsoft is very insistent on eating their own dogfood. You said they don't want a server farm but they have several already and it could easily find use when not being DOS'ed. They could easily do this themselves, they could hire someone else to do this. But they allow it.

    Face facts. They can't do it or else they would. If they could hire someone to do this with MS products, they would do that in a split second. But they can't because their product can't.

    Give it up already and get back to work Bill.

    Well considering how last time this happened and it was in all the papers saying that Microsoft was running Linux, they tend not to like that sort of thing... I should know, I'm a webdeveloper for a vendor for Microsoft whose offices are right across the street from them in Redmond.

    They switched all their hotmail servers off Linux, they switched all others istes off BSD. They want everything Microsoft running on Microsoft products; it's their motto: eat your own dogfood.

    So why is their load distribution being handled by Linux systems? Wouldn't they want to eat their own dogfood? They are doing webhosting now and they don't use Linux, Apache, PHP or mysql... so why allow this?

    There is only ONE answer. They can't compete. Having a server farm is ideal for lots of projects. Distributed computing, R and D, render farm, etc. Microsoft already has server farms over there... so what's one more?

    Face facts, their software is a system hog with too many openings and opportunities for failure. They aren't doing it because they can't do it.

    Yeah... nice try. Using your logic, 500 traffic tickets for Linux would be equivalent to 50 murders by Windows.

    Also try to keep in mind that Microsoft is OFTEN told of these exploits 6 months to a year in advance and they STILL remain out in the wild until someone actually builds the tool to take advantage of the exploit. At which point millions of machines must first suffer before they will take care of the problem.

    Actually, Microsoft has the money to EASILY handle this themselves. But their OS can't handle it. So what does Microsoft do? Spend money on a bunch of Linux machines themselves (which would REALLY look bad) or pay an outside company to do it? Ding ding! You guessed right!

    The fact remains that Microsoft could NOT do this with their own OS. If they could, they would have by now.

    Actually, in web development, there is client side coding and server side coding. That which doesn't have to be run on the server, shouldn't. But because most web server people are constantly worried about security, they like to maintain control.

Quite honestly, I have clients crash FAR MORE than servers... especially when you aren't there maintaining them like your server.

    Your problems sound more like a problem with the way the tool was built and the database was optimized. Can't really blame that on web development. And as I was saying, this is NOT THE WAY TO GO, if you plan on building desktop apps, but if you want something to be accessed by people all over the place and be database driven, you still have yet to convince me.

    As for using ASP, that explains your problem right there. That stuff is a nightmare of crap. Should have used PHP :)
