Yes. How disingenuous of a company to be thinking about their bottom line when they form a strategy. In fact, I think that nobody should incorporate the use of these schemata in protest at the fact that Miocrosoft weren't doing this for purely altruistic reasons.
If you have a look round the netcraft site you'll find they have a page dedicated to the fact MS appears to host on Linux.
Condensed notes: MS have vast bandwidth needs to distribute media/software round the world. Akamai are a company specialising in distributing media around the world (which means machines physically around the world so as not to saturate global links). Hence, MS use Akamai to host their media/data.
Akamai choose to host on Linux, hence requests to MS IPs often redirect to a linux server.
Incidentally, the fact MS use Akamai for this rather than cut their nose off by insisting on a Win/IIS from a different distribution company is why I laugh at the person (people) theorising that MS paid domain parking people to switch to Win/IIS in order to subvert Netcraft. Yeah, they're so obsessed with subverting Netcraft rankings that they don't even bother to make themselves look like they're running Windows.
It's posted by Michael. He is pretty much universally agreed to be a jerk. He posts anything that fits his agenda, without even paying lipservice to journalistic integrity.
In Michael terms, this could be considered a rational and reasonable post.
So you're a junior developer, you admit to knowing nothing about security, your company's sales are based mainly around its security, and yet you just...know that actually it's insecure.
You even admit to not knowing where it is insecure, or what needs to be addressed in order to secure it. This is a beautiful troll.
I wondered if someone would pull me up on that before I wrote it. Please enjoy this excerpt:
"It" is a troublemaker. You would not believe that grown-up grammarians would argue over "It is I," but such respected fellows as Samuel Johnson, Roy Copperud and the Venerable Fowler have ruminated on the matter. Consider: "It is I who is entitled to Gertie's silver." Or, "It is I who am entitled to the old girl's candlesticks." In reverse gear, "I am it" is clearly better than "I is it." Aarrgh! The folks at Merriam-Webster say the conflict is not resolved, and you are not going to see it resolved in this space.
Given my interest in grammar, you will almost certainly have to go beyond the conjugation of common verbs in order to catch me out, I'm afraid.
If you're going to try and bash MS, Taco, will you please post a story that actually shows MS doing something properly evil/insecure rather than just opening IE instead of the user's preferred browser?
Proof positive that Linux is faster than a famously half-arsed unoptimisedport of an operating system! I'll break out the Champagne; for a victory of this magnitude we'll need something extremely expensive - like Cava.
Nice coding, dude, except that it will run forever. When you're using a test you use a DOUBLE EQUALS sign, we learnt this weeks ago in class and its pretty basic - your code will just assign 0xFFFFFFFF to the variable over and over.
I'm a bit confused why you'd want to assign a string to a double in the first place, but I guess in C everything is a number at the end of the day so it's still valid.
Is that supposed to be impressive? I mean sure it's nice that Linux is starting to be a viable alternative to Windows and all, but surely this is hardly a great ambassador.
All it's doing is storing some texts and then displaying them on screen. It doesn't even need a TCP stack as there's no webserver and hence networking - it could have run on DOS 3 with a Foxpro backend for heaven's sake!
I wrote an intelligent and witty response, but slashdot went all flakey and ate it. Instead have the link on its own; you'll probably enjoy the whole site, although it's mainly about words and etymology rather than grammar.
Also, I didn't realise that intelligent people were allowed on Slashdot unless they are trolling. You are distorting my world-view.
That was a little disingenuous - you changed the phrases to have subtly different meanings rather than just from metaphor to simile:
Metaphor: "When she broke up with me she stabbed me in the heart"
Simile: "When she broke up with me it was like she stabbed me in the heart"
So, in fact, if anything a simile is less literal a statement, as you are explicitly stating that it's not so, merely a comparison.
And though I was indeed being pedantic, I am only pedantic when someone deserves it, such as when they make a mistake using an unnecessarily bombastic phrase. Actually, I most often correct people when they use the words "whom" and "whomever" incorrectly. Never the other way round, for reasons that should hopefully be clear.

Yes. The thought of a creature with two X chromosomes is horrifying.
Quite a valid set of points. When I choose a web browser, I absolutely ensure it has an adaptive spam filter.
You retarded fuck.
Record breaker Radix was informed today that he will never know the tender caress of a woman.
Not at all.

Gazbo accepts this subtle criticism and promises to try harder next time.
See the hoardes of people lining up.

No. Vintage just references a year. There is no reason to infer anythong about relative age from the word "vintage".
Unbelievable. You've managed to fuck up a Soviet Russia joke. I am incredulous.
You even admit to not knowing where it is insecure, or what needs to be addressed in order to secure it. This is a beautiful troll.
Can it run Linux? :-))))
Perhaps it is not I who is desensitised, but you who is hypersensitive to something as trivial as this.
LOL!

Looks more exponential to me.

yuo == teh suck.
I don't see why you need special equipment to do it for you; maybe some things are better left to the experts?

I'll give you a shout when I get it on sid=100000 so you don't miss it.
