Can Oracle 10g Express do SOAP calls?
I may have to generate some sample code for accessing a web service I publish using Oracle, and I don't want to get too far in if I can't do it from the free version. (I.E. if it costs money, I want to budget first, learn later...)
So, are you an Oracle guru? Can 10g Express do direct calls to a SOAP based web services (that is without relying on some other middle layer like PHP, Java, or .NET - unless of course that is the "official" way to support calls out of Oracle...)
Thanks!
Forms Authentication, Identities and Roles from a Database: One of the most useful and perhaps most misunderstood authentication schemes built in to the ASP.NET runtime is Forms Authentication. Useful, because it is highly extensible and flexible (as we'll see in a moment). Misunderstood, because most developers don't get past the default setup described in the documentation and therefore never find out how to extend and customize it.
I still don't understand why I have to roll my own Forms auth with Roles, I would expect that everyone would want to use roles, but oh well...
DPWT - Highway Maintenance: Leaf Vacuuming: The Leaf Collection Program will be conducted for approximately 6 to 8 weeks, and includes postings for 2 scheduled pick-ups. We will post green signs throughout the work areas several days before our crews' arrival. We will attempt to allow a weekend for residents to rake their leaves to the edge of the road for vacuum pick-up. Signs will be removed after our crews complete each street. The second and final fall collection will begin after Thanksgiving. The timing will depend on weather conditions. Red signs will indicate that this is the final collection. The same procedure of posting, collection, and sign removal is used for the final vacuum collection.
I saw people collecting leaves, I never saw any green signs...

Congratulations! You have now turned a major expense into an investment. What are you missing? Not much. We did it and still watch all our favorite shows. Most were broadcast (Lost, 24, etc.) . Using a $16 digital antenna our picture quality is actually better than our old digital cable. Most of our favorite cable shows (Daily Show, Colbert Report) are available for free on the Internet. Our kids watch videos on Disney.com and Nick.com and we get current movies and HBO shows with a Netflix subscription. Props: CancelCable.com via Washington Post via Lord Scarlet
UBI continues to deliver the love:
Not only does the game look stunning, but I could watch the demo to the official site a dozen times over. Now I know why I still have a PS3 (and, of course, replaying Ratchet & Clank since I had no backup of my game save...)
When I got my T-Mobile G1 I couldn't find anywhere around here with street view. Thanks to Thayer Ave I now know that Silver Spring is full on robot street view, and Bethesda they're just getting started. Here's the back of my house:

Yes, this is a plug for a friend, but he's good, really really good...
Decided to trade in the Jetta, picked up a Mazda5. More seating room, lower monthly payment, not as good millage, but as much as I drive, it still won't be more than I'm saving a month on the payment, so I come out ahead. Basically it looks like this: Mine is dark silver, though, and doesn't have fog lamps, or the cool honeycomb grill, or the roof things for luggage. So far so good. Drives real nice, and even with 4 cylendars it has quite a bit of zoom zoom...
Activision and Blizzard parent merge in $18 billion deal - Joystiq: File this under "straight out of left field" -- Activision, the publishing powerhouse behind the Call of Duty and Tony Hawk series; and Vivendi Games, owner of Blizzard Entertainment, which you probably don't need us to tell you is behind the Warcraft and Starcraft series, are coming together to form "the world's most profitable games business," cleverly named Activision Blizzard.
So when is World of River Raid coming out?
Anyone who has lived in DC for a while knows that with each new administration, it means new restaurants. Bush Sr. liked Chinese. Clinton like Mickey-Ds and Dominoes, when W got here we got some Austin-style Tex-Mex. So what can we expect from the Obama camp? Seems reports are he likes to cook Chili and serve it over rice. He also seems to like Pizza and comfort/soul food. I'm hoping it gets Rick Bayless to open a real Mexican place in the city. Chicago dogs? Kansas ribs? Hawaiian spam and poi? Doubt it means Kenyan or Indonesian food, but how great would that be? What are you hoping for?
