Oracle Staff Report Big Layoffs Across Solaris, SPARC Teams (theregister.co.uk)
Simon Sharwood, reporting for the Register: Soon-to-be-former Oracle staff report that the company made hundreds of layoffs last Friday, as predicted by El Reg, with workers on teams covering the Solaris operating system, SPARC silicon, tape libraries and storage products shown the door. Oracle's media relations agency told The Register: "We decline comment." However, Big Red's staffers are having their say online, in tweets such as the one below. "For real. Oracle RIF'd most of Solaris (and others) today," an employee said. A "RIF" is a "reduction in force", Oracle-speak for making people redundant (IBM's equivalent is an "RA", or "resource action"). Tech industry observer Simon Phipps claims "~all" Solaris staff were laid off. "For those unaware, Oracle laid off ~ all Solaris tech staff yesterday in a classic silent EOL of the product."

Was this book that had the handyman turning off the water and Larry Ellison screaming that he was in the shower with two women?
Larry is basically a smarter Trump.
Larry is probably not into golden showers.

Don't drag your private life into the discussion, creimer.
The discussion was about Larry Eliison and Donald Trump. According to the Russians, Trump has a fondness for hookers and golden showers.

You're still in "Special Ed," Chris, your case inspired Martin Scorsese for the movie "Shutter Island":
FTFY — The movie was based on the book by Dennis Lehane.
On that note, "Patrick" (1978) was a better nut house movie. I've always liked the part where he throws a space heater into the bathtub with his mother and her lover. Electrifying!
