Short answer: you can't.

Long answer: browsers do whatever they want and can't be forced to 
not check cached resource.  Most of the checks may be avoided with 
"expires max;" directive, but not all.

Igor never suggested to remove Last-Modified header, he just 
answered how to do it.  It's thread starter who thinks this will 
help.
