What's next? "All this security measures for this 4 planes a year that get hijacked?"
"All this bombs for this really small percentage of women that are being tortured?"
well, as the mac article points out, the Hitbox users aren't really representative...
But what about Google??? About everybody uses google... So let's see what they have to tell:
Windows (all versions): 93 %
Macintosh: 4%
Linux: 1%
Other: 4%
Detailed figures on browsers and operating systems on their site. I think Google can be considered quite representative, not?

Smalltime Wireless ISPs
·
· Score: 3, Informative
This is the same guy of the utterly cool "Homebrew Dsl" (covered in this Slashdot story)
Back then, he said:
"So, having looked into wireless... My POP is at a very low point of town and it is right beside a rock bluff. Wireless would also cover the downtown corridor very nicely but it would also be limited in distance and would be much more expensive to get up and running. Especially when you consider that I would probably have to put in a point-to-point system to feed a multipoint-to-point system on top of one of the local grain elevators (If the grain company would let me)."
Better filter based on the agent's ip (googlebot.com) rather than its user agent, since the latter is can easyly be faked (trough configuration, changing source code or using a simple intermediate proxy identifying itself as "Googlebot").
I have worked at one of Belgiums biggest ISPs. They frequently organise all sorts of events.
Some things I remember out of my head:
- every monday Company Breakfast
- every friday "Happy Hour" after work
Every floor has got his own kitchen, with names like "Bunny Heaven" or "The 7th Heaven" (the 7nd floor).
There are two company mailinglists, one for announcements like birthdays, out-of-offices and the likes, and one for jokes. Also, each department has got his mailinglist for department-wide communication. This helps to get to know other people from other floors, which is not so obvious when you're helldesking all day long.
Then there are company parties... And when I say party I don't mean "everybody takes off his tie and chats in his suit", but "the party was so good we weren't allowed to hire that building ever again."
There is karting, paintball, city-by-night,...
When I left there was an action "The sales people challenge the Support people to help sell DSL accounts. If the helldesk sells X accounts by X, there will be a party. If they sell XX accounts, there will be a huge party, if they sell XXX accounts, there will be a giant party..." You get the picture...
Anyway, it was a nice place to work, and you definitely got to know other people. But indeed you didn't know much actual personal details of one another, but I think that's mostly because of the type of job. (or the lack of private life of the other employees)
Nor did it render PNGs...
I'm not sure about transparent gifs??
But for the rest it comes pretty close to what I've got in my personal browser archive...

Looks like he finally convinced them...
is that California would ask Microsoft to take the approach RedHat suggested. (In short: MS buys the hardware and RedHat gives away the soft)

1) No one obliged you to visit Salon
2) I really prefer interstitials to pop-whatevers.
3) That's all... There is no 3d point, you may read on now.
