Open Source Owns the Web (Infographic) - 0 views

  •  
    "We will begin from the first layer of the web infrastructure: the Operating System, with around 60% of the web servers running Linux (without counting other open source derivatives like BSDs and Open Solaris) against 27% of Windows Servers. Moving one step up to the second layer: the web servers, considered to be the key element of the Internet infrastructure, we can notice a 60% market share for the open source Apache web server in 2011, leaving only 20% for Microsoft IIS. If we count up other open source servers, namely nginx and lighttpd, we will see that open source dominate more than 68.3% of all web servers. The last piece of the web infrastructure is the server-side programing language with a stoning 75% market share for PHP, on the other hand, Microsoft ASP.Net is facing a decaying 23.1% share."

"We believe that applying the open source philosophy to our patents will strengthen rather than diminish Tesla's position in this regard."

In This Zelda-Style Game, You Hack the Source Code With Your Sword - 1 views

  •  
    "'m not a hacker. I don't know how to code. A programmer friend recently joked that I "couldn't tell Boolean from bit shifting" and I don't know what that means. So I was just a little bit intimidated when I sat down to play Hack 'n' Slash, a Legend of Zelda-style adventure that challenges you to solve puzzles by reprogramming the source code of the game itself."
