What OS does your president run?

Breakdown of OS, webserver and uptime for presidential candidates

I'm not sure which is funnier, the fact that someone did this or the fact that Al Sharpton is running Solaris 8.

I put this in P&C because I didn't figure the rest of the forums would really care. Also counting down the seconds until someone turns this into a Democrat vs. Republican flamewar.

I say we openly and relentlessly ridicule the person who does.

Democrats are stupid.

Someone''s jealous of thier uptime.

Well, Bill Clinton certainly had no shortage of ""uptime""

The link isn''t working.

I''d like to know what OS Al Gore is using. Or maybe he just invented his own.

Few Clinton jokes actually make me laugh. Point hubbinsd!

I actually love and miss Clinton. I would much rather have a horny genius in office than a dimwitted faux-cowboy.

How is Bush dimwitted?

Only a democrat would use the word ""faux"".

EDIT: Melnok, have you seen Bush ever speak without pre-written text?

Yes. He does a better job.

Remember the good old days back at the beginning of the thread when we weren''t going to turn this into a Dem vs. Rep (Clinton vs. Bush) thing.

I mean, shouldn''t we join together and relentlessly mock Ralcydan. That was the agreement!

Now come on, you guys said you were only going to do that if this thread turned into a partisan flamewar. Oh, never mind.

Site''s still working for me so I''ll quote it for you

As we swing into the thick of the 2004 electoral playoffs, it''s interesting to see what kinds of platforms are running under the candidates'' official campaign Web sites. Netcraft has a handy feature called ""What''s that site running?"" that lets us see combinations of Web servers and OS platforms. So here''s a quick rundown, in alphabetical order:

* George W. Bush: Microsoft IIS on Windows 2000

* Wesley Clark: Apache on Linux

* Howard Dean: Apache on FreeBSD

* John Edwards: Microsoft IIS ""behind a computer running NetWare""

* Richard Gephardt: Microsoft IIS on Windows 2000

* John Kerry: Apache on Linux

* Dennis Kucinich Apache on Linux

* Carol Mosely-Braun: Apache on FreeBSD

* Al Sharpton: Apache on Solaris 8

* Joe Lieberman: Apache on FreeBSD

For what it''s worth, the Republican National Committee is running Microsoft IIS on Windows 2000, while the Democratic National Committee is running Apache on Linux.

As of this writing, November 5, 2003, the RNC has an uptime of 4.26 days (maximum of 39.04) and a 90-day moving average of 16.91. The DNC has an uptime of 445.02 days (also the maximum) and a 90-day moving average of 395.38 days.

Draw your own conclusions.

Some of the democrats are hippies.

In (somewhat) related news...

CNN planted a question about computer preferences at last week''s debate of the Democratic presidential candidates at Faneuil Hall in Boston, according to the student who posed the query and wrote about it yesterday in an online forum of the Brown (University) Daily Herald. During the debate, cosponsored by the nonprofit Rock the Vote organization, Alexandra Trustman asked the candidates whether they preferred the PC or Mac format for their computers.

Trustman wrote yesterday that she was called the morning of the debate and given the topic of the question the CNN producers wanted her to ask. She wrote that she was ""confused by the question''s relevance"" and constructed what she thought was a ""much more relevant"" question.

But when she arrived in Boston for the debate, she wrote, she was ""handed a note card"" with the question and told she couldn''t ask her alternative ""because it wasn''t lighthearted enough and they wanted to modulate the event with various types of questions.""

I hear Sharpton is the only confirmed Mac user

Oh, the shame!

<--- Still loves his iBook

You guys might find these articles interesting. It''s how CNN planted a question about Mac or PC during the debate.

I have to say, Clin-ton... (you have to say it in Kang''s voice after the halloween episode)... was one of my favorite presidents of all time ^.^

I agree, Clinton was great.

Is there a term that''s like sarcasm, but ten levels of intensity above sarcasm? I think Lawyeron''s tag should be changed to ""[That Word] Boy.""

I think my brain is broken. In my effort to mock liberals, I believe I have become one.

Oh sour sting of irony, how could fate be so cruel!!

Yeah I think once you hit so much sarcasm you just wrap around. Lawyeron''s going to show up for election day and when he leaves the booth he''ll be like ""Wait, what switch did I pull again? Dean? Nooooooooo!""

At least I didn''t get stuck on Al Sharpton or Ralph Nader. Try to make lemonade out of lemons Momma used to say.

I would be surprised if many of the candidates even know what a web server is. That''s what they pay other, lesser people for. That way they can bend their towering intellect toward which corporate master to please next.
