  2. Re:Database of the year? on Oracle Named Database of the Year, MongoDB Comes In Second (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    Oracle is one those products that companies tend to use because the bank told them to. We have a number of applications that use Oracle where I work they are all a nightmare and some of them despite being extremely complex are not even normalized. It's just scary that anyone can even think of writing a database like that even an amateur.

    Actually the first ones were captured by the Poles! There were several occasions where enigma machines were rescued from stricken German ships at least one of which involved American forces. Whatever the nationality anyone who went into one of these subs under these circumstances is a hero and not all of them survived.

    If that were true, and it's not quite established that it is, all that would mean is that you have more shitty laws than we do. You've had more time to create them. Legality has never been the same as morality or even common sense, and is often not aligned with the will or good of the people, so your argument ("the law says so") is stupid.

    Find me a law that isn't shitty they are all written from the point of view that in order to stop a minority of people doing something we have to make it illegal for everybody. As for laws in foreign countries being shittier than ours I'm sure that holds true from the point of view of citizens of most civilized countries where the police actually get prosecuted if they shoot dead an unarmed civilian who was trying to surrender. However, that's not true for my country ( https://www.google.co.uk/url?s... ) or yours.
