rvannieuwpoort writes "Ibis 1.0 has been released. Ibis is a flexible and efficient Java-based programming environment for Grid computing. Ibis improves Java's serialization and RMI performance up to a factor of 10. It also extends Java with a range of communication paradigms, including group communication, divide-and-conquer and collective communication. An additional nice feature of Ibis is that it can communicate through firewalls, without opening ports, using TCP. Ibis is free software (BSD-style license). It runs on any platform that has a Java 1.4 or higher JVM."

paradigms

I demand this word to be banished from every language. When I find a word which my english-finnish dictionary only offers [word]-ma explanation, I want to scream.

2:FEF> paradigm paradigms,['pÔrÉ,daÈm],formal, paradigma (muotosarja), kaava (malli) .

If it doesn't mean what you want to say, don't use it.

kaava(form) or malli (model) would have been perfectly acceptable and would sound less retarded.
