    Well, I bought my 13 year old daughter the most expensive iPOD last year and was thinking about buying her an ibook for christmas, but I can't stand Apple anymore, no matter how good people claim their products are.
    So, Apple, you lost the sale of an ibook this year. It probably means jack shit to you, but in the long tun, it does.

    Well, I personally think that the Mac commercials are some of the most stupid commercials ever produced. But then again, 99.9% of all commercials are so stupid that i never buy any of their products. When they treat me as an idiot, I have no interest in forking over my money to them.

    The biblical flood is impossible as it would require the whole planet to be under more than 29000 feet of water. That is a rainfall of approx 30 feet per hour. That is not rain, but hydraulic mining.

    Because you don't use cash any longer, no one does..I'm sorry, but I'm the other way around, I prefer to use plastic as little as possible. Why?
    Simply because I have no interest in giving all my shopping habits to banks and credit card institutions. Same with store reward cards that give you a miniscule discount, but allows the stores to know exactly what you are shopping, when you are shopping etc.

    Cash leaves no trails and you spend less when using cash than when using plastic.

  8. Re:Does this suprise anyome? on Oracle Has More Flaws Than SQL Server · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There is cruft in Oracle that dates back to the mid '80s and it's showing.

    Oracle needs a through refactoring. They'll either do it under their own steam or the market will do it for them.
    Well, no not really. There is old code in there, but it is not cruft, but well functioning code. I'm also concerned about Oracle's development practices.What? Can you explain what you mean because I have no idea what you are talking about. Quality is continues to be poor for the first few releases of any new feature. Witness 10g EM; there are .nohup files lurking in (*nix) log directories. I find that astonishing.Huh? What exactly war you talking about? Oracle does not store any files in standard *NIX log directories. ASM won't be suitable for widespread use for two or three releases, 11xR2 or something. That should have been right on try #1 six or seven years ago.

    Completly wrong. Thousands of customers are using ASM today and with great success. Please explain what the heck you are talking about.

    When one consider how many religious people claim that their god can do anything, he can not regrow limbs. Not a single amputee has had their limbs grown back as a result of prayer, even hough the bible say that god will do anything you ask of him.

    Religion == fantasy, science == reality.
