To me the idea of chatting is to talk about things that are happening...
For this to work it needs to happen within the context of some event or thing or understanding from outside the confines of a chatroom (eg talking about some football match, etc)...
Who cares if a bot can a/s/l it up and come on to you...
Sure, but all of the functionality in a spreadsheet is targeted at working with data.
The best solutions with complex data are to embed or link to 'real' databases (or even other spreadsheets, they are after all just tables) from within the spreadsheet... But if you want to get so sensitive about it then you would only ever use a spreadsheet as an analysis tool, and never enter data.. which I think we would all agree is stupid for simple tasks:)
Sure, it would be interesting to see what the average retail price is for CDs considering the huge volume of sales of top 20/40 CDs compared to other (good) CDs.
The question I feel most important is not can netcrafts statistics be misused, which as you say is true of any statistic, but can they actually be used in any meaningful way?
This is a very difficult question to answer when you consider application proxies.
As for working based on traffic, I don't really see how you can measure it, and if you could, it would probably work best to work solely on traffic for the comparison.
I can't believe how many people are complaining about the Microsoft affiliation.
The major point out of this article is that netcraft's statistics are seriouslly flawed.
Apache has dominance in some sectors, but I would anticipate there is serious competition in the enterprise application sector. No simple brute force scan of the web can find this information! An even-handed survey of businesses should do better, of course not saying this is such a survey.
I don't understand why this is getting modded up. When you are talking about a massive rollout of technology, including that much software and hardware, the OS cost would be close to insignificant.
In the end they are paying for it anyway...(outsourcing, support contracts, etc)
In general I think that script-kiddy type hackers would have more of a chance at getting the data. However, one would expect any important communications to happen within an encrypted channel.
One thing to note is that moving internal networks (phone, computer, etc) over to IP is not the same as putting all of these things onto the Internet.
What I am scared of is when the nasty ones from slashdot start smacking goatse or tubgirl on your eyes. And if they were contacts even closing your eyes might not help...Shudders

That makes absolutely no sense at all.
Excel is perfect for creating lists of things, and being used as a way of storing simple data...
If you want to use that data for other purposes or it is at all complex, then sure, don't use excel.
What is a set of numbers, what about a list of data with associated figures, get real...
Sure, it would be interesting to see what the average retail price is for CDs considering the huge volume of sales of top 20/40 CDs compared to other (good) CDs.
Yes.
Most places aren't charging $30 for CDs anymore, the bulk of the purchases (top 20 cds) can be found pretty much anywhere for $20-$21...
It makes sense to me that singles would be where file sharing would hurt the most.
The target audience for singles is different, (too cheap/poor to buy the whole CD), and it much easier to get a single from p2p than a whole album....
If I get a wooden keyboard it has to have wooden keys... Not some cheap keyboard with wood glued on the outside :-)
Consider what will happen when there are more sets in operation that need these bulbs.
Just like some small cars with strange tires cost more..
So, given a properly managed project that is going poorly!?!
If a project is going poorly it is not being managed properly.
Nobody cares about your desktop.
I mean maybe windows doesn't work for you because you have written a special piece of software to download dirty pron.
And how will posting on slashdot have any effect whatsoever on a CEO. I seriously doubt they follow the news here for strategic direction :P
I thought the correct terms were upstream and downstream.
"and have an admin go through the queue to make sure it isn't spam"
FUCK THAT
The key here is to work out what ASCII resolution we need to make a perfect image, bugger the pixels :)
So what OS does this actually happen in?

No, but I would guess that all the semi-random [blah].dyndns.org sites are...

Your point is my point -- that we need to improve the community around other projects, not the ones that already have them established.
:(
a bit of zealotry (not in a bad way)
Zealotry is *always* bad IMHO. It is the most unprofessional attitute imaginable.
Dont mind me, I am trying to write an honours thesis
This contest doesnt seem to have any merit.
:P
Who wants a popularity contest?
It would be much more interesting to find some smaller interesting projects that might not have 'made it' so far yet and give them the chance.
OpenOffice is already given much more support than it deserves
