Don/t miss this article: Copying an Oracle 10G XE Table to SQL 2005 Using VS 2005 and SSIS

This article is both about Oracle XE 10G and SQL 2005. It's also step-by-step all the way, my signature methodology with a minimalist approach.

Copying an Oracle 10G XE Table to SQL 2005 Using VS 2005 and SSIS

Well it did have another title from the SQL 2005 perspective.

Microsoft does it again

Goodbye to Data Access Pages in Access 2007

I had the pleasure of test driving Access 2007 (beta) to find out that Microsoft no longer supports Data Access Pages which it touted for several years. This is a typical Microsoft refrain. Microsoft is very good at reinventing software for generating revenue. Now you go and buy yourself a SharePoint Server if you want to collaborate.

More Sun Java Studio Creator2 tutorials

These articles were written while verifying how well the new product turned out compared to an earlier version. I find it very much improved in many ways. I still find it somewhat slow compared to my experience with VS 2005, or Oracle. So far whatever I have seen I have liked with this version. I welcome your comments if it can improve what I am doing.

Outsource the students?

I quote New York Times (an article by By WINNIE HU),

"School Districts With Officials but No Schools? New Jersey Has Them ".

If the party involved in the above were to be a private individual, or an organization we would called it just 'scam'. It's a joke we can do without.

This shows only part of the problem with school districts. For the enormous amount of property taxes collected, the results are appalling. We spend way too much on the schools and the returns are below average.

Do we know how much India, China, and Russia spend to educate a student?
I believe this is a very relevant question since we want to be globally competitive. It's time we look at the money spent on schools and start asking questions such as, 'should we outsource our students?'

The most beautifual source code

I totally agree with MarkCC on this feature of the 'Piet' programming language.
Here is the source code for the well known "Hello World" in Piet Language.

Why should I upgrade to Windows Vista?

Well really there is no necessity. I ran the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor and I can only see negative points.
I am running Windows Media Center Edition presently and I see no reason to upgrade for the following reasons although Microsoft recommends that my machine is Vista Ready (with several hidden threats).

Problems which needs my attention:
I need a HD Audio Driver otherwise I will loose audio
I have to make sure that my video card supports TV Output*
I have to have an approved TV tuner card
I need to upgrade my Video Card.-I don't care for the Windows Aero™ user experience
whatever it is.
*Frankly I hate to watchTV on my Computer

On the programs side:
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 (Version 5.0.70.3) will not work
Microsoft SQL Server VSS Writer does not work
Sonic MyDVD Plus does not work--What is it anyway?
Microsoft Works(version8.4.621) does not work(no pun intended)*
*By the way Microsoft Works which comes as a baggage on all the computers I ever bought is an uselss appendage. I have never used it and will never use it.

Notes on Binary Democracy

Binary democracy is the flavor of democracy in USA. For all these years it is either the Republicans or the Democrats. Well in a nation with such variety and color, it cannot all be black or white. The hall mark of democracy must be plurality which is sadly missing. Yes, there are others just so we can cite that there are others. They are of no consequence as they lack the 'grease' that is required to gain a following. As for me, while voting, I look for any third party and vote, no matter what they stand for. May be someday some other party will make it to the top.
When it comes to voting on public questions I am at least on a firmer and clearer ground.
