re: I live in...

I voted for "Galaxy Far Far Away" since I've lived in Germany, Japan and the US, plus I didn't want ATANG1 to be left alone in this category!

I live near International data group ?

Where all the computer data is published in their many magazines. Any other library is not enough to fend off street smart kids.

But their CIO magazine help me bring enterprise world of computer terminology to Tuxmachines.org. These enterprise people talk funny too.

re: I live near International data group

He was just kiddin around with ya.

Why we talk funny in Linux world ?

Too much street smart emotions make Linux people funny. Not enough knowledge about Linux commands which are being replaced by scripts and GUI panels to make Linux things easy to learn, is not funny.

To bridge between the real world of enterprise compatibility, We have to talk funny too. At least Novell salesman can get some orders. Enterprise people do not talk virtualization. They say we want SOA. The buzz is SOA, but SOA is merely packet conversion to command all operating system, be it UNIX, Linux or XP with their distinct application programs.

Its hard if you started street smart(reading forums) but your vocabulary is limited. Learn to talk funny.

Footnote:
Novell's advertizing page in CIO magazine is wasted not doing what enterprise customers want. Linux requires too much drams(512 vs. XP 128 mb), Netware is not dram hog in IT departments? Netware is easier to sell?

Talk funny ? Its all on the money ?

Talk funny in computer world is SOA and BPM.

The stuff that sells in big money, consolidating Unix, Linux and Windows into the same desktop by packet conversion.

Interesting demographics

I found it very interesting that most of my visitors hail from Europe as opposed to the US. I really expected to see the other way around, but I guess lumping all of Europe into one category helped. Europe is a big ole place. Laughing out loud

I also found it extremely interesting that there were 4 visitors from Antartica. I was fairly sure Antartica was unsettled except by a few scientists and various other kinds of workers part of the year. If my concept of Antartica is correct - isn't that wonderful? I'd love to hear more of the population in that area - how many, how long, etc. Or maybe it was penguins. Laughing out loud

I'm glad Africa, India, and Asia had some representation as well. Isn't the internet a wonderful thing?

I guess the most surprising was all the extraterrestrial visitors I have. This might explain all those lapses in time I keep having. Laughing out loud

Thanks to all who participated in this poll.

Re: Interesting demographics

Almost 500 million people live in Europe vs 300 million in the US. So it isn't such a surprise half of the voters are European. Some countries are pretty Linux minded, e.g. Germany (home of SuSE) and France (Mandrake). And Finland of course Smiling Unlike the Netherlands (where I live), people over here are much more Windows oriented (and Microsoft in general). Nowhere MSN has a larger market share and Firefox has a smaller one. What a shame.

Maybe you should plot some graphs from your webserver statistics? Per country I mean. That should be interesting!
