what's with the PHP hate?

Because if you build your startup's site using PHP, you'll never be able to scale like a Flickr, Digg, Wikipedia, or Facebook.

// Ahem.

Actually this is the only reason.

The only reason for me to use the DuckDuckGo is the privacy. I am a little fed up of feeding my search patterns to google. And until they will do the same thing, I will use them as 95% of the searches are ok even with Bing, who's behind them.

what is so cool about this?

As a user I already know my IP, my browser locale and probably I can be more accurate on my location. I know where I came from and what browser I am using on which OS.

As a site owner I already have this info from the http headers and implementing a reverse IP geo mapping is not a big issue.

So? where is the groundbreaking stuff? perhaps in the payment scheme ...
