Why not refactor and remove duplication... It works wonders for any code... -- thx atul

No it is the same term ;-) ... Same computer science texts are taught here(ORA, AWL, Prentice Hall etc). When I get interviewed, sometimes I mention "Active Objects" and very few people seem to know... Almost everyone seems to know "Producer/Consumer". But again if I give the unix pipeline as a producer/consumer they don't seem to like it ;-) Sometimes I am asked about Regular Expressions... Then if I mention globbing again you get a kind of vacant stare. Every interviewer I met, know atomicity - and what a mutex is. But going a step further and telling them about CORRECT MEMORY VISIBILITY ( and Double Checked Locking Pattern ), it is news to them... --- atul
