Hi All,
From a message below I am fiddling around updating software at home and have come across an oddity using Win 10 I have used VS2005, 2008 & 2015 to write exactly the same Windows code a simple Button on a form which displays a message box, with the message 'Hello World' to verify nothing had got broken upgrading to Office 365. Looking at the Exe size in Explorer 2005: 20K, 2008: 8K & 2015 6K,
Odd, I have obviously missed out on some severe efficiency saving in size if only Windows would make a tight & fast embedded os...

No, you don't. I once did say the right thing and gained a friend for life.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

Is "gained" the correct word to use?

In the holy tradition of sarcasm, yes.

Rediscovering some of the good stuff from Golden Earring here. I'd forgotten how much fun some of this stuff is...

I saw those guys live in around 1977 or so. It was a really fun show. This was during their "Radar Love" era and that was a great song.

WTF would I want an AI-enabled drinks cabinet? If I want to drink with someone, I already own a mirror!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Could I please borrow your mirror? I need a change from my own.

As long as the supply and its flow are not compromised then I would give it some slack. If that were to happen though I would unplug the thing.

Well done! I was hoping the potential anagram might be a distraction.

Hi All,
Having a day off from the salt mine, fire up the home PC and do a little fiddling, install office 365, I had VS 2005, 2008, 2013 & 2015. 365 took so blooming long, I got bored and wandered off. Came back to PC this am and found 365, VS 2005 & 2008 working, 2013 & 2015 not. I was under the impression that 2015 was under the community licence and wouldn't time out, it appears to have...  , pretty much all the software that I have written is in 2008 so I am okay from that perspective, but can I reset the community licence...![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif)

IIRC it looked to me that way (like VS CE would time out) some time after I first installed it until I figured out MS wants you to have a MS Live account to keep using it. Ever since then no troubles.

I'll give that a go, you know what, didn't even occur to me! Hmmm MS Live...

I have a small java program running SQL against our ERP running on iSeries DB2 to create CSV to be fed to another system. All was OK until recently something happened and the data doesn't look right. SQL query was giving exact result as expected when run via WinSQL. We found one of the column wasn't getting right data. All the values were 0.0 . Column in question is of type Decimal(17,6).
I started debugging and found different behavior using ODBC connection vs using direct JDBC driver.
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver"); // This gives proper data
Class.forName("com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDriver"); // This converts it to null.
I tried every combination for the JDBC driver. getString, getBigDecimal, getObject. All resulted in null value. I tried 3 different version of driver jar files and they are all the same. Something is not right with the driver.

Are the drivers from IBM?
