Come on, there is only one Last Ninja!

Because:

• forms aren't that FUBAR'ed at reload
• statusbar-content isn't shared between tabs
• Doubleclick-marking of words doesn't mess up
• DHTML-animations are quick
• Soft hyphens don't result in weird marking of text
• gif animations doesn't suddently restart due to imagelib's single object-approach
• et cetera

I know that somebody will feel attacked and quickly riposte ("The statusbar-issue is only a problem, because Firefox has tabs, and IE doesn't even have tabs, besides *I* never visit sites using DHTML and silly animations, and I surf at textmode meaning that I never doubleclick, and animgifs are for lusers and who uses soft hyphens anyway"). If only people would put the same energy into bugfixing. I am encouraged to report bugs, yet I feel ridiculed when I post a bug report (e.g. #231123) with a simple test case and almost a year after it is still UNCONFIRMED.

I do have to admit that I feel further in the process than the times I have sent bugfixes to Microsoft regarding bugs in IE. But it's a pity if development of a browser is only good by comparing it to a poor browser.

I guess I'll stick with Firefox. At least 'till I get bored posting bug reports :) (though I must admit that Firefox emulates IE-bookmark-icon-randomness pretty well by dublicating icons at random - the issue was also present in Mozilla 1.7)

Please, please, please read the the code (or at least the announcement) before replying. You are totally off the mark here. In short: It's easy to create a webserver in PHP (everybody did it so I did too: http://ter.dk:4281/ ), but we are talking about a TCP/IP-stack as well.

And please, please, please don't mark any post "Informative", just because it is shorter than the original announcement.

In response to a lot of other bewildered posts:

• Yes, PHP is able to run standalone, and has "always" been so. Just compile the CGI executable. Furthermore, it is now split up in a CGI- and CLI-version. Hint: Using PHP from the command line
• Yes, PHP is able to create TCP-connections and UDP-"connections" (in reality meaning just sending a package and retrieve a possible answer), and has been so for a long time (it was present yet unstable in PHP/FI, but worked fine from PHP3 - UDP-support was added later on). Hint: fsockopen()
• Yes, PHP is able to listen to a port and has been so since PHP4.1.0. Hint: socket_create_listen()
• Yes, PHP with process control enabled is able to fork and spawn childs, also since PHP4.1.0. Hint: pcntl_fork()

Okay, get ready for the explanation of the announcement: PHP is just relying on the underneath TCP/IP-stack. Adams example includes the TCP/IP-stack itself (including ICMP). That's pretty neat.

Yes, please do that!
