Ellison here is our Middle Finger

Ellison here is our Middle Finger - You aren't the only option available to developers. You axed Jobs, You axed OpenSolaris - no one needs your Linux Spinoff of RedHat, Now it is a pity you are going after Java. So what was the reason for buying Sun, to turn a profit by improving the innovative products already available or try to push your useless services on to a market segment that don't give a flying jack nor use for them! Hey the Board needs to replace Ellison!

i Fought Back

i would get random IP spoof attacks trying to figure out where my phpmyadmin install was on my server. So I wrote a drupal plugin that intercepted the url request and forwarded the attack off to the FBI tips website. My guess is they thought they had hit the jack pot only to figure out they were being reported, I haven't seen an attack since then.

Half of these patents need tossing out!

Half of these patents need tossing out since they no longer fit the time when innovation was in its infancy but has pretty much became the standard pushed onto developers by the very same software retailer... It's like being setup for a take down. psst "My my development suite with all these cool features but i'll sue you if you do this and i'll sue you if you try that!!"

itemize billing

Itemize billing justifies the usage of the white space on the bill - paper wastage... different house numbers where heck do you live? using the scenario of 51 and 51A in a housing development could also mean two separate houses or lots but for some reason due to may be zoning or the sub dividing of the lot two houses built on the same property.

Too bad continue...

You are right - the bundle practice is a breach of contract and very much more so privacy. What if you live in a rented house upstairs and tenants downstairs all sharing the same postal address, to Rogers you are all at the address they will bundle address! Rogers failed to acknowledge the fact that the names on the accounts are different and that should have stopped the process from starting based on privacy and the privacy laws of Canada.

That was back in the Day

The IBM mainframes are nothing but now over glorified Power (PC) based systems which now run C/C++, RPG, & CrapBol and the nice modern day subsystems Apache, Java and PHP along side the old soon to be dead IMS, CICS, & TSO. So the way i see it you're soon out of a job. Oh i remember those days VSE/ESA & CICS with a little power and VTAM but you can run all of that now on any PC with a copy of Hercules.

The Banks Fault!

Years ago Banks employed in house programmers before going for off the shelf products. With privacy a big issue it is time banks either go back to hiring in house programming teams or buy out the software companies they do business with and lock the code down!

Microsoft was built on the blood of VMS

When MicroCrooks took VMS operating system and hacked it up and turned it into WinNT 3.0 they weren't thinking about patents nor copyrights (they were unrightfully copying). VMS -> WinNT push each letter of VMS down one and you get WinNT.

IBM is pretty much pricing themselves out of business.

IBM is pretty much pricing themselves out of business. Why would i buy an eight cylinder car and be allow to only use one cylinder. You can pretty much any decent x86_64 system for peanuts with the same number of cores as their low config and still survive. IBM has gotten a bit too big for themselves forgetting the small businesses in the process.
