More like

Windows is windows

Linux is Apache,Node,Light Speed etc

It would be interesting to see a survey that only includes servers that are around for more than 12 months or clumlative hours, something tells me that a lot of these windows distros may only be short term usage

WibbleMe

Re: about 12 per cent of servers run non-Windows OSs!?

Perhaps for security reasons people hide the server type tag on a Linux distro as part of PCI compliance so you have no idea what server a website is running on.

Did anyone bother to count the Linux Kernal in Android phones? Something like 432 million smartphones in 2016

HMRC: We've got £1.3bn for digital tax schemes. Tell us how to spend it

WibbleMe

API synchronising with software like Quickbooks and Sage so that everything is done automatically, benefits for HMRC is they they can get a live readout of profit loss and how much tax to expect.

The benefit for the consumer is that tax VAT return can be automated like ,Fuel VAT back or Advertising expenses.

Anti-TV Licensing petition gets May date for Parliament debate

WibbleMe

The BBC have basically shot them selves,

1) It supposed to be impartial... is it? Or does it support the Left?

Where in the world is Fast.co.uk web hosting?

The fact that you can now start your own cheapo hosting company for Resellers with a WHM/Cpanel license and a small instance on AWS means that competition is rather ferocious

Google, what the hell? Search giant wrongly said shop closed down, refused to list the truth

WibbleMe

Re: If Google lists Google as closed...

I dont think Google knows what closed is, asked my phone search what supermarkets are open on Sunday" and it returned 5 results cards with closed supermarkets being 19:00 on Sunday.

WibbleMe

I guess that this was added to Google Maps / Google Business automatically had the owner registered with Google Business to claim their business this could have been resolved. Unfornituntly changes even once registered take a while to update.

My suspicions are that someone, I'm not saying a competitor but... saw this as an opportunity to send this store fewer customers.

I know exactly how they feel, I had a customer that moved two miles down the road and delivery drivers keep using the wrong location data to turn up, being a narrow one-way road system around the village of Wem in Shropshire turning was not an option.

How exactly is MongoDB crap if the developer failed to secure it? The fact that you get warning messages in the MongoDB log file about it not being secured should be a giveaway.

HSBC Business internet banking goes TITSUP*

WibbleMe

Im a webdev I have 800 small business sites spread across several servers, there has been no down time for over two years and even then it was just 5 mins, how can it be with so many engineers and budgets can something go horribly wrong so often?

But even some of the sites that work ok like nationwide still have issues if you look at the browser consol window, fonts blocked by cross-origin script and marketing blurb blocked because http is used rather than https, so no sites perfect but at least I can login.
