  1. Re:Zeus.com's claims of superiority on Ask Apache Software Chairman Greg Stein · · Score: 1

    The exact line is "Number of web sites", which due to the ambiguity, can be interpreted a couple different ways. No need to flame me because I interpreted it differently than what Zeus was intending. Perhaps you should take this issue up with them to avoid anyone else from making the same mistake in the future.

  2. Re:Zeus.com's claims of superiority on Ask Apache Software Chairman Greg Stein · · Score: 1

    Go to the line in the feature comparison chart that says, "Number of web sites". This line states that Zeus has "1 million +" web sites, while Apache has approximately 6,000.

    The Netcraft web server survey on the other hand shows Apache at 50,502,840 servers and Zeus at 56,1524. I am much more likely to believe Netcrafts figures than Zeus' biased sales propaganda.

  3. Zeus.com's claims of superiority on Ask Apache Software Chairman Greg Stein · · Score: 1

    Greg, I am intrigued to know your reaction to Zeus.com's claims (http://www.zeus.com/products/zws/features) that there are more websites running Zeus Web Server than Apache. Not sure where they got their numbers, but Netcraft (http://news.netcraft.com/archives/web_server_surv ey.html) definitely does not agree...

    You need a PC with some recent flavor of Linux. Then you buy a card from Digium to interface with T1, ISDN, VOIP, or POTS lines. For example, this card will support a mix of standard analog phones and POTS lines up to 4 devices/lines.

  15. Re:Why do Fax machines still exist on fax.com Finally Fined $5M For Fax Spam · · Score: 1

    I work for a company that has 8 fax machines, and everyday each machine gets at least one junk fax. What we need is a fax machine that is capable of providing a "challenge" to the remote sender, such as an audible message stating, "Please enter your authorization ID". Then the sending machine would have to enter a valid ID to be transmitted to the recieving machine in order for the recieving machine to accept the fax. The solution is you only get faxes from people you do business with, and no junk.

    The simple fact of the matter was this guy was a temp. Microsoft did not fire him, and he has absolutely NO job security. I worked as a temp doing a Y2K upgrade for Ci**bank, and they have the right to dismiss anybody at anytime for any reason. That's just one of the many fun aspects of being a temp.

    replace the $1 and $5 bills with coins. Harder to counterfit, and much longer lasting. I just visited Canada, and they do not use bills for anything less than $5. They have a dollar coin with a picture of a loon (type of duck) which they call a loonie. They also have a two-dollar coin which looks like a euro that they call a toonie. Who says Canadians don't have a sense of humour.

  24. Re:Ugh on US Shrugs Off World's IP Address Shortage · · Score: 1

    Close, but no cigar. The actual IPv6 addresses will be like the following example obtained from Microsoft Press"

    IPv4 addresses are represented in dotted-decimal format. The 32-bit IPv4 address is divided along 8-bit boundaries. Each set of 8 bits is converted to its decimal equivalent and separated by periods. For IPv6, the 128-bit address is divided along 16-bit boundaries, and each 16-bit block is converted to a 4-digit hexadecimal number and separated by colons. The resulting representation is called colon hexadecimal.

    The following is an IPv6 address in binary form:
    00100001110110100000000011010011000000000000000000 10111100111011 00000010101010100000000011111111111111100010100010 01110001011010

    The 128-bit address is divided along 16-bit boundaries:

    0010000111011010 0000000011010011 0000000000000000 0010111100111011 0000001010101010 0000000011111111 1111111000101000 1001110001011010

    Each 16-bit block is converted to hexadecimal and delimited with colons. The result is:

    21DA:00D3:0000:2F3B:02AA:00FF:FE28:9C5A

    IPv6 address representation is further simplified by suppressing the leading zeros within each 16-bit block. However, each block must have at least a single digit. With leading zero suppression, the result is:

    21DA:D3:0:2F3B:2AA:FF:FE28:9C5A
