any stats will be very rough estimates and completely depend on what B.S. methodology you wish to use. I took distrowatches distro popularity page, took the top 23 which included everything I care about, and normalized Ubuntu 10%
Honestly, the method distrowatch uses is hardly accurate or representitive of marketshare:
It is a light-hearted way of looking at popularity of distribution. Since each distribution has its own page, I though it would be fun to track the number of visitors viewing individual distribution pages. The HPD figure represents hits per day by unique visitors; as determined by the visitor's IP address. This prevents those readers, not disciplined enough, from rigging the results by re-loading the pages multiple times. The idea is to identify which distributions attract most attention and to rank them accordingly. Admittedly, the page clicks by themselves may not always reflect the popularity correctly, but they should, over time, provide an indication about what is hot among the readers frequenting these pages.
That has nothing to do with facebook's tracking. Facebook's tracking works by reading the referer url off their own site (where the image is hosted), the cookies they read are not third party, but their own that were stored on their site.
You run your own address book. Just like in your cellphone.
What? Why on Earth would my mobile phone be manually run!? I much prefer it to automatically download all my contact details that are are usually having a few contacts which have minor changes every month off facebook, Zimbra, Skype etc. which it does right now.
But you are going to remember thousands of domain names?
google, quickfox, subnova, slashdot, zimbra etc. are far easier for me to remember than a bunch of numbers. So, yes, far more likely to remember thousands of domain names than IP addresses.
I can speak for myself when I say that I do. I don't rely on the "smartbar" or search engines for the most part. I would have a hard time remembering IP addresses or random characters.
Otherwise, it prevents whole generations of progressing the art.
No it doesn't. If it did we would not see all this huge amount of fan art, fan fiction in various fandoms (star trek, stargate, star wars, almost every popular cartoon show out there, harry potter etc). I believe this particular claim you have made to be invalid as if it really did stop whole generations, the mentioned fan art, fan fiction etc. would not exist.
In Belgium, there were elections on April 11, 1954. The Catholic Party lost its absolute majority in parliament, which resulted into an anti-clerical government of the Liberal Party (right of center) and the Socialist Party. This change had a major impact on the Belgian educational system, being the "Schoolstrijd" (School Struggle). Not a boring day at all.
What do you want to bet that serious and well-planned out crimes won't include:
Goldman Sachs UK (where to start) Paypal UK (seizure of users' money without refund) Microsoft UK (organized monopoly abuse) Intel UK (organized monopoly abuse) and anyone else who's a paymaster?
I am in the UK and I don't use any of those UK sites. For paypal, when I try to use paypal.co.uk, I end up getting redirected to paypal.com when I login. When I click the microsoft link, I get redirected to microsoft.com, intel.co.uk just redirects me to intel.com.
Yes, I don't think a 302 HTTP code is enough to get those domains 'blocked'.
If I can get in trouble for merely saying something, I don't think it's really free speech.
Not much different in the US then, since you can get arrested for pointing out how to bomb the white house, for example, pointing out a BGM-109 in some specific window would deal the most damage and likely kill the most of people.
Largely propaganda driven in the media against certain groups/ethnicities; in particular the Muslim population has been targeted for example by CCTV
I can't really comment on this, since I don't have the data they have that profiles terrorists, I don't see you having it either.
The new government is stripping out housing benefit and cutting down the length of time you can 'own' social housing to two years minimum (previously they were owned for life) and if your earning power increases above an arbitrary threshold they'll toss you out
There are different view points, "New council house tenants could lose their homes within two years if they get a job, and local authorities will be able stop social housing going to those who fall behind repeatedly with their rent". If you're failing to pay your rent, it's because you're not spending the money you were given to pay the rent to begin with. The requirement to move after two years of having a job is to free up homes for the ones who actually need the accomodation and are unable to afford it on their own. The problem the govnernment faces is that they build a lot of new council homes, people move in when they're vulnerable and never move out, which means the government needs to build even more homes for the people living off benefits because the government cannot afford to buy the vacant homes from the already pre-existing home market out there for each individual - Buying such homes only reinforces them to stay in them while living off the government money. The council houses were never meant to be lifetime homes to any given individuals. Of course there is the counter argument that people who get a job don't become fully self sufficient within two years, but regardless, I am not seeing this whole implied 'sky is falling'.
Posting AC because I really don't have any faith in this country any more.
Honestly, countries need more than faith to run properly. The UK isn't exactly a perfect place, but I have lived in other countries and the UK at the moment has a far less screwed up government compared to Poland for example - Yet the people of Poland are managing and are working on improving things. This whole faith thing doesn't do much for anyone.
Slashdot Mirror
Honestly, the method distrowatch uses is hardly accurate or representitive of marketshare:
Use Wikipedia's xml export periodically.
Extra bandwith is handled by Amazon, no?
Please provide reliable market share statistics, I can't find any.
It was, so technically there is no problem now. Thanks for reassuring me!
Please don't waste the IP address space, kthnxbye.
No, he wants a one click 'slashdot this site', to take down enemy sites.
That has nothing to do with facebook's tracking. Facebook's tracking works by reading the referer url off their own site (where the image is hosted), the cookies they read are not third party, but their own that were stored on their site.
Freenet suffers from a few problems involving retention of information and the lack of userbase capable of using it.
Nope, I don't. Why would I think that? That's just silly. You obviously have no grasp of what I am talking about.

Is that why I ban TOR relay nodes on my IRC network since only ban evaders appear to use it? Great security strategy.
Have no fath in Anonymous Coward, they are working for themselves and for their partners, more or less crooked trolls like GNAA.

Yesterday's actually. Today's hasn't been posted yet.
Boooooring!
Isn't that because the UK uses mod.uk for millitary (Ministry of Defense)?

Maybe if reasonable sources were cited and by reasonable I mean a source like the BBC, not some person's raging blog.
Yes, but not to protect the citizens due to extreme risk involved as mentioned on the article you sourced.
Honestly, if the EU can't even account for 90% of their budget, creates laws that destroyed habeas corpus, removed judgement by their peers in various circcumstances... What makes you think that they're not corrupt enough to stop this when it's within their interests?
