you people are content with using minimum wages, professional organisations, max weekly work hours, weekend holidays, yearly paid vacation days, retirement, security and all that.
these are ALL socialist concepts. annoyed ? well you should be. these were not around at the period 1750-1850 when full fledged capitalism was driving the industrial revolution. people were working from 6-7 to 21 at night and having only a short stint off on sunday mass in a weekday. no retirement no security no defined working hours and no other crap.
wake up to the fact that there needs to be socialist elements in a society for the machine which we call the society to function well. sometimes you americans speak like you have still not been able to come over MacCarthyism.
aaah - im not a socialist. but i know every stuff has their useful place and put them there in practice.
in one box only on LAMP - and this number does not count in sites that are constructed by parked domains (you create a subdomain, park the domain on the subdomain, and voila - it acts like a web site from the same account), subdomains and whatnot.
we are a small web hosting business, yet we alone host this number just in one box very satisfactorily. there are zillions of other small business web hosts like us, who host even more. almost all of these are on LAMP - red hat or bsd preferred.
therefore i dont think that the above article and the stats it presents can be respected for conclusions to be drawn upon them. one thing i know is iis do not have any notable thing in this scale of web hosting world for small businesses and personal customers and communities. it just doesnt exist to the extent that we never had the need or urge or justification to set up any iis boxes even for trying out giving things like asp and whatnot which work on it better to people who ask them. and there were almost no people asking them since 2003 december.
whereas php is "known to suck" by/. crowd, unlimited numbers of small and medium businesses are creating big stores with oscommerce, creloaded and likewise wariants and zillions of people are gathering up in communities which are built on phpbb, nuke and such.
if something sucks, you cant provide anything to zillions of people on it. if something can do that, there must be something to it.
noone cares whether this or that forgotten or known-to-none language/scripting stuff has a phletora of tricks and they rule or whatnot. people in the wild just want things done, want things fast, want things cheap. thats the mindset that has driven human commercial and technological evolution, and those who couldnt comply with it have been forgotten, those did, became the norm.
there are configs that you cant do with IIS's point and click config interfaces. These you can do with apache. when in a production environment that serves many hosting clients, this is a matter of life and death.
Once configured properly, an apache web server is as solid as the thing it generally runs on : linux.
once you get to know the config, its configurable as in any way you can imagine - pro stuff.
if you are serving hosting COMMERCIALLY to people, there is apache, and iis doesnt count. you only need it for people who need to use asp and ms stuff.
it people do. clients with us for example, do not care whether hottest thing is sliced bread or newly washed sock. they just put their site, and happy that it works as intended. lamp does that.
small corporations/businesses who have been naturally building all their infrastructure on microsoft stuff eventually set up "web sites". they dont go shared hosting, they generally do not understand it, and if they understand they dont trust it, they have a small it section and hence naturally, IIS is the choice, to set up a web presence by their own, as all their tech, knowledge and it people are microsoft certificated. they put a box reaching out to net and put iis on it. we are seeing many of these around here - web sites that even do not receive 5-10 unique visitors a month except for search engine bots. these do not qualify as "web sites" methinks, and they definitely do not qualify as "web servers".
Not before 1 year even after last exp, a new expansion comes forth. Why ? Probably to "counter" age of conan, which has a vastly superior world, lore and reputation over warcraft, warhammer, which has considerable following, and potential fallout mmo.
Curious is that the solution they found is introducing more levels, items, grind to the game before even the last expansion hasnt been fully lived out - totally making long tbc grind of people for levels, items and rep obsolete, and forcing a new zone without even the old one have been fully treaded.
Not only that, but they are going the "jedi" way like soe did with swg, which was the main reason swg broke subscriber losing records. Introducing a godmode class to the game which will be uber against all classes and anything compared to the old ones, but will be acquired with much much longer effort and pain and will be another doubled pain to level up and itemize - thereby more milking of the customers.
No sir, im not falling in the same trap. Im going to age of conan as soon as it comes - at least world, lore, atmosphere there is not screwed up yet, and its much harder to screw over like wow did while trying to expand the world with their already fragile lore after warcraft 3. If im going to grind and milked, at least ill do it in a bigger, richer world which has much longevity and history compared to wow.
if you had done that, entire world would be using your licensed crap right now.
good thing that you didnt, though. else there would be no linux. for you ms fanbois out there who will go ablaze when reading what i post, im not a linux fanboy, and despite that i think that way.
Did they now ? I feel very strongly about them too, and i would like to explain my feelings in a very much Turkish way, however civility for the sake of slashdot bars me.
"Victim" - those morons do not know the real meaning of being a "victim".
pointer of nothing. other than being able to be intravert and memorize what is told to be memorized. actually entire education in most of the world is that.
high iq people/kids generally subconsciously shun many segments of the population, and therefore do not go into social interaction. once they are in a crowd that they think they are worth, they go out blazing.
but expecting sex to be some magical experience with your soul mate is really setting yourself up for disappointment.
and how so ?
or you'll spend the rest of your life wondering what sex with other women would be like.
note that its very unlikely that a person which has a mindset that is susceptible to above mentioned flaw can neither find his/her soulmate, or find a person that s/he will respect and love.
've known seem to regard sex as being the pinnacle of human experience
only if they are into meditation, spirituality, have a developed character, have their sight and heart open and with a partner who has the similar qualities - then it becomes the pinnacle of existence.
Ah... I see... so it's Microsoft's fault that you are a propagandist and liar!
..... At least you admit your irrational bias, and pathetic fear.
yes, yes i confess i cant take it anymore !!! ive been spreading microsoft fud all my life, since i touched the keys of a sinclair zx spectrum back in 1982 while i was 7 years old !!! god i cant stop it since then. if i dont spread enough anti ms fud that day, i wake midnight sweltering from the anxiety and run to the pc to spread fud. its like drugs !
if ms didnt have a legacy of providing fud or pulling out unbelievable stunts on its customers or partners, there wouldnt be that much anti-ms fear and its fud spreading on/.
note that/. is mainly an IT people's place, and there are many people, who were customers of microsoft or worked in microsoft partners who were screwed by microsoft at one point.
theres also great possibility that i dont care for winning him over.
yet, the question is, why someone who does not want to socialize with a crowd goes under the burden of registering with that crowd's place and interacting with them.
Slashdot Mirror
yay for Chairman of Boston University's Computer Science Department.
It is apparent that BU CS department is not a paid underdog to megacorps, and thats an indicator that real CS is very probably being taught there.

we small to medium web hosters and small to medium software houses are just avoiding microsoft trapped vendors.
once you get in bed with microsoft, you wake up screwed - we know from our clients that have done business with them in the past and got blasted.

... strongly enough about it"
Did they now ? I feel very strongly about them too, and i would like to explain my feelings in a very much Turkish way, however civility for the sake of slashdot bars me.
"Victim" - those morons do not know the real meaning of being a "victim".
because i already grinded my way to top, and this is the first grind i made seriously in a mmo game. and i wont do it again.
Keep It Simple, Stupid - for those of you that still didnt know
pointer of nothing. other than being able to be intravert and memorize what is told to be memorized. actually entire education in most of the world is that.
there - i corrected it for you.
high iq people/kids generally subconsciously shun many segments of the population, and therefore do not go into social interaction. once they are in a crowd that they think they are worth, they go out blazing.

note that
hence the antipathy and fear and annoyance.
antisocializing while socializing. totally contradicting himself then ? whos to know ?
theres also great possibility that i dont care for winning him over.
yet, the question is, why someone who does not want to socialize with a crowd goes under the burden of registering with that crowd's place and interacting with them.
what the heck are you doing here then ?
