Sorry, but Florian is known M$ apologists and anti-open source. He is not welcome here!

You don't need webserver or MySQL for PHP. You can make standalone command line programs with it too. Hell, you can even make Windows programs!

How is that related to PHP in any way?

Hey apk.. I mean, mr. anonymous guy who isn't apk. Do you even know how to code with PHP?

It's funny you still do this "others are commenting here too" shit apk, it's the same thing every time. You're not fooling anyone apk.

So you're still a virgin?

Guess my last comment did its job as now you talk like a normal person again :-D

And how is your marriage now? Or are you a hippy single guy with lots of girlfriends and you all just have casual sex with no commitments?

And where did you get your magical computer skills, oh my apk? What school you went to? What you did when you were a teen?

Where is your league, in diapers?

I can't show my projects to you because they are classified information. Unlike your little freeware programs.

And yet you're just a noob free/shareware author. Best of all, you've only done your little freeware programs back TWO DECADES AGO and yet still, in 2011, you look back at that time and think how such a great person you have been. Hilarious. Would you let your teen age little freeware crap programs die already and move to adult age here in the 2010's?

I am a professional software author. I would say too, but you're not. I work for a very successful company along with other highly skilled persons. Do you know why you don't? Because you're a noob who developed some freeware crap back in the 90's and nothing anymore. I have developed software for machines that have been used to battle, defeat and destroy hundreds of thousands enemy combatants and terrorists. My software has changed a lot of things in this world. All you have developed is some little crappy programs and go on and on about hosts file like it's some new miracle. You know what, HOSTS FILE SUCKS.

Yes, because turning off your local DNS cache in favor hosts file REALLY SPEEDS THINGS UP. Look noob, why don't you put slashdot.org to your hosts file as 127.0.0.1 AND GO TALK ABOUT HOSTS FILE THERE ALONE.

And yet in your stupid hosts file stuff you use 127.0.0.1 and flood your local HTTP daemon and other ports with useless requests that need to time out EVERY FUCKING TIME, SLOWING DOWN BROWSER AND WHOLE SYSTEM as more threads need do be created and applications need to wait for the time out.

Maybe you're too stupid to see why this i a problem, but that wouldn't surprise me BECAUSE YOU'RE A NOOB AND JUST GOT SERVED!

So you haven't actually done anything in 10 years and know nothing about modern operating systems? How nice of you. The only programs you have for show are some little freeware utilities that do exactly one thing. Writing such programs isn't especially hard or time-taking. I bet I did more complicated projects when I was 10 years old.
