Now unless you’re a major character in an Isaac Asimov novel, trying to accurately guess how large groups of people will behave is about as accurate as studying chicken entrials for the same purpose.
But when you have an imperial shitload of money like Microsoft, that’s not a problem - go ahead and do it anyway.
The results for my modest little site are interesting indeed.
It would appear that I only have a modest skew towards the gentlemen (64% male 36% female) which surprised me. Even more so was this:
A bias towards the under 18s? What. The. Fsck?! What are they here for?
The RPM packages? Nope, noone reads those (unless you speak binary)
The pic of Warney/Tara Reid? Oh, god I hope not.
The Cleveland Steamer double entendre on the same page? OH YOU SICK FSCKER!
Tina’s photos would account for the blokes (and the lesbians I guess…)
But the rest of it makes no sense to me, no sir.
Conclusion: Like the Vista ship date, MS BOB and NT security models, methinks that this was simply improvised by someone at MS, for reasons I cannot fathom. But on the other hand, it’s good for a chuckle.
