  1. More info on Oracle's Infrastructure Now Fully Linux-ized · · Score: 4, Interesting
    There's another article here which offers a little more information, including the following, regarding PHP support:

    Rozwat also provided new details on the launch of the Oracle Open Source Development Center -- an online service available through Oracle's online developer network, OTN. The new service will provide developers with software, sample code and extensive tutorials, free-of-charge. Additionally, the company has extended its support for scripting language PHP, including full integration and shipping with Oracle 9i Application Server.

    "It is our goal to be a value-add to the developer community," added Rozwat. "With the development of the OSDC and our extended support of PHP, we continue to invest in the Linux development community. This will be an ongoing priority for us." Rozwat also noted that there have been more than 1 million downloads of Oracle software for Linux, illustrating the extensive, growing use of Oracle together with Linux.

    You know, the biggest problem with that was, every week Tennesse and Chumly would go to Mr Whoopie for advice. Each week he would proceed to go get the blackboard out of the closet, at which point all of the contents of the messy closet would fall on his head.

    You'd think after doing that a few times he'd either clean out the closet, or stop putting the damn blackboard back in there when Tennesse and Chumly leave! Sheesh! :)

    Funny, but noooooo. Vignette is about the biggest pile of shit software out there.

    I had the displeasure of working with it when I worked for quepasa.com (remember this?) Not only was it unbelievably expensive, it was horribly broken. Built-in commands would literally stop working one day. As in, pieces of the production site (that hadn't been touched in weeks) would suddenly not work. As an example, one day the DATE_FORMAT command broke. It was off by one. You could roll dates back a few days with it and it would be fine. Once you incremented up to the current day, it would go off by one from then on.

    There was literally NOTHING about the system that we couldn't have done in Perl of PHP for a lot cheaper, a lot faster, and 1000% better performance. What a waste that was.

    And their tech support was horrendous.

    Hello Nitpick, PERL still is and always has been an abbreviation of "Practical Extraction and Reporting Language"

    Um, no it isn't. Right from the FAQ:

    What's the difference between "perl" and "Perl"?

    One bit. Oh, you weren't talking ASCII? :-) Larry now uses "Perl" to signify the language proper and "perl" the implementation of it, i.e. the current interpreter. Hence Tom's quip that "Nothing but perl can parse Perl." You may or may not choose to follow this usage. For example, parallelism means "awk and perl" and "Python and Perl" look OK, while "awk and Perl" and "Python and perl" do not. But never write "PERL", because perl is not an acronym, apocryphal folklore and post-facto expansions notwithstanding.
