    SQL has no logic, ergo that description is wrong.

    and, though the report suggests this has got better (who knows, I gave up long ago) suddenly some disparate part of the *new and improved* OS breaks. ADO versions are a good candidate. Your ASP files used CDONTS, too bad we don't do it like that any more.

    Oh you expected automatic database pooling in IIS but that's been deprecated and now your ASP files that store them in the session run out of connections and your customers are on the phone wanting to know why your web app that you wrote last year has started failing.

    been there, burnt the t-shirt etc. etc.

    I'm not an OSS programmer but during the course of my computer use I have :

    I have fixed a few bugs in OSS for our business use (and reported them, naturally).
    I have used OSS files to read how a protocol works.
    I have read OSS files to see what files are being accessed.
    I have added a new feature to OSS and had it merged into the distribution.

    Meanwhile, I have been frustrated by CSS that said "file not found" or Software that assumed I had a C: drive and was unable to fix it.

    "America's 25,000 cotton farmers received more than $3bn in subsidies last year, equivalent to 100% of the market value of cotton output. This works out at a staggering subsidy of $230 an acre."
