"funneling users to their services first, "
Yeah that'll work well with anti trust issue in EU.
"tracking your system usage"
Yeah that'll work well with data protection issues in EU.
As long as they share data with the local government's spying organization everything will be fine.
Which republic? First? Second? Third? Fourth? Fifth?
Which incarnation?
And who would you rather have? Robespierre, Napoleon or de Gaulle?
French (Revolution) model as in round up all the 1%ers and all that support them, put them in prison and chop their heads off. Repeat as necessary.
Doesn't matter who they install in office. As The Who said, "Meet the new boss, Same as the old boss."
...and have your original game CD mounted in drive D:, (your CD drive isnt maped to D:? though s#$@.) and verify you have a working Internet connection to our authentication servers. And make sure the key dongle is plugged into a USB port. And bend over and be scanned by our full penetration rectal biometric scanner...
When I saw "Meteotsunami", I first thought that this is a tsunami caused by a large meteorite impact. No, scratch that. It actually sounded a little bit too much like a name of a new Final Fantasy attack combo.
I don't know about a Meterotsunami, but a Metrotsunami is caused by Poseidon being frustrated by the interface on his new Windows 8 tablet.
What we need is a generator that runs on bullshit. Washington DC could be the Saudi Arabia of bovine excrement power with ample reserve in Wall St. in the unlikely event that DC should ever prove insufficient.
... I can believe the 'bug' explanation. They've been cranking out bugs since 1977. So they're clearly the experts on the subject.
But their software is perfect and if you are having problems it must be because you are doing something downright stupid. Or at least that is the impression I get from Oracle support.
I guess I was saying that, in regards to the time of the reps, it's always worth their time.
Call up an Oracle rep (assuming you are not already an Oracle customer) asking for a quote on a 5 user base Oracle database license and see how long it takes him to get back to you.
You may not be aware, but Oracle costs a TON of money. It's always worth a rep's time, because they're getting paid massive amounts of money to tell you how to do a LIMIT, OFFSET in Oracle. Forcing people over to Oracle from MySQL, for those gullible enough to do it, will mean some extra chump change for Oracle while simultaneously driving off anyone smart enough to go with a truly open alternative. No skin off their backs - Oracle has one client who is a Big Bank, and that's probably enough business from licensing to bankroll all the phone support for all of their products until the end of time.
(sorry to my previous mod ups - you guys were funny and insightful - I'm sure others will mod appropriately - lol @ FirstPostgreSQL)
Actually that was my point. If you are using MySQL and you are forced to move to another database platform (other than for outgrowing MySQL) Oracle is probably the last one you would look at due to licensing cost. And you would probably look at Oracle in that case if you were already an Oracle shop. Even then it might be better to move to PortgeSQL or even MS-SQL.

Sir, you have a really old house.
According to property records the house was originally owned by a F. Flintstone back when the community was known as Bedrock.
Give her a break, it's for her glocouma.

I think the French model is much more likely.

Neal Peart was not the original drummer for Rush. He joined for the second album.
if you can run on a low power system as you describe it is probably a good candidate for virtualization.

It's just a smartphone version of the mood rings that were popular in the '70s.

Honestly, I can't pick a side. Either for or against.
By any chance are these the same HR departments looking for 5 years of Windows 2012 experience?
searching for vaccines and autism turns up a lot of hits too. Despite being debunked multiple times.
Lions and Tigers and Bears (and Wolves), Oh My!

Obama? I thought global warming was caused by Al Gore.
Listening to conservatives I have learned that *everything* is Obama's fault.
Just preloaded it with the "Fifty Shades of Gray" trilogy.
lost badly. I should sue the lawyer for conflict of interest.

Rovio would disagree.

I don't think there is enough overlap between Oracle and MySQL to generate enough sales to make it worth the Oracle reps time to answer the phone.
