Oracle Embraces Mozilla

kiggs writes "According to this article from eWeek, Oracle Corp. is ready to extend its 'Linux Everywhere' campaign to client systems. At next week's LinuxWorld in New York, Oracle will announce that it will enable the Mozilla open-source Web browser to run Oracle applications in the coming year. Dave Dargo, vice president of Oracle's Linux Program Office and the Performance Engineering team within its Platform Technologies Division, says that Oracle will look to expand its 1.5-year-old Linux support program by supporting Linux not just as a server but as a client."

  5. Slightly OT: Thunderbird spam filter by rokzy · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    have spammers found a way to turn it off or bypass? it's worked really well so far but the last few days loads of annoyingly obvious stuff has been getting through.

      I've had more stuff getting through too, but the emails that have been through in the past few days have more text in them, a. nd I'$$m NoTT t;a()l king r a d dom. pun.ctu.at.ion. mar;ks; but proper coherent text. The body of the email is still the remote loading picture, but under it are either random combinations of phrases that make sence individually but not stuck together or old news headlines and blurbs. Interesting to see how/if Thunderbird adapts.
