• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. So how does this (non)commercial business work?

  Can anyone please enlighten me on how this all will work. How I see it, there are two points for having XNA. 1. To let gamers make Xbox 360 non-commercial games freely to play on their own consoles. 2. To let gamers make Xbox 360 commercial games that they may transfer over live. But can we sell these games & start a business And where do our limits end & then begin again with Pro I have been trying to start a video game business for years now, working with teams and software, and Microsoft XNA can be a new pedestal for my team and business.   Thanks in advance.

• SQL Server Using OLE object within a procedure

  Can anyone help me address pros and cons of calling OLE object within a stored procedure. As we know system stored procedures such as sp_OACreate, sp_OAMethod are used to create and call OLE objects.

This can be done using a procedure and job to schedule the calls.
