What's the difference? Whenever i get free beers i get to pay the next morning and id rather clean a puppy's mess than ache all over

There's also free-as-in-facebook, where you are the product.

Yes. Let the ~hatred~ puppy spread through you. Feel the power!

I love your “free as in free puppy” line. I will have to use it myself in the future.

Just remember that the expensive puppy isn't house trained either when you get it, and it will need just as much attention and eat just as much food as the free puppy.

I'm saying this as someone who knows way too much about Oracle databases ;-)

Choose a "puppy" you can love. Get it from someone you trust and get one that's right for your situation.

“Free chlamydia” is a better simile for Oracle.
