Types of websites

There are many varieties of Web sites, each specializing in a
particular type of content or use, and they may be arbitrarily classified in any number of ways. A few such classifications might
include:

• Affiliate: enabled portal that renders not only its custom CMS but also syndicated content from other content providers for an agreed fee. There are usually three relationship tiers. Affiliate Agencies (e.g., Commission Junction), Advertisers (e.g., Ebay) and consumer (e.g., Yahoo).
• Archive site: used to preserve valuable electronic content threatened with extinction. Two examples are: Internet Archive, which since 1996 has preserved billions of old (and new) Web pages; and Google Groups, which in early 2005 was archiving over 845,000,000 messages posted to Usenet news/discussion groups.
• Blog (or web log) site: sites generally used to post online diaries which may include discussion forums (e.g., blogger, Xanga).
• Content site: sites whose business is the creation and distribution of original content (e.g., Slate, About.com).
• Corporate website: used to provide background information about a business, organization, or service.
• Commerce site (or eCommerce site): for purchasing goods, such as Amazon.com.
• Community site: a site where persons with similar interests communicate with each other, usually by chat or message boards, such as MySpace.
• Database site: a site whose main use is the search and display of a specific database's content such as the Internet Movie Database or the Political Graveyard.
• Development site: a site whose purpose is to provide information and resources related to software development, Web design and the like.
• Directory site: a site that contains varied contents which are divided into categories and subcategories, such as Yahoo! directory, Google directory and Open Directory Project.
• Download site: strictly used for downloading electronic content, such as software, game demos or computer wallpaper.
• Employment site: allows employers to post job requirements for a position or positions and prospective employees to fill an application.
• Fan site:
  A web site created and maintained by fans of and for a particular
  celebrity, as opposed to a web site created, maintained, and controlled
  by a celebrity through their own paid webmaster.May also be known as a Shrine in the case of certain subjects, such as anime, and manga characters.
• Game site: a site that is itself a game or "playground" where many people come to play (e.g. MSN Games and Pogo.com).
• Geodomain refers to domain names
  that are the same as those of geographic entities, such as cities and
  countries. For example, Richmond.com is the geodomain for Richmond, Virginia.
• Gripe site: a site devoted to the critique of a person, place, corporation, government, or institution.
• Humor site: satirizes, parodies or otherwise exists solely to amuse.
• Information site: contains content that is intended to inform visitors, but not necessarily for commercial purposes, such as: RateMyProfessors.com, Free Internet Lexicon and Encyclopedia. Most government, educational and non-profit institutions have an informational site.
• Java applet site: contains software to run over the Web as a Web application.
• Mirror (computing) site: A complete reproduction of a website.
• News site: similar to an information site, but dedicated to dispensing news and commentary.
• Personal homepage: run by an individual or a small group (such as a family) that contains information or any content that the individual wishes to include.
• Phish site: a website created to fraudulently acquire sensitive information, such as passwords and credit card details, by masquerading as a trustworthy person or business (such as Social Security Administration, PayPal) in an electronic communication (see Phishing).
• Political site: A site on which people may voice political views.
• Pornography (porn) site: a site that shows pornographic images and videos.
• Rating site: A site on which people can praise or disparage what is featured.
• Review site: A site on which people can post reviews for products or services.
• School site: a site on which teachers or administrators can post information about current events at or involving their school.
• Search engine site: a site that provides general information and is intended as a gateway or lookup for other sites. A pure example is Google, and the most widely known extended type is Yahoo!.
• Shock site: includes images or other material that is intended to be offensive to most viewers (e.g. rotten.com).
• Warez: a site designed to host and let users download copyrighted materials illegally.
• Web portal: a site that provides a starting point or a gateway to other resources on the Internet or an intranet.
• Wiki site: a site which users collaboratively edit (such as Wikipedia).

Some websites may be included in one or more of these categories.
For example, a business website may promote the business's products,
but may also host informative documents, such as white papers. There are also numerous sub-categories to the ones listed above. For example, a porn
site is a specific type of eCommerce site or business site (that is, it
is trying to sell memberships for access to its site). A fan site may be a dedication from the owner to a particular celebrity.

La navaja para estúpidos maliciosos

Hanlon's razor [La navaja de Hanlon]

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Also worded as:

Never assume malice when stupidity will suffice.

Nota bene:

A similar quotation appears in Robert A. Heinlein's 1941 short story Logic of Empire
("You have attributed conditions to villainy that simply result from stupidity"); this was noticed in 1996 (five years before Bigler identified the Robert J. Hanlon citation) and first referenced in version 4.0.0 of the Jargon File ^[4], with speculation that Hanlon's Razor might be a corruption of "Heinlein's Razor." "Heinlein's Razor" has since been defined as variations on Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity, but don't rule out malice. or ... but keep your eyes open.
A variant, Grey's Law (influenced, no doubt, by Clarke's third law), posits "Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice."

["Cualquier suficientemente avanzada incompetencia es indistinguible de malicia"]

La navaja para estúpidos maliciosos:

Nunca atribuyas a la malicia lo que pueda ser adecuadamente explicado con la estupidez

Lo que puede leerse:

Nunca asumas malicia cuando baste la estupidez

Clarke's three laws

Clarke's three laws

1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is
   possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something
   is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
3. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
4. For every expert there is an equal and opposite expert.[1999]

Dominios en Internet

Mapping the Internet: Domains Names & Nameservers
Ogle Earth

Country Codes of the World maps 245 top-level domain country codes encompassing all United Nations countries as well as numerous islands and territories. (At the end of every URL and email address is a top-level domain. Although .com is the world’s most popular top-level domain, it is far from alone. There are more than 260 top-level domains in use around the world, most of which are country code top-level domains.)

Each two-digit code is aligned over the country it represents and is color coded with the legend below for quick and easy reference.

Each two-digit code is sized relative to the population of the country or territory, with the exception of China and India, which were restrained by 30% to fit the layout. At the other end of the spectrum, the smallest type size used reflects those countries with fewer than 10 million residents.

the DOS path character "\"

...
Many of the DOS utilities (except for command.com) were written by IBM, and they used the "/" character as the "switch" character for their utilities (the "switch" character is the character that's used to distinguish command line switches - on *nix, it's the "-" character, on most DEC operating systems (including VMS, the DECSystem-20 and DECSystem-10), it's the "/" character" (note: I'm grey on whether the "/" character came from IBM or from Microsoft - several of the original MS-DOS developers were old-hand DEC-20 developers, so it's possible that they carried it forward from their DEC background)
...
Here's a little known secret about MS-DOS. The DOS developers weren't particularly happy about this state of affairs - heck, they all used Xenix machines for email and stuff, so they were familiar with the *nix command semantics. So they coded the OS to accept either "/" or "\" character as the path character (this continues today, btw - try typing "notepad c:/boot.ini" on an XP machine (if you're an admin)). And they went one step further. They added an undocumented system call to change the switch character. And updated the utilities to respect this flag.
