[DUG] Reference counting

[Leigh Wanstead]

Frankly speaking, I like TCP so much that I once study TCP protocol in Linux
source code.

I doubt ;) Its too slow and inefficient. The fact that its generic might
be an advantage in some ways,
but the fact that the more generic you get (which is like getting more
microsoft) the easier it is
to hack your system still turns a lot of companies off. There isn't
anything particularly wrong with the
concept, but the implementation is lame.

Also, Its slower than a snail last time I tried. Which is probably why so
many are going back to
Terminal Clients, rather than rich thin clients. They have been let down
by the absurb network traffic speeds
of soap servers and other generics. If people of the modern era still
focused on speed AND quality, like many of
you must remember from the good old 386 days, then we'd all be pumping out
high power thin/rich clients.

There will never be a win to that discussion though, because everyone has
preference.
