I find it amusing and really sad that the world is about to end because a person looked at *gasp* porn! I'm sure if he had been looking for weapons, chemicals, nuclear devices etc nobody would have bothered him. USA - land of prudes!
Based on crap like this I can say that I will not buy the Xbox no matter how much better it turns to be than lets say PS/3. There is no way I want to support anything like this. So until Sony does something similar, all my money will go to them.
They've been a zombie since they started down this path.
It's really sad, I used SCO products in the late 80's/early 90's for some projects and it worked fine and was pretty cheap (compared to other similar products). SCO != old-school SCO.
When was the last time you saw a commercial on TV for Linux? Microsoft?
Call marketing whatever you want, but further adoption of Linux has everything to do with marketing. The moment people start seeing commercials all over the place for Linux, it will spread.
Geeks have no function in the next step in Linux adoption, the marketroids have that task ahead of them. if this does not happen, Linux will forever stay a niche product, a nice one, but still a niche product in the same class as OSX. Pretty but useless on big scale.
I'm sorry but you are way off the mark here. I'm sorry that you don't know your job, but don't blame Oracle for your own incompetency.
Using streams replication there is not limit (practically) on the number of servers to replicate to.
Restore and recover takes a long time? Use archivelog mode, unless you have physical corruption that spans multiple disks, there is no need to restore the whole database. restore the corrupt file and roll forward. Unless your last backup of the file was months ago, the operation is done in minutes. Please don't spread stupid remarks that have no foothold in reality. L:earn to use the product rather than display your own ignorance.
Oracle Dataguard has nothing to do with replication. Oracle Data Guard ensures high availability, data protection, and disaster recovery for enterprise data. Data Guard provides a comprehensive set of services that create, maintain, manage, and monitor one or more standby databases to enable production Oracle databases to survive disasters and data corruptions.
Starting a database is simple: sqlplus "/ as sysdba"; startup... How difficult is that?
I don't mind critique of Oracle, but at least get your facts straight!
I know that Oracle takes al security issues very seriously. All bugs related to security issues are treated special and gets the attention needed. Some of the bugs are inherintly complex and touches many areas.
The Oracle database is probably one of the most complex pieces of software anyone will ever come in contact with. The source code is extremly complex. The implications of bugs can be enormous (imagine you withdraw $100 from an ATM but due to a bug, you account is showing $1000 witdrawal) or the space shuttle all of a sudden don't have access to data necessary for the return flight back to earth, etc) Companies who use Oracle in a production system don't automatically apply all the latest patches without extensive testing on their testserver before scehduling it for aplication to production, very often a time cinsuming process. In addition to fixing security bugs and releasing security patch bundles on a 3 month basis, Oracle also releases general patchsets from time to time (example: 10g was first released as 10.1.0.2 and then 10.1.0.3 and now 10.1.0.4 in addition to the security patches)
Creating and testing security patches for a database such as Oracle is far more complex and timeconsuming than doing the same for an OS like let's say Windows.
As a game playing parent in my 40's I seriously offended by this article!:)
Games are like everything else, some are good, some are suitable for young kids, some for adults. As long as the game is properly marked without any surprises (porn in San Andreas is not considered a surprise in this type of game IMHO).
Games are not all evil, the problem is more related people spending too much time on games than on other activities that I see as a bigger problem, combine it with obesity to top it off!
legislation and politicians who don't give a shit about people, and will do anything they can to screw you over? I mean, time and time again, i see how normal people are trampled upon daily by corporations and yet people bend over and drop their pants to the tune of companies cashregisters.
And before anyone starts talking about anti-Americanism etc, I live in this country and see these things on a daily basis. America is the country I know which has the least protection of it's people and the greatest protection of it's corporations. Not only that, but politicians are supporting companies rights to screw people through their actions and bribery. Find a politician not in the pockets of a corporation and you'll see a one-term politician. It's disgusting. I'm all for corporations beeing able to make money and develop, but not at all cost as it is here.
I honestly chuckled when I read the article. Not that I hate MS in any ways, in fact I dual boot and tend to use Windows more than linux due to work. But honestlt, did ANYONE really believe that the next product out of MS would be ANY safer than previous products? I know that is what MS themselves claim they are focusing on, security that is, but with their trackrecord, I'd be surprised if we see less than 250 viruses over the first year or so after they release Vista.
Anyhow, Vista is a product that will never get close to my PC anyway. XP will be the last MS product to find their way to my harddrives. The more I read about Vista, the more convinced I become in regards to how this product is designed to lock you down and let everyone else but you control how YOUR PC work at all time.
Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe (CTMU) - a theory of reality developed in the mid-1980's by Christopher Michael Langan. [Who has a 1 in 1,000,000+ IQ verified on multiple occasions, and was President of the most exclusive IQ club, the Mega Society. He spent 20+ years as a bar bouncer in Long Island and can just about bench-press his Harley.]
I generally am very receptive to theories about the Universe, evolution etc from a guy with a HUGE IQ and a job as a BAR BOUNCER! geeezzz...
ID is only a set of apologies for why you can not interpret genesis literally. It's a "made up" idea that came forward when the scientific amount of evidence for evolution became so overwhelmingly huge that certain proponents of creationism understood that the old 6-day, 6000 year old created Earth did not fly. As a result they created a mix consisting of elements from pure creationism with some toothless "scientific" babble.
I'd be willing to pay $1,000,000 to anyone who can come up with scientific evidence for ID that will stand scientific peer-review. Any takers?
Me and my wifey are swingers and have been to many many "gang bangs" as you describe them. It's totally normal to us and a lot of fun. How many married men get to bonk beutiful women without fearing the repercussions?
Any idea what the (D-...) stands for in "Senator Tom Carper (D-Del)"
The only difference between Democrats and Republicans is the name. Two sides of the same crap. US politics is a fantasy based on two nonexistent ideologies. You can choose between far-right and right.
I always follow the launch until about 10 -15 sec after clearing the tower on TV, then switch to watching it live. Didn't have the chance to go out to Titusville today, but i always try to do that when there is a night launch. That is the most amazing thing you'll ever see.
Ain't that the truth?
I was watching "48 hours" the other day. A program about real homicide investigations, they showed the corpses laying around with brain-mass splattered around after a gun shot wound to the head, yet they blurred the tits.... Go figure!

within a few days of the release there will be numerous torrents for it. Any takers?
is lack of marketing.

Gitmo is a concentration camp. Check the definition of a concentration camp in any dictionary.
It's not called a concentration camp because it's by USA and the name sounds nazi, yet Gitmo IS a concentration camp per definition.

I live smack dab in the middle of Florida. And what do you mean? Limiting what your employees can do outside work is part of American freedom? Wow!
Amazing that anyone really utter such crap as yourself.
Another example of "American Freedom" and "The Land of the Free". Geeezz..

There is only one type of football...
The other should be called American Handoval or something equally silly.... It has nothing to do with football....
I saw the launch from my living room window.
I always follow the launch until about 10 -15 sec after clearing the tower on TV, then switch to watching it live. Didn't have the chance to go out to Titusville today, but i always try to do that when there is a night launch. That is the most amazing thing you'll ever see.
Hmmm.. Interesting... I got:
Score: 125207
Rank: 4752
Probably stems from the fact that we use aim intensively at work.
What I'm hinting at is this quote from him "I did what I was told to do. I did it to the best of my ability."
That was the standard defence from nazis after WWII and Nueremberg tribunal did not accept it then either, so why should we accept such bullshit now?
A year before Win95? LOL
I was on the Beta team back in 88/89... I guess your parents were still virgins back then....
I stopped reading when I understood it was a cartoon game with Japanese schoolgirls. What crap...
Ain't that the truth?
I was watching "48 hours" the other day. A program about real homicide investigations, they showed the corpses laying around with brain-mass splattered around after a gun shot wound to the head, yet they blurred the tits.... Go figure!
And your eye-roll cracked me up....
