  1. Re:About time on IIS 7.0 Learns a Few Tricks from Apache · · Score: 2, Informative

    IIS Free ? Last time I looked you have to pay big money if you want to have more than 50 (IIRC) simultaneous concurrent user-connections from your .asp(x) app to a MSSQL server.

    Since you are so smart, maybe you can also explain why we have to reboot our servers at work running w2k3 almost every single day and our Linux servers maybe once every year.

  3. AJAX is nothing new, on The Current State of Ajax · · Score: 1

    I am using this 'hidden frame technique' with javascript calls already for quite a while now and 'invented' this when a client needed a way to save data generated with a handheld PDA with barcode-scanner to order new stock.

    Since there were no programmers to be found who could manage to write a 'real world application' (.exe) in a limited time, I built the whole thing as a mini-site using javascript to query the numbers in a database via a hidden frame, inputted by the PDA-thingie. It saves the stock ordered to a specially formatted file.
    All is running on a local Apache server using PHP for processing data and reading a .dbx file with inventory data.

    And for another client I wrote a site-searchengine, which displays results without refreshing the page...

    IMHO this AJAX stuff is nice, but very bloated, I'd rather write custom Javascript myself.
