I develop a Java app using JDBC and Oracle's Type 4 driver, tied into the old Oracle 8 pre-release for Linux. I've never had a problem, and it is very fast.
At the same time, this is a fairly specific issue in German culture--the burden of Naziism. Germany has no problems with nudity in advertisements, etc., but having a Nazi flag is "verboten".
I wonder if the hysteria (and censorship, etc.) that Katz describes is limited to the US. It certainly seems that a good chunk of Europe is nowhere near as hysterical as the US is about the Net (moral legislation, etc.), or its much ballyhooed promises of eternal life and such;).

Does anyone get a creepy feeling of lost innoncence from this story? I feel dirty.
I think they were referring to Molnar Ingo... and that isn't his handle, it's his name! Heh ;).
Man, that's hilarious. There used to be a great collection of 404 pages laying around on the web... I wonder where it went. Hmm... Google time.
