It was I who discussed the synchronization experiments that Eric (w/ MySQL) & I performed. It was not that the problem was inadequate timing granularity, but...

Sad but true. There has been the usual whining and flamefest on the Apple javadev list about this. There is some hope that once Tiger is actually out, the...
Hi Folks, Great discussion last night! I went and started pasting the code from Dougs copy of the code at: http://gee.cs.oswego.edu/dl/cpj/allcode.java and...

Jason brought up that he'd read some literature extolling the virtues of Message Passing over Shared State in concurrent designs. George went on to say that...
Related to this, there is a fantastic book by Gregor Hohpe and Bobby Woolf that discusses the benefits of asynchronous messaging systems and collects design...

Hi Paul, Well, at least you and I should car pool, since I live in Mt Baker as well .... If the weather and timing cooperate, I'm going to bike to the next...

I don't see any benefit of having a catch and just re-throwing exception either. The only explanation that I can think of is that example code is simplified...
I think the re-throws are used to ensure that the code in the finally block is executed before the exception is passed up the call stack. Without them, the...
... Hmmm, except this theory does not seem to match practice: public class ExceptionTest { public static void main( String[] ss ) { try { innerMethod(); }...
Thanks for volunteering, Piotr. Who else would like to take a shot at leadership? I haven't really thought much about where to do dinner next time. Tell me...
