Keep-Alive is an enemy of efficient wireless protocols

A thought in continuation of the theme on communication of wireless client with a server. Keep-Alive connection setting forces the server to buffer all of the response before sending it to client, since it has to determine the Content-Length. It is still possible to override Keep-Alive setting requested by the client (or, similarly, lack of "Connection: close" for HTTP 1.1 clients). Tried that with Weblogic 5.1, after all headers/cookies are set, obtain a stream from the request and do a flush. Client receives a burst of data instantaneously (checked that in BREW emulator)...

Bush is not a religious fanatic

Would a religious fanatic assign Chertoff, a man whose last name stands, if translated from Russian, for "Devil's" ("Devil-son", "McDevil"), or whatever, to be the head of Homeland Security... So, no, George "Doo-da-dutey" Bush is not as committed to christian values.
