In building my Silverlight RC example using ADO.NET Data Services for Entity Framework and NHibernate I ran into what I think is a common pattern. I am writing an editor for XBox game data. The model for this data uses decorator tables in the database which are modeled as a common "Product" class and derived "Game", "Console" and "Accessory" classes. In the application I am using paging to only look at fifty results at once. This works fine on both sides.

What's the big difference?

I was crufting up a sample LINQ to JSON example today to post in my blog but something odd happened. I couldn't find a public service that both used JSON and supports a security policy file. Let me clarify that.
There was a great turnout for tonight Atlanta Geek Dinner. I had a lot of fun and really enjoyed the conversations that were to be had (technical, political and even some SharePoint).
