    1. COI see. So you've basically got an "on hold" flag and you're querying for items that are in that state...? It is tricky to poll for items such that you'd never miss a state change in this case. (You could look at recently modified work items and crawl their history, but that's awfully tedious.) Another option is to use the TFS Alerts Explorer, which allows you to configure much finer-grained alerts that your administrators may be happier with and use either SOAP or email alerts as appropriate: http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/c255a1e4-04ba-4f68-8f4e-cd473d6b971f

    2. COI stand corrected about the POSIX reference. In any case, I'm not sure what we're arguing about: you're stating that hostid is, by default, generated by swapping some bits on the IP address. I agree - this is simply a fact. I'm stating that users can set the hostid after the fact so that the mangled IP address does not accurately reflect a call to gethostid(3). This is also a fact. Whether this is a problem for the original poster's application is a judgement call that, without more knowledge, I don't think either of us can make.

    3. CO@Edwin - well, gethostid and sethostid aren't defined by POSIX and the man and info pages don't guarantee how the value is determined. But my point is that the Java implementation depends on the audience: if you're distributing this application to end users, they will probably expect this to respect a hostid they've set. (Perhaps they want a consistent hostid when their IP addresses are dynamic. Perhaps an IP-based hostid is simply not unique in their environment because they have many offices behind NATs that share similar characteristics and they need uniqueness across those offices.)
