Glad you are amused. I am more shocked at the apparent lack of true understanding and experience from a few of those that claim to. My intention isn't to insult anyone, I just get really fed up with the Gaming community morons spreading crap about technologies they rarely use and never research, speaking from pedestals so high that they never hit the floor falling down. Meanwhile those of us that operate in the real world work our darndest to try and sift through upward of a million words a day of complete and utter crap. I sit and explain something simple not putting any claim to absolute performance on any product and someone still tries at my neck for putting one name before the other. Frankly, screw that. I have deployed BOTH (no names required this time) in very high volume and very low volume environments. One product has outperformed the other IN BOTH scenarios depending on the final layer of development that WE put on top. In the case of the original question many of the arguments which have been given are going to be massively outweighed by the choices of a) server expansion software b) a dsl line c) general internet exposure. There really is no need to be pedantic, he can use what he likes. TBH a lightweight static page server would be FAR MORE IDEAL than ANY of the competing servers, both in terms of stabilty and in terms of security; need I mention ease of use or anything else, or do you think that the community can do a little thinking on their own this time? As with the last e-mail on this subject, which was in response to a different comment, this is my end of discussion. > On 8/5/05, Clayton Macleod <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > yes, multi-million/multi-billion dollar companies are worried about > > paying for iis, you're right... > > > > On 8/4/05, James Tucker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > there is, apache is free. > > > > > > -- > > Clayton Macleod > > > > _______________________________________________ > > To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, > > please visit: > > http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds > > > -- > > _______________________________________________ > To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please > visit: > http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds > _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
