I think if you ring it the hotel people call your room and ask what you would like brought up.

Took me a second, but you cracked me up again - I needed that.

Use it to order designer drugs.

What kind of desinger drugs? BTW, did you get the USB Cable I sent? I didn't get the return receipt yet but I'm guessing you got it already. Holla back ;-)

Okay so if this were a dataset, would it be Full Service?

I think that this is used to implement the Service layer of the Shocker Class in WCF. I've seen this used with the GiveService(int, int) method in the MSDN documentation. The Patterns and Practices recommendation is GiveService(4, 4), if I'm not mistaken.

GetService() is used to specify the two endpoints of the service.

I may be wrong here, but you want to stick with GiveService() and save GetService for others that implement that interface. I've found that my clients show a higher rate of satisfaction when I use GiveService() correctly.

BTW, I like the new subtitle. I'd replace "Satan" with "Barney, the Purple Dinosaur", seeing as they are synonyms anyways.

Yo, I never did get the cable - but that's ok - I got one from a co-worker. Not sure what happened.

It's from MarshalByValueComponent. MarshalByValueComponent implements IServiceProvider which defines GetService(Type serviceType) as: "Gets the service object of the specified type.". See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfSystemComponentModelMarshalByValueComponentMethodsTopic.asp and http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfSystemIServiceProviderMethodsTopic.asp

Thanks everyone, Wolfgang in particular - that clears up a lot.
