    i don't know anyone desperate enough to tap that ash.

    Money, no. Human rights, yes.
    Maybe that's my cultural divide.

  3. Re:Isn't it a bit ironic... on Oracle Switching To Linux · · Score: 1

    Oracle is pretty well know for being rock solid IF you know what you're doing with it. Consider, for a moment, how many man/years have gone into the devopement of this product, how many other products (rdb, for example) have been integrated in and overall, how mature of a product it is. Then consider who's running it right now; who has been running it for eons (folks who can't afford to have their "databases simply go away"). Then consider what you're comparing it to. Seems a little naive, yes?

    Oh yeah, try finding any experienced mysql and pgs dba's in the market at the moment. Free software but no one to support it ...

  4. let's think about this for a moment ... on Nike: Just Don't Do It · · Score: 1

    1. By this brilliant social engineer's statements, we know that actual human's look at submissions that are not rejected outright. What does this tell us? That 'slipping' a catchy little phrase or bit of leet-speak by a jsp (and actually buying a pair of shoes in the process *hehe*) will only get it rejected within 24 hours.

    2. Words that weren't rejected outright before (like swetshop and fucknike) now are - what does this tell us? Once a word is rejected by review, the 'wizard' starts rejecting it. Given that, what are the chances that the folks at nike are going to chance the size of their text field based on a word (sweatshop) that's probably been added to some sort of kill list? It MUST be a conspiracy to keep down us clever little rabble rousers from buying shoes with dirty words on them!! um, yeah right ....

    It's amazing what bubbles to the top of these threads ...
