MDN – Glad to see you’re back online (missed my fix). Keep up the great work!
Peace.
I had to watch porn while you off-line. MDN is saves me from hell fire.
I was frightened and alone. Thank the well-thought-out and carefully planned heavens that MDN is back online.
Thank heavens that’s over!
I had really bad withdrawal symptoms.
time for a new server host??
Yeah, because any issue with a web site is always the problem of the web host and never any thing else…
I was starting to freak out, but then I remembered I had MacMAME so I filled the rest of my work day with a few levels of Pac-Man. I got to the second “key” level. My job is cool.
THATS WHAT YOU GET FOR RUNNING LINUX

Yea I know, you don’t own your own servers and you can’t find one that uses Mac OS X because it’s too slow to be used as server compared to the more tailored, customizable Linux.
But at least you could find one that runs BSD, they have uptimes measured in years!!!
Apache + BSD Unix type (FreeBSD, Mac OS X Darwin, BSD) = best uptimes in the world.

Make a choice, make a stand, beleive in what you say.
MDN Word: “Got” Like I got MDN.
MacDailyNews has run on Mac OS 9, Mac OS X, and FreeBSD in the past, as they’ve noted here: http://macdailynews.com/index.php/weblog/comments/7519/
FYI, currently:
MacCentral’s host runs Linux:
http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=maccentral.com
MacNN’s host runs FreeBSD:
http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=macnn.com
MacSurfer’s host runs FreeBSD:
http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=macsurfer.com
MacObserver’s host runs FreeBSD:
http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=macobserver.com
AppleInsider’s host runs FreeBSD:
http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=appleinsider.com
Apple runs Mac OS X:

The server OS is a function of the web host and the web sites’ budgets, service needs, etc. I used to run a small Mac site – much smaller than MDN/iPodDN. Sure we wanted to run on Mac OS X, but if your preferred host uses Linux or FreeBSD, that’s what you use. We wouldn’t choose a host that ran Windows servers. For many reasons, but mainly because we wanted the site to be online.
Ummm yeah, dude, any server that has an uptime of years without rebooting is just asking to be hacked, that means they likely have not updated the kernel in years as well…
ooohhh yeah, bring that on…
Of course being the server was responding with an offline message I would bet it was not server related… How would it be serving an offline message?
MW = “school”, like go back to school and learn abit about running servers…
Not sure how you think reporting on everyone elses news is your news, but ok. I mean, can we have one original news item from you this year? There are a few days left.
Welcome back MDN.
-b-,
You’re not serious are you?
Here’s one that’s barely a day old:
So, where are all the new TV shows on Apple’s iTunes Store?– Thursday, December 01, 2005 – 03:10 PM EST
Also, I consider the “MacDailyNews Takes” to be original and often valuable additions. Go to “contact” above and read the MDN mission statement. You obviously don’t “get” the purpose of this site.
I thought the world was coming to an end and sold my AAPL..
We took a revenue hit? Isnt it time you actually introduced yourselves to us MDN. We have no idea actually who runs this site…. Isnt that a bit weird?
Yeah, tell us how much you make and we can decide whether to click or not.
Oh boy…here we go
Bloody hell MDN, do’t do that to us again…gave me cold turkey for God’s sake!
Keep up the great work.
Or tell us whether you wear boxers or briefs and I can . . .
Nevermind.
Commando
^ That wasn’t me.
Yes it was.
Joe, give me a f-cking rest, already!

LOL. The first 18 in the list are BSD. Number 19 is Windows 2000. Hard to believe that if you only read this site…
