Ill hop off of paypal as soon as i am given an alternative. with that, i mean not pointing to similar companies - a real alternative that is as good as paypal. i mean it.
In our time, the only ones not informed about their governments' doings are the citizens. this means, us. all the supposed enemies have capabilities to acquire information that is supposedly 'secret'. only, we, 'the people' dont.
its high time we started to learn what is being done with our taxes.
you shouldnt trust netcraft. first, microsoft does a lot of trickery in order to show market share in server market too, not unlike any other field. once, they had a deal with godaddy to serve parked domains from iis servers. this lead to a lot of apparent 'sites' appearing to be served from iis servers. however, in actuality these were just parked domains, pointing to the same boxes. at that period it inflated the statistics considerably.
it is impossible for 3rd parties to make a statistic of this, since shared hosting/datacenter business is a HUGE business. softlayer rents servers to web hosts, and web hosts resell vpses (nowadays called 'cloud' servers), shared accounts and so on to end users. and all of these run around linux versions. these happen to be either end resellers, which rent a reseller account sell shared accounts to end users, or end users themselves.
a single standalone linux box may be serving over 200 different websites owned by 200 different people. this was a few years ago actually, modern boxes are much more capable, and disk space and bw fees hit rock bottom. i assume people are hosting up to 300-500 low traffic sites now.(maybe at last 1000 uniques daily each). and this kind of business is a plenty.
the big datacenters at the start of the chain are like
softlayer
rackspace
hetzner
liquidweb
leaseweb
these sell globally. anywhere from kamchatka to brasil.
then there are big shared/reseller host sellers like hostgator. on top of that there are tens of thousands of intermediaries that buy servers from the big ones or house servers and rent servers out. im not even going to make an estimate about small outfits that sell shared hosting.
and im totally leaving out the farms the likes of google et al built over linux. chances are high that, wherever you are hitting that is not microsoft, you are hitting a linux box. just keep watching the return headers the servers send you by installing a firefox plugin over the next week. over 90% will be apache and its clones, which stand on top of linux boxes.
server means linux in web hosting and datacenter world. there is no mention of microsoft at all. those companies which offer ms based hosting offer it as a specialty, niche market. not as mainstream market. in short - whatever site you visit on internet, chances are 90% that its running on apache on a linux stack.
let me tell you as an industry insider in web hosting/datacenters that server = linux since a long time ago. the question is, which flavor of linux. the most used and accepted one so far is centos. those who want to handle the support bill use red hat enterprise. debian and clones, opensuse come after. ubuntu is just a new entry.
community forum for hosting/it/datacenters. you can find all kinds of people from industry, ranging from (now the biggest datacenter in u.s.) softlayer, much lauded rackspace to obscure indian company to kids who are trying to do hosting with their mothers' credit cards.
what the article talks about is Dynamic range compression, where the loudness of the piece is bumped up, losing the less loud bits (generally thinner notes) in the process.
it causes 3 things :
- heavy bass/loud voices.
- lost clarity of the song
- ear tiredom over time by listening to such DRC pieces.
it can be amended by crystallizers, software or hardware to great extent - x-fi x-treme music cards have it in their driver, and it works to great extent. but not everyone may have x-fi. the solution comes in with the below software :
download this, run it, and turn on crystallizer in the plugins. set it to 5 or 8 depending on your speaker setup. also turn on equalizer, and adjust it accordingly. (bump up middle ranges in between 100-800 hz, the human voice, and keep the 60 hz and down (bass) a bit low. you can bump up higher frequencies a bit more for clarity.
you will see that you were listening to music as if it was 'muddy' before. it makes that much difference.
on top of this, you can acquire srs labs audio sandbox, or hd audio sandbox ( or whatever they were calling it now) from srs labs. it is a postprocessor, and if you choose 'wow hd' in 'stereo' selections and then bump 'definition' slider all the way up, your music will be much much more clearer. dont forget to arrange your speaker size slider accordingly too.
What, do you really believe there are "millions in china, japan, russia" (or even in USA) who've got no other things to do but going after random american corporations' sites?
had you any knowledge of the science that is statistics, you wouldnt need to ask me that question.
If it was me, I'd have downmodded you just for not using capital letters at the beginning of sentences. My seven year old can manage it, why can't you?
that would mean that you are just a despicable grammar nazi who pays attention more to form than the actual content of things. such people may refuse the greatest of poems because they are written on a crumpled piece of paper with bad handwriting, or excellent ideas because they are drawn on a piece of napkin. in short - morons.
PS it's considered bad form to whine about the moderations you receive.
no wonder in the above case you are concerned more about the form than any kind of injustice.
really. please stop participating in society. people like you screw everything up for everyone.

HBGary morons threatened a panelist out of a defcon conference.
as much as i came to learn the hackers from these events, such an act in hacker language has the meaning of 'come fuck me'.
these idiots will never learn.

so, i may have even underestimated with 90%.
it has been years since i joined and started donating.

so that this patent shit can be settled once and for all.
tell that to me in a REAL measurement system. not one that has developed out of someone's stinking appendages.

just have a look.

Its all ok while cia does it and shits around then ....
instead lets allow bigots to teach our kids that they have been created overnight from clay somewhere in middle east.
can someone explain
quite an apt comment.
its a good way to lose business. google should congratulate the morons running these policies. they killed google+ before it started for me.
and on another note, this situation basically drew my attention to the fact that relying on google is not a good thing.
this thing should actually be named the same in ALL kinds of oses. and it shouldnt change from os to os, leave aside linux distro to linux distro.

yes, it is about nato. u.n. is a democratic organization.
that is a very very keen and apt question. while our political life is democratized, economic life is still totally feudal.
there are still actual judges on this planet after all .....
Some info on the most undemocratic organization, supposedly participated in by democratic governments.
one would think that sony would be the last company to talk about 'game quality' after screwing up star wars galaxies.

It's just hundreds or even dozens of "pimpled kids" who've got nothing better to do. And now they are a dozen less and yes, lot of them are scared.
