I understand that. I was gently hinting that the conf. presenter probably was using a (single) client given his audience. As an aside, from the end user's point of view (assuming the typical end user is a web 2.0 app), the throughput isn

You have my sincere sympathies (and I have no clue what I would have done in your shoes; its one of those moments where clarity arrives in hindsight and self-kicking ensues and we've all been there) but you entered the spider's web as soon

Petroleum backed currencies could be a viable alternative, but the countries best placed to float (npi) such a currency are mostly in the cross hairs of the global powers (precisely for that reason?).

I think filtering the candidates for a C++ position by their knowledge of non-mainstream languages would probably result in a much better candidates set. Also, its not clear that C++ is absolutely the wrong choice. You must also consider t

Theoretically , aspect orientation can even reach inside the code that is being modified: join points can include loops and branches, but aspectJ does not provide that functionality. Anyway, the point that I was making is that virtual m

I didn't realize you expected a tutorial in aspect orientation! The gist: byte codes are transformed ("weaved") on load. Its irrelevant whether you have the source or not. http://my.safaribooksonline.com/0596006543/aspectjckbk-CHP-1...
