Just great! That's an ideal state - now tell me how do you think TV will improve your home/family?

So, a free TV is not so common, so maybe care to elaborate how you got it to such a low price ?

When for the very first time I heard Microsoft going open source on something, It was a big news for me and I went to see Where/What and tried to explore more into it. And the news sounded more attractive than some lady opening up for magazine covers.
But as you hear this type of news on a daily basis from MS , bit by bit, I read the headlines. Say "Oh! now this!" okay, then I get back to work. & Why do they do bit by bit, it's kinda striptease for geeks? 
And who would really be interested into decoding MS products. Anybody here doing it and trying to gain something out of it?
I knew open source source is "good", & I love to see MS getting this way, just wanted to see who are truly getting benefited out of this, straight.

No matter how much open-sauce they use on the source, Microsoft will never reach steatopygia: it's not in their DNA.

From John Cleese:
The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent events in Syria and have therefore raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out.
Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to "A Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.
The Scots have raised their threat level from "Pissed Off" to "Let's get the Bastards." They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.
The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide." The only two higher levels in France are "Collaborate" and "Surrender." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability.
Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout Loudly and Excitedly" to "Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides."
The Germans have increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbour" and "Lose."
Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.
The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.
Australia , meanwhile, has raised its security level from "No worries" to "She'll be right, Mate." Two more escalation levels remain: "Crikey! I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!" and "The barbie is cancelled." So far no situation has ever warranted use of the last final escalation level.
And as a final thought - Greece is collapsing, the Iranians are getting aggressive, and Rome is in disarray. Welcome back to 430 BC.

Well, this was sent to me by a friend and it said this was written by John Cleese.
If that is incorrect, I am afraid it may have been Leslie Nielsen who wrote this!![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

It was attributed to John Cleese some years after it first started doing the rounds. Why someone did that I do not know.

Good day.
Managed to talk to oracle with .net via just one small oracle dll and no oracle client. Always hated how you had to pollute a client with oracle s**t just so I can talk to oracle. SQL Server just works and Oracle has always been a pain in the ....
Not anymore.. Yippee

Oracle file. Oracle.manageddataaccess.dll. Add it as a reference and imports or using oracle.managedclient.data.client and also one for types (going by memory as Tuesday's done and home now). From there it similar to sql methods

Haven't done extensive testing but the seems a bit faster. Reality may be different. Not sure if there are any gotchas yet, but seems to work well and cleanly.
Going to do more testing. Only changed one behind the scenes app that works well on a sql box with no oracle client of any sort on it.
NB I believe it needs .net 4 or 4.5. Definitely not 3.5

Had a look at it a couple of years ago when it was still in beta, it was quite buggy then, maybe it's time for another look.
I'd love to be able to include a dll instead of having to install a client, having to take bitness and other weird oddities into consideration.

We've used the client access part of odp in the past (6 dll ~180mb), but this one reduces it to one dll about 6mb. Seems to be designed specifically for .net. Certainly worth a look and I'd be interested to see how other people find it.

It is.
I'm just a late adopter. I want the bugs ironed out before I use it in production. But it seems to be time to check it out again.
