You're the one initiating the data transfer when you tell your browser to go to http://www.google.com/ [google.com]; you pay, just as the person sending a snail mail letter initiates the transfer, and hence pays the postage. Would you think it reasonable for the USPS to bill you as well as the sender for mail sent to you?
My cell phone company does this (in fact, I think most do). Of course, I've always hated this and feel that it's unfair, so...
I connect to the internet through an ISP (ATT) who charges me different rates depending on how fast I want to go. I decide whether faster down/up load rates are worth the extra dollars to me. From ATT's perspective, I'm consuming so much of a limited resource and they're charging me for doing so.
Other than scale, how is this different than Google or Yahoo? If they want to go fast (and it's probably in their financial interest to do so), they'll pay. If they're consuming more of a limited resource, why shouldn't they pay more?
Hmmm, I've been an Oracle DBA for almost as long as I can remember (not that that's pertinent to your situation:) ), but I've never seen this behavior.
There are an awful lot of "ORA-nnnnn Unable to extend..." errors (depending on what you're allowing to autoextend) that are trapped and reported to the process that encountered the error as well as some(/most/all?) being reported in the alert.log. I've seen nearly every variation of those (table/index/other segment, tablespace, file, and yes, disk).
Behavior that you're describing is a bug and you should report it. Since you're at 9.2.0.4, maybe it's been reported before and there's a patch available. I think the current version is 9.2.0.7 (maybe.6).
The article's title says "My sysadmin toolbox", but the first paragraph says: "They're not exactly my sysadmin toolbox -- more like my desktop enhancement kit."
Maybe the editor at linux.com is at fault? Who chose the title?
This is the "tease", right? OK, I'll bite. Let's have the rest of your mother's story.
I can understand that the anti-Bush stuff might get her some extra attention (not necessarily "should", but "would"), but what does "'daring' to carry some silver dollars" have to do with getting one placed on a terrorist watch list?
What was provocative about carrying a copy of the constitution? (Perhaps using it to whack a TSA goof would be provocative, though.)
What does "Two trips later, my mom was given the "uber search" each time" mean? Did she get two trips without the "uber search"? Or she was given the "uber search" on the next two trips, 'till you changed her name? (BTW, that seems to violate the spirit of "I never lie. I never use them to defraud anything.", if not the letter.)
Also, I thought the rules for ID at airports required a *government issued* photo ID. If you've been printing up your own and using those at airports, isn't that fraudulent?
Of course, one of major underlying factors in the planet's going to hell is a lack of cheap, non-polluting, cheap, safe, cheap power in the form of fusion-generated electricity. Once we get cheap, non-polluting, safe, fusion-generated electricity, we (all 6+ billion of us) can exploit this planet the way it was meant to be exploited without killing ourselves in the process. All wealth flows from the availability of cheap power.
Yes, of course, programming is a craft. And a good craftsman often can make the 'object of craft' attractive while not reducing it's functionality.
Even some crafts can be artlike, however not programming, dammit. Art ALWAYS involves a measure of personal expression, if it doesn't, by definition, it's not Art, it's just Craft.
There is no room for person expression in programming, therefore, programming is not, and cannot be, Art.
I normally don't either, but when I recently bought a new machine at CompUSA, the salesman, because he only needed to attain a certain margin on the deal, was able to reduce the price of the hardware more than the cost of the extended warranty. I saved about $50 and I get the privilege of getting onsite replacement of the parts I fry when I'm, uh, experimenting with my own upgrades.

Thanks for the explanation. Now I see what all the shouting is about.

But even archiver hangs are just that: hangs. It doesn't "crash" which what my parent poster claimed.
Your last point is well taken.

Maybe only Oracle does this?:
...) values (v1, v2, v3, ...) ... ...
... ... ...
insert into tab (col1, col2, col3,
returning expr1, expr2,
into var1, var2,
or
update tab
set col1=v1, col2=v2, col3=v3,
returning expr1, expr2,
into var1, var2,
No new 'paradigms' until we get all the other 'salvations' under control.
