If someone stops the service, .Net remoting should not accept any new connections from the client AND wait for current connections to complete(saving to a database) and then stop the service How do I Stop .Net remoting service gracefully.

I've ported your implementation to ruby. If you're interested in a copy, email me and I'll send it to you.

Apparently (at least in 2.0) it's still buggy. You can send messages to a remote MSMQ, but not read from one. It's very disappointing. Thanks for the clarification.

I am sick of each party spending so much time on trying to find things to condemn the other. We need to find a way to put a stop to this. They are too preoccupied with looking for something scandalous on each other. So much wasted effort and time--which ends up costing us, the taxpayers. The other thing that needs to stop is the special interest nonsense that goes on in DC. They undermine any good that could be done. It should be illegal to add things to bills that have no relationship what so ever to the original bills.

Seems to me like we need to clean house of ALL the Senators and Reprsentatives. Why are they trying to give amnesty to the illegals (definition of illegals-those who have broken the law) who gave up any right to anything when they broke the law. It is scary to hear about revolution in our country and I pray it does not come to that because it will be a sad scenario for precious country. Right on!!!

It is the simplest evaluator I have ever seen and is made up of about 10 lines of very basic code. It takes 16 microseconds (not milliseconds) to score a 7 card hand. I have used it in my online Texas Hold'em probability calculator which can be seen at http://texas.holdem.poker.probability.cal.culator.org/ My guess is in C++ this evaluator would beat any other for speed, but I don't know C++. I'd love to get in touch with anyone interested in the code or interested in porting it to a CLI in C++. Anyone interested can email me at http://bokehman.com/email Hi all,
