To illustrate my meaning, try thinking of an example where an officer observing something would likely not cause as big of an uproar as leaked video footage.
Rodney King if the stupid thugs who beat him up had remembered their hoodies.
I'm cautiously optimistic over this buyout which could turn out to be very inspired depending on what decisions are taken next by Oracle.
Hopefully Larry will "cut the OO.org ribbon" (or at least ensure it's entirely optional) for a start!, then rapidly pour Oracle's expertise and bucks to turn OO.org Base into a viable MS Access killer (utilising MySQL as the engine) - this will require a way to convert MS Access-based applications as seamlessly as possible and could be done very quickly with the resources available to Oracle.
Messing with any of Java / OO.org / Virtual Box / MySQL (either by damaging them, ignoring them or charging for them) would be counter-productive and merely alienate consumers and the FLOSS community et al.
Solaris should be allowed to die a peaceful death by being offered up for [further] incorporation into GNU / Linux along with ZFS technologies.
This way Oracle can keep MSFT in the trenches at the "low-end" (i.e., severely knock MSFT's revenue) whilst maintaining good relations with customers and the open source community and use the lull to engage fully in the cloud with e.g., Google and IBM. As use of MS Office declines, Oracle will then be in a strong position to take out MS SQL Server. Firm Oracle support for ODF would be nice too.
Tough choice for NASA:
Use MS Excel 2040 and end up a million km off course or use Linux and have the sail get where it's supposed to be for 1st January 1972. Simples!
So, you're saying that because the media companies won't "be losing so much to pirates" should this law pass they can then "afford" to sell CDs for less in the shops?
Of course, if CDs were cheaper in the shops, people would likely be much less inclined to pirate them in the first place...

This problem was solved years ago by millions of UK 80s kids carrying out large scale research much to the dismay of kitchen moms and to the delight of cutlery manufacturers. Yuri Geller has a lot to answer for except in Sheffield where he's supposedly more popular than the Queen.
The first edition, which is the version most easily available for download, was published in 1985 and the last of four editions (edited by Steve Gold) appeared in 1989. In 1990 the UK Parliament passed the Computer Misuse Act - publication of additional editions would likely have been considered an incitement to commit an offence under that Act.
So if I download the freely available online version(s) I'm potentially committing an offence by "re-publishing" "The Hacker's Handbook" but if I borrow the (real, physical) book(s) from my local library (which actually does have some copies of it), then that's fine?
So when you fire it there is no guarantee you will hit what you are aiming at even IF you aim dead on.

After sleeping off a 120 year dehydrated hangover caused by a pissed Victorian scientist dunking him in ethanol the tardigrade awoke to find itself in a tunnel. He just had time to read the sign on the wall saying "Safer outside - LHC Safety Committee" before coming under attack in both directions from proton streams. Luckily, since tardigrade reflexes exceed the speed of light he was able escape via. the mini-black hole which was about to formed before it had. Such are the paradoxes of the tardigrade. Curiously the mice later informed him that human scientists had reported him dead as he carried out their hair-dressing in the new salon he had opened 65 million years ago after buying some cheap property on mouse-world since his timely escape.

Not sure what Apple would make of all this but we could always ask Larry's official wedding photographer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Ellison
That was the draft - fortunately his PA is paid more than $1 per annum.
is there anything that you can name that can do more than Linux?
No - even my mum admits that she required a third-party extension to instantiate me.
