This isn't highly dynamic data and for the most part, it isn't racing (the number of times played count inside the slimserver database is *somewhat* dynamic, but even that's pretty slow by computer standards). So data races would seem to be a red herring, unless I missed your point.
In fact, it does solve the most common source of failures - Honey, I moved the data. Adding another layer is not a bad thing - in fact in many places in computer architecture it's an excellent thing. -- Michaelwagner ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michaelwagner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24093 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
