 That, and not EVERY problem has alrady been implemented.

 Frankly, I don't think he's smart enough to be a troll. :)

 You can run ASP on IPlanet, you can run php on IIS.  He's definitely
 wrong on this one.

 Welllll.  The mySql support might be an exception.  As I recal ASP
 would use odbc rather than native calls.

 Yep.  Not to mention UNIX Ignorant.

 PHP is interpreted so i'd say this one's a tie.   All depends on how
 much hardware you have. :)

 Hey, he needed a number 8. :)

 It's clear that he hasn't used ASP.

 Because he uses pho? :)

 Gotta have a good tool, but it's not THAT hard.

 Depends on your development tool.

 Wouldn't really need to.  But since he's trying to debase ASP, your
 comment is quite valid.

 Yes.

 I believe you said it earlier.  The word "idiot" covers it.

 Again, he's not bright enough to be a troll.
