"FETCH, SPOT!"

Good boy.

Communism is hilarious. What better way to kill 65 million people...

Do you freak out when you're channel surfing and run across Hogan's Heroes by accident? Cuz Nazism is no joke, no sir...

Tell me of a good alternative to outlook......I use it for lots of stuff.

He said MS web server, which is of course *IIS* You took that to mean Operating system which nobody who works with web servers would do. If I said Sun's web server nobody would think Solaris (well nobody with a clue to spare), they would think SunOne.. If he said MS browser would he still be talking about windows? does MS database refer to windows? does MS office suite refer to windows?

Why bother arguing? Obviously these are the same geniuses that call up PC tech support and complain "Hey, my Microsoft ain't workin', FIX IT!!!"

No he didn't, he threw out a graph of Apache which can run on Microsoft servers and said that proved they were declining. It doesn't add up, he didn't properly explain himself or use correct terminology, but of course nothing you two ever come up with ever does.

It's all about smoke and mirrors and bending the truth, that exact Apache chart has been thrown out countless times by you guys even saying it represents Linux servers, ShadowAce did it again just the other day. Give it up, it's an old argument that's been shot down countless times, and was again here.

Bottom line, as my link above shows (and there's plenty more out there) Windows is shipping on 70% of all new servers these days, and that Apache link in no way tells you how many are what. It could be as many as half are Microsoft servers and you have no way of proving otherwise.

No I like watching your blood pressure rise because of a software license that you have every choice of not using..

[Golden Eagle]

Why are you still posting? You still haven't told us how many nuts are down at Mozilla putting those propaganda posters together.

No he didn't, he threw out a graph of Apache which can run on Microsoft servers and said that proved they were declining.

with the text What's significant in this graph is that MS has stopped growing in its web server market share.

His post had nothing to do with Operating systems, it was about web servers, if you're too thick to see the difference you have to be a phb at best, and a teenage kid at worst..

What is Microsoft's webserver

a) Windows
b) IIS
c) Linus Thorvald's father was a communist

Actually, I have unusually low blood pressure, and can't stop laughing at the idiocy displayed on here by those who try to deny the obvious. Most typically results in bolded fonts, name calling, personal insults and generally ridiculous excuses. Funniest of all is you think it means you're winning the argument, without ever a single link or corroborative piece of evidence of your own. All emotion, no logic or fact. No wonder you love this stuff the DNC is into so much.

At the scene of the shooting, police also cordoned off much of the store's parking lot, telling anyone whose car was within a perimeter that they would have to leave their vehicles there.

Eudora for email, Agendus for scheduling - I sync the latter with a PDA version of Agendus as well.

[Golden Eagle]

Any idiot can tell you, Windows with Apache is a "web server". And that graph is probably full of them, since Windows is shipping on 70% of ALL servers.

[Hank Rearden]

IE still doesn't load.

That sure sounds to me like a feature, not a bug. Or a system upgrade.

[thecabal]

Why are you still posting?

Because I will not allow you to silence me because you don't agree with me.

You still haven't told us how many nuts are down at Mozilla putting those propaganda posters together.

Now I think you are just pulling my chain. However, let me try to be a little more succinct.

Or are you denying those are their ads? Wouldn't surprise me, of course.

I deny that this image

is an ad from Mozilla.org. How much more obvious can it be. The image clearly states where it comes from.

I do not dispute that the three banners you posted are from Mozilla.org. I do, however, think that you are as paranoid as Gen. Ripper if you think they indicate that Mozilla==communism.

[Golden Eagle]

Deny it all you want. It exists, and communists created it.

So MS office on a mac is not Microsoft's office suite? after all its running on a mac and probably should not be counted towards their market share. That seems to be where you're going with this. Apache is a web server, Windows is an operating system..

What is Microsoft's web server called? This is from Microsoft's IIS page

"Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 is a powerful Web server"

"IIS helps organizations increase Web site and application availability while lowering system administration costs."

[N3WBI3]

"The Web sites of Senator John Kerry and the Democratic National Committee run mainly on the technology of the computing counterculture: open-source software that is distributed free, and improved and debugged by far-flung networks of programmers.

In the other corner, the Web sites of President Bush and the Republican National Committee run on software supplied by the corporate embodiment of big business - Microsoft."

Ok so Bush was running IIS and KErry was on a Linux/Apache server... whats communism.org run on?

It runs on whatever their service provider is using, but it's not clear since some of the Netcraft info is "unknown" which is unusual. We do know that within the content of that website, they refer to Linux as a perfect example of communism.

[Golden Eagle]

I already pointed out he never said IIS, and was attempting to smear "Microsoft" web servers which could easliy include servers running Apache. This particular graph is often used to try to smear Microsoft, when in fact half of those systems could actually be Microsoft systems, and there's no way you can prove that they aren't. It's indiscriminate data, and you can't twist it no matter how desperately you want to, and often attempt to try.

[N3WBI3]

Ok So bush running IIS, important. Kerry running Linux, important. Communism running IIS, nothing to see here... I guess you'll give commies a pass for that..

BTW how do you know bush and Kerry were not having someone else host their site like communism.org does?
