I'm using a suite of WatiN tests driving IE to do some periodic sanity checking for the purposes of monitoring a site.

I have an app that needs to run on XP and Vista. That is it has to interface to the appropriate Task Scheduler (1.0 or 2.0). Because of this I'm using the ITaskScheduler interface (1.0). This works great except when I try to use IScheduledWorkItem GetFlags or SetFlags. Then the OS's that use 2.0 (Vista +) return a different result fr...
Why is it that I can find lots of information on "work stealing" and nothing on "work shrugging" as a dynamic load-balancing strategy? By "work-shrugging" I mean pushing surplus work away from busy processors onto less loaded neighbours, rather than have idle processors pulling work from busy neighbours ("work-stealing"). I think the ...
