After all, where else (and if you do know please tell), can you see posts threatening grevious bodily harm and strange sexual practices because a recently deceased technical writer apparently did not like a particular OS or scripting language.
It's just FANTASTIC. Talk about lacking a sense of perspective.
I mean, come on, OS's are important up to a point, but death threats?
Having said that, anybody coming to/. for serious info is obviously new to the content anyway. I come for the freak show and well worth the computer time it is.
Can I suggest allowing people to see only posts that have been moderated down below a certain level that way I can ignore all the serious stuff and concentrate on the amusing psycopaths for my thesis.
The psycopaths are all part of what make/./., a little local colour in the community.
Thers is no doubt that Oracle is the superior product, but thats not the whole story. Yes if you are running a large DB with say a couple of thousand users then you wouldn't look twice at MS SQL on NT. But lets say you've got twenty users with a support resource limited both in size and technical ability, would Oracle on Solaris be your first choice?
Well, a lot of argument about nothing, there are situations when an Oracle/Sun solution would be appropriate and situations when an MS SQL/NT solution would be. it just depends on the situation, their is no definitive answer.
