Well, I'm going to switch from my old trusted AMD64 3200+ and get me one with 4 cores. Do I need it? Yes, i do. I run numerous testcases on Oracle RDBMS which has no problems utilizing all cores. And it it will reduce the time I spend on each testcase.
Let's see:
China : 1.3 billion
India : 1.1 billion
Russiam : 250 million
Arabic countries : 1.5 billion
Other languages: 500 million
Plus numerous other specialized languages that have extra characters in addition to the 26 used in US, I would say that approx 75% of the worlds population uses characters besides the 26 in US english.
So, not unexpected, you are totally wrong. But what can you expect ogf a person who speaks only 1 language and badly too and have never been outside his homecountry, much less has any knowledge about the world in general.
1) I don't see Oracle as having better/more Linux knowledge than those at RedHat so sell this as "Oracle to compete....Linux Support"? Would you pay an OS vendor for Oracle support?
Well, I guess you don't know how many Linux developers Oracle has in it's employment? Oracle has a lot of OSS software available. They also have numerous kernel developers employed.
2) If I use a database on Linux it is MySQL. I use Oracle on Solaris exclusively. I know it is a technical fallacy but I have to say it, "they go together".
Oracle is develeoped on Linux. In earlier years, Solaris was the development platform and as such all new releases were available on Solaris first. This is not the case anymore. Besides, Oracle DB is divided into 2 parts, 1 is generic and is the same on all platforms. The second is the portspecific portions of the code that has to be adapted to each platform with a new rlelease. This is a fairly small portion of the code. For all practical purposes, it doesn't matter which platform you run it on.
3) If companies have to tweak the OS for their software to run then I tend to shy away from the software.
This is just an insane idea. All OS'es have a standard configuration. However, for some types of applications, it is necessary to increase several kernel parameters in order to use OS features properly. Typically in semphores and shared memory handling and in kernel limits.
Your comments show a very limited understanding of databases and OS'es in general.
I have been working for close to 25 years and have never accepted a position that requires more than 40hrs/week. Any company requiring you to work more, is badly managed and should be avoided at all cost.
Approx 13 million is living in poverty.
Approx 40-50 million is without any form of healthcare.
A larger portion than any 1st world country is incarcerated and the number is climbing every year.
Free speech is Almost free speech
A corrupt political system
An election system that is ridden with fraud
An education system that is so expensive that it excludes a huge part of the people from getting a decent education
The list goes on and on and it is all these things that characterizes a 3rd world country, hence USA has become a 3rd world society.
Ahem.. This is another example of braindead americans who think that the whole world is within their jurisdiction.
A UK company can not be hauled in front of the courts in USA. if you, an American company ro citizen wants to take legal action against a foreign company, it has to be done in the country where the company is a legal entity.
Americans are the dumbest idiots.
Don't forgt to build tests for each bug you fix (or at least for those feasible to do so) and run them in regression testing which should be part of each build prosess.
Not to mention installation testing on all supported platforms and certify your product based on the versions of the various Linux distros tested.

No shit Sherlock!
Why do you think I said it was not useful since it doesn't support any of the tools *I* need to run? geeezz Some people are just not very bright!
Thank you for those kind words, sir. I happen to work for Oracle, so any other database is not an option. You may find that hard to believe but...
Oracle RDBMS
Cisco IP Communicator
Any brand of SQL based tools. Take your pick!
I can't run any of the stuff I need to run under OpenBSD, so why the heck should I even care about it?
It's a specialized OS for an extremely small minority of users. What a waste of resources...
Let's see:
China : 1.3 billion
India : 1.1 billion
Russiam : 250 million Arabic countries : 1.5 billion
Other languages: 500 million

Naah... I'm still trying to earn a living...
I'll take the job as long as it pays in the 6 figures, else... yawn...

You mean like:
Tetrapods:
Panderichthys, Sauripterus, Elginerpeton, Obruchevichthys, Hynerpeton, Densignathus rowei, Ichthyostega, Acanthostega and Pederpes finneyae, Tulerpeton, Elpistostege, Tiktaalik roseae.
Land to air: birds, perhaps?
Eoraptor, Herrerasaurus, Ceratosaurus, Allosaurus, Compsognathus, Sinosauropteryx, Protarchaeopteryx, Caudipteryx, Velociraptor, Sinovenator, Beipiaosaurus, Sinornithosaurus, Microraptor, Rahonavis, Confuciusornis, Sinornis, Patagopteryx, Hesperornis, Apsaravis and Ichthyornis.
Nonono... It's KillBillix!!!
Speak for yourself!

Censoring tits but overflows in real killings.
USA is indeed a strange country!
K!
You are all wrong!
God did it and the bible clearly says so.
Just another example of how USA has become a 1st world economy and a 3rd world society.
Lol...
Stop the religious delirium and come and chat with us over at www.infidels.org, but you have to bring more than preaching...
LOL!
How old is it then? 6000 years or so?
Stop drinking the koolaid!
Yes, 3rd world.
Approx 13 million is living in poverty.
Approx 40-50 million is without any form of healthcare.

Oops, my bad, I meant for 30Mb... A ridiculous price compared to other countries. This is nothing but robbery!
I just looked at Verizons page and found that they charge you $180 for 15Mb!
With a pricing like that, they can stuff FiOS where the the bad smell comes from!
Why do you hate USA so much?
After living in USA for the past decade, I have come to the conclusion that USA is a 1st world economy but a 3rd world society.
By taking core samples of ice in the artic and antartic and then measure various levels of different things like CO2, N etc..
Not understanding how it was done does not equal that the research is flawed.
