Wrong again. What he was actually trying to do was show how stupid your own arguments are for equating political parties with operating systems. In doing so, he brought up a well-known liberal organization, PP, and showed what they're running.
I don't really see the relevance
Now, that's funny, since you are the one who started equating political viewpoints with use of operating systems.
Netcraft is usually right, but even they admit they can be fooled by firewalls, proxies, etc. In this case, I claimed PP was running Windows, you called me a liar, I proved they were running Windows.
Time to retract your accusation, unless of course you'd like to go into libel again.
LOL another lie. The only thing we know for sure, is the RNC runs Windows, and the DNC runs Linux. There are several articles out there to prove it too, since it actually matters, unlike your endless BS.
I'm only stating facts, you guys are the ones tripping all over yourselves trying to deny them.

Let's see, a direct query returns a Windows http header. Looking through the pages shows they use ASP pages. They also use the Red Dot content management system, which runs on -- you guessed it -- Windows.
Time for you to retract and apologize.

No, it doesn't. That's the whole point, just like Planned Parenthood running Windows doesn't matter.
They must have just switched then, unlike Howard Dean and the DNC who have been building their platform called "Open Source Politics" for a good while now. Ever heard of Joe Trippi? Former Linux exec that works for Dean and helped Dean coin the slogan. Check some of those links, open source is thriving in the DNC, and within Democratic/Socialist/Communist parties all over the world, they're even working to pass laws to require it. Leftist laws requiring open source, you probably even want them too.
Most likely Netcraft is hitting the Linux machines on the border. If you'll notice Netcraft had them running Windows earlier too.
Again, I was apparently not lying, contrary to your libelous assertion.
Leftist laws requiring open source, you probably even want them too.
I prefer any laws that will save my tax dollars. I know, you prefer to eliminate open source so we can subsidize the software industry with our tax dollars.
It's not a "subsidy" when the government buys something from industry. Yes we know like all liberals you'd prefer to fatten the government instead, and let them provide everything instead of industry, but at least get the terms right.
It is when the government had a cheaper -- or free -- alternative.
I see you still don't address the issue of your libel in calling me a liar.
"But I'd say Minix is the original x86 UNIX since it was actually written for the x86, not ported to it."
Good point--but then again I thought Minix didn't contain any original UNIX code despite being based on SysV.
AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!
The government subsidizes farmers by buying their products unnecessarily. Likewise, buying software from a vendor when a capable free alternative is available is also a subsidy. Like you said before, you would have preferred that NASA make a big contract with Cray to build a supercomputer rather than save our tax dollars by tying together computers they already had sitting around.
Planned Parenthood is shown as a Linux site, or one that is switching between
Get off it. I proved PP is a Windows site, and even Netcraft shows them running Windows earlier (likely before the hosting service changed their Linux proxies, which fool Netcraft). You falsely accused me of a lie, and you are incapable of being honest and apologizing.

Iggle, just stop already...
That means absolutely nothing--it's like me saying I want a dead fish for President...
He'd be better than you, I know that...
Good point--though just about anything would be better (even the dead fish)...8^)
