A quick solution to producer consumer problem. I am sure this can be improved..(and might even have bugs).. using System; using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Threading; namespace Algorithms { class ProducerConsumer { private static Queue<int> buffer = new Queue<int>(); static AutoResetEvent producerEvent = new AutoResetEvent(false); static AutoResetEvent consumerEvent = new AutoResetEvent(false); public static void Producer() { while (true) { lock(buffer) { if (buffer.Count == 0) { buffer.Enqueue(1); Console.WriteLine( Thread.CurrentThread.Name + "has produced"); consumerEvent.Set(); } } } } public static void Consumer() { while(true) { lock(buffer) { if (buffer.Count == 1) { buffer.Dequeue(); Console.WriteLine( Thread.CurrentThread.Name + "has consumed"); } } ...

- Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th president of the United States and the nation's first African-American president Tuesday. This is a transcript of his prepared speech. (Reference CNN) My fellow citizens:I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition. Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often, the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms.

So it has been. So it must be with this generat...

IF there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer. It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference. It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled – Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America. It's the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful...
