yep.. vote Gore.. and have at least another four years of a maternalistic welfare state. (don't forget who started all of the changes to get the economy where it is today.. yes, it was Reagan and Bush). Clinton and Gore didn't do a damn thing but ride some coattails. (and yeah.. Greenspan was put into office before Clinton).
I wouldn not necessarily critcize Microsoft's web app model. I would critcize the development team with being stupid enough to put db connection strings and passwords in the global.asa. Use a COM object for pete's sake!!!
Additionally, Microsoft gets more crap from the/. crowd when things go wrong than [I think] they should. People here need to realize that MS software is not necessarily flawed [yes, it might be]. The big key here is how it is implemented. People do stupid things. Apparantly, people do more stupid things with MS software than with non-MS software. These people need to shoulder the the responsibility for implementation. I really don't see a whole lot of flames here for a 'stupid developer' or a 'stupid admin', but the software publisher gets trashed at the drop of a hat. As a developer working with MS technologies, I put up with a good share of their quirks, foibles, and bugs; nonetheless, I need to be held responsible if I implement something stupid.
Yes, SQL Server 6.x was born from the Sybase code they purchaed. However, SQL Server 7.0 is a *re-write* of the DB. The Sybase code is gone (it sucked anyways). SQL 7.0 is a great relational database product, and its cost is quite nice too (in comparison to others). Additionally, you *cannot* compare SQL Server 7.0 to mySQL, let alone call mySQL relational.
