    Yeah.. And Russians wear winter hats all the summer :)).. And Americans also invented first light bulb, life on the earth, first man in space was American and North America has only two countries...

  2. Re:Maybe we shouldn't teach evolution in school... on Evolution is a Myth in Kansas · · Score: 1

    This may be true for American high-school system but this is definitely not true for Russian HS system - evolution isn't an advanced subject compared to some areas of physics and mathematics taught in last grades of school (btw.. we graduate at age of 16 or 17).
    Oh.. and to all the people that say 'you can't prove evolution' - prove the existence of God!.

    Try:

    According to HTTP/1.1 standard you MUST include Host header in the request.

    >Win 3.11 : Broke Win32 compatibility in OS/2
    ???. Win 3.11 is Win16 operating system, not Win32 operating system!.

    >Win32 API : Incompatabilities used to drive >competing office software market share down
    What major incompatibilities?. Can you provide real proof instead of 'everything M$ does is bad..' etc.
    >Win98 : When IE5 was removed reports of >increased Netscape stability
    So what?. Btw, Win98 is bundled with IE4 (at least it was when I bought my notebook) not IE5.
    And I think IE5 is much much better than Netscape 4.x and Mozilla (I tested M8).

  12. Re:Non-U.S. ID? on US Congress Debates National ID Card · · Score: 1

    In Russia, we have passports as primary form of identification. Newer passports contain little personal information but have the number - passport number but you need it not very frequently - mostly you can just show your passsport and that's also rarely needed.
    I don't understand why US can't have normal identification card (ID card) - why license for driving should be used as ID card?

  13. Re:Validity? on PHP4.0 beta released · · Score: 1

    5000 milliseconds?. What they were doing in ASP?. My ASP apps would take so long only under a load of maybe 30-40 simultaneous requests!. And I'm talking about 3-4 database connections per page!.

  14. Re:Validity? on PHP4.0 beta released · · Score: 1

    Use Response.Flush() in ASP to send buffered output to browser as often as you want. You can output some static HTML and then do Response.Flush().
    But anyway, using Quicksort and empty loops for measuring performance is meaningless. I think more valid benchmark would be like outputting data from same databases to HTML - using best methods available in both platforms.
    And you should know that ASP is NOT a language like PHP/Zend - it's scripting host that can accept multiple languages - mixed in one file. You can use VBScript, JScript, PerlScript and any scripting engine you want easily.

  18. Re:PHP seems broken by design. on PHP4.0 beta released · · Score: 1

    This all depends on who writes the code. The best approach (and this applies also to ASP, which I think is superior despite non-real-world PHP vs ASP benchmarks) is to use an include files (like header and footer) which contain common HTML code.. sort of template and then write all the code inside one large ASP/PHP block and using Response.Write/php equivalent to write all HTML like (header.asp also includes lib.asp with all the functions):
    <%@ Language = JScript %>
    <!--#include file="header.asp"-->
    <%
    var conn = openConn()
    var rs = conn.Execute("select * from authors")
    while (!rs.EOF)
    {
    Response.Write(rs("FirstName") + " " + rs("LastName") + "<br>")
    }
    rs.Close()
    delete rs
    releaseConn(conn)
    %>
    <!--#include file="footer.asp"-->
    This means all outer HTML (e.g. headers, footers, menus, navigation etc.) is separate from inner code. HTH
