In any case, if you were issued a wafer it would expire after a week so you'd need to renew it each Sunday.Nigelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14228972852570724347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8570734860219292199.post-36444702847338039932010-02-08T11:26:26.866+00:002010-02-08T11:26:26.866+00:00The saint would have to give you a token to make s...The saint would have to give you a token to make sure you continued to talk to the same saint throughout your session though.

One saint would be a SPOF: Single Point of Failure.<br /><br />The correct design would be multiple load-balanced saints on different geo locations, different fault lines (robustness against earthquakes, asteroids, etc), all hosted in jurisdictions with compatible government policies (Data protection etc). You wouldn't pray to "the saint of the internet", you'd first log in to the church and get a link whichever saint you were to pray with for that session.SteveLhttp://www.1060.org/blogxter/publish/5noreply@blogger.com
