I just installed Forms 4.5 for someone yesterday. No crash. No patch.
What version of installer are you using? 3.1 (No c. in the end). Then try start up "orainst.exe" and see it crash when adding some software component.
40 Oracle 7.3.4 servers (39 production, one test)
this is important:
7.3.4.0 or 7.3.4.4? (if it is 7.3.4.0 you should really upgrade to 7.3.4.4)
They all have PL/SQL based forms (somewheres around 40-50 forms, Oracle forms: then your pl/sql is version 1 and that does not even support plsql records. Let alone you could crash something. PL/SQL( server based )had some very specific bugs in 7.3.4. They were solve in 7.3.4.1, but introduced some "features" in database links.
By the way 7.3.4 is now more or less unsoprted by oracle. If you find any bugs their respons will be: upgrade.
I also use Designer 2000 with no problems, though I'm not sure of the version I understand you are not aware of the subversions, but if you are not sure if you are running a 1.2, 1.3, 1.6 or 2.0 release then i do not beleive you really use it.
Never had a "bye-bye instance" (in the 14 months I've been involved, anyway). Never had a bye bye isstance on production either. But on test/development i sure had some. and then i do not mean a bye bye isstance because some dumb administator rm -f Some oracle file or disk crash.
I could produce a much longer list on oracle bugs. but i must add this product can be made very stable in the end. Something i can not say from a Microsoft access based Database.
We use them in some extremely large and significant datawarehousing situations and have probably managed to kill the server once in three years
Then you certainly have not tried the following thing:
-Install forms 4.5 now. Forms 4.5 is year 2000 complient, the installer crashes (!)(there is a patch but.....)
-use plsql records in a 7.3.4. DB. Bye bye instance.
-use designer 2000 1.2.
and the list goes on and on.

There are several things wrong with this current system:
-Moderation wars. (like happened to this parent)
-Moderators who mod something down where there was much more interresting stuff to mod up.
-Early post get modded. (up OR down.) late posts get seldom a moderation point. Moderators are just lazy that is something that is not reflected in metamoderation.

Open source developers face new warranty threat Rosen and Kunze were attempting to secure an exemption from implied warranties of merchantability, fitness, or non-infringement for a computer program, "provided under a license that does not impose a license fee for the right to the source code, to make copies, to modify, and to distribute the computer program."

get an nVidia geForce based card with TV out, enable TwinView mode, and send the video and audio out to your VCR. Voila. Macrovision gone;
1. Macrovision isn't gone. your video will like S****
2. Tvout on most geforce cards is not that good: it will be in letterbox format. And the image quality is not DVD quality in lots of cases. But it depends on the card.
3. Some DVD play software does not play "twinview" it show the dvd only on the monitor.
First of all. My Charlie did nothing wrong. They can sell bobs app for a fee(check the gpl), as long as they give the source with it.
They can also make some add-ons (lets say configuration utility) that they do not gpl.
My point is they spend a lot of time to make the last 10% of the application (which as you know takes 90% of the time). They spend time and do that for a profit.
By the way: notice that i say "bob takes the sources of charlie" where i mean charlie did release the source changes.
.. catiline... When I write for an open source project, I want to ensure that knowledge is not used for another person's private profit
Then the GPL may not be the best licence for you. It states that it is about information sharing, not about gratis software. they may ask any amount of money for the software you wrote.
It is all about:Do you want software that gets the job done, or Will you end up in the license flamewar. 8/)
As long you keep in mind that what you think is an opinion.
Hypothetical case 3: Bob comes up with a 'killer open source app' and releases it under the GPL licence- but his idea isn't completed yet. The company Charlie works at has been struggling to write a similar app, and Bob's source will fit the bill. Charlie uses it to create his company's app, which then goes to market. Bob picks up the last needed sources to complete his package and creates a package that is included in a popular distribution. Charlie will sell very little media with the software on it, even though they spend a lot of time testing and fine-tuning the app. But since their verions is 95% identical to the free version no one buys it and the R&D department of Company charlie is "written off". bye bye charlie, get a new job.
Freenet "sucks" because it is written in java? I bite.
Java is not by default slow. Just take a look arround. the choice for jave is clearly motivated.
But you could rewrite the freenet in C++ (whiterose). nothing hold you back but for that freenet is a moving target. It is still very much in development.
The problem here is that you can also have freeloaders. there is is option to have a "transient" node. This is a node option that only downloads. The "not hosting any files" that happens a lot in gnutella is however solved in freenet.
Well, it is a way to convert your notebook to a luggable. 8-).From the specification i cannot see how big this toy is. but to "Experience high-definition audio with 24-bit multi-channel performance with 100dB SNR clarity" you need a damn big stereo. [slow picture alert]
By the way what is "100dB SNR clarity". good sound? or good golden ear sound? ^g^g
-Compressing to 1 byte is not the problem , decompressing to the full size is.
-If the target is 1 byte, why not set it for 1 bit?
-The number of times to reach this bytes must mbe told.
-They never say 100:1 is reached in one of your cycles.
-There was a time restriction to be overcome. It is surely no fun (No fun at all...) do decompress a byte a few milion times to get to your 1MB word document.
-read exactly what they claim. It is all in the language used.
It has been said before: there are benchmarks and lies. What we need is a bench mark for system responsiviness. But i haven't seen this yet. But there are a few things that give you a clue we need a good test for this :
-There are lots of remarks the new linux kernel feels unresponsive, but in the benchmarks it test better than ever before. There is a low-latency patch that did not make it because there is not clear test this helps.
-I know a PC with 256 MB ram responds better than a pc with 128 MB ram from experience (i.e. MS word starts up faster) But in the test this not very visible.
-A stutter in the sound is written of to bad drivers, but is very annoying. Is there any test for this? (other then just listen to a mp3)
The industry did not challenge the sexual-content provision. from the article.

Moderation helps me to find the real good comments under a moderate interesting article. That is: promote the gems.
That is completely the opposite of a killfile (or a friendfile, does that exists as well?). There i have to read all the articles and kill the not interesting authors myself.
And is moderation terrible now? please explain what is terrible. I know of only 1 point: early posts are moderated too often.
Jokes are very hard to understand. I had a simular experience like yours a few weeks ago. THe subject was "MAKE MONEY FAST" on a topic on spam. Did get 3 troll/oftopic moderations in no time.
By the way, the smily in "RIGHT NOW" 8-) should have warned you this was meant as funny as well. I hope you got that.
In an effort to make a "first post" that would be found by stegdetect i failed so far:.
Making a small image that contains "first post" with jhsteg stegdetct fails to find it.
If i make a big picture jpsteg warns it fails to insert to complete file.
By simply resizing the picture(paint shop pro) it should hide in stegdetect says:(skipped)this is likely a false positive. just because the origin is blocky.
Blurring the orginal picture solves this problem and after 3 more ties i find a ratio the jpsteg program still allows to insert and at the same time makes stegdetect bark.
Now to insert it in usenet: sh*t no usenet access from this location, and a fail to find a free service to insert a picture. Ebay needs a credit card, so no luck inserting it in ebay.
