Disagree completely with the previous two comments. I found it an energetic and informative discussion. If someone doesn't speak out then nothing changes.

Great, I'm glad you found it helpful. Now get some sleep :-)

Which particular part of the constitution protects your rights in this
way? The constitution grants vast powers to the centralized
government. If you read the Federalist papers this was quite
intentional. Enumerating specific rights that can't be rationalized
away is really the only solid guarantee you will ever have.

I think an order is the important thing and makes the code easier to
scan and understand. Which order doesn't matter unless you are trying to
define forwardly referenced classes. There usually develops a pattern.
System files exist in low layer encaps and higher level application code
includes those so system files shouldn't be all that common anyway.

I could but I would be lying. It's the nastiest of all things, a judgment call. Sure, if there were more than X then I might be concerned. X maybe 30 or pick some other number. What matters to me are does it meet design rules like high cohesion, loose coupling, single responsibility, unit tested, clear naming, well documented etc. If there are 20 convenience accessors I would worry about it. If there were 20 methods that look like they belong to another class than I would worry.

Hi Elana,

When I ported to Google App Engine I didn't update it for Jaiku because they weren't taking new users anymore and nobody seemed to mind. I'll take another look at it over the holidays and try to get it going again.

Is this really true though? Once you follow data from user space to user space the latencies are lot higher than the speed of light suggests. So, operating on local RAM is still a big win from a latency perspective. Operationally the network is the computer, but perhaps not computationally.

Does the BOR handle something like what Ning is doing: http://reasonablysmart.blog...

I wasn't sure reading through it. Protecting code could be important as well.
