Just go to http://www.iaf.org.il/ , click "View Source", and look
for "ConvertHTML".
Hey, before calling the newspapers and the police regarding to
"hackers", hear what I have to say for my deffense: That comment
is absolutely innocent, and legal.
Regarding to asking surveyed servers before checking them: Well,
three of the answers I wanted to say, were already said by others.
But let me add fourth answer: NetCraft does exactly the same
thing. And NetCraft was the main trigger which started the open-
source trend in all the media, months before Mozilla Open Source
(and one of the reasons which convinced Netscape to give away the
source code). All the research companies, ignored Apache in the
worst case, or just gave it funny numbers (8% according to Zona
Research). Only the cool surveys of NetCraft helped to proove that
the real population of Apache is higher than 50%. NetCraft and the
OS Counter are not "surveys", but the real numbers (as Mina Zemach
says: "Tozaot HaEmet").
We all know that the leading Internet server platform is Linux.
But managers and corporate MIS don't know it. They think that
Linux is a game of some teenagers and hackers. After seeing the
statistics of Hans, nobody will think about it as a game anymore.
