I use both C# and Java everyday and I think that the reflection issue won't hurt many people.
I prefer the Java approach because it means my 1.5 Java code is compatible with pretty much every modern JVM out there.
I'm sick of trying to identify whether I have a user machine with.NET 1.1 or 1.0 on it. I know that my C# code should work on 1.1 and 1.0 but I have far less confidence than (say) running my 1.4 code on a 1.3 JVM. Java gives me a lot more confidence!
Walk where possible. It's cheap, great exercise and you get in touch with the world you live in.
Go to a runners shop, tell them your budget and get some running shoes. Don't use them for anything other than running (preferably get 2 pairs and rotate them).
Start running around your local park. Smell the flowers. If you get tired, walk a bit then run again.
I started running two years ago. I couldn't run more than 200 yards at first. Now I run half-marathons and run 12+ miles every a sunday morning.
I do all my best thinking whilst running so you'll get smarter too.
Assuming your serverside technology is flexible enough i.e. Java, Python, C++. You could implement both SOAP and CORBA as means of getting your clients to talk to servers.
Why should Gates give it all away now?
No-one gives away their whole fortune in a single go. What would it achieve?
Far better to give big donations when they are needed.
For server based applications JMX is a must.
Don't write off log4j.
Spring is very good indeed.
In the UK supermarkets sell VHS recorders for 50 quid or so - who'd go to a high street store where they cost 150 quid?
Absolute rubbish.
At least one of these was used to dig a giant storm drain in Brighton on the south coast of england.

I've done this recently and it's a piece of cake.
