Re: Blaming Oracle? Database is only as available as the platform its running on
You never blame the database first.
Blame goes "It's the Network", then "It's the Storage", then "It's Virtualisation", and fianlly, if there's really enough push from on high "It's the sh**y code running the database"
It's infrastructures fauilt, it has always been the way....

I once found my boradband had completly stopped working, no adsl signal on the line at all. After numerious calls to their hell desk, messing about with the master socket and pleading with it to be escollated, I finally got through to somone who would tell me the problem.

Train depot fun
I worked for a train maintenance firm for a while, some of their on-site support calls were interesting to say the least.

Re: "Absolutely no one can make sense of the United States' infatuation with firearms."
When it comes to guns, I think the late Bill Hicks encapsulated the entire issue:-
"In the USA, where we love guns, there were 23000 deaths from Guns last year.
In the UK, where nobody has guns, there were fffffffffourteen. 14.
Now let me run through those numbers again, because they're a little baffling at first glance
In the USA, where we love guns, 23000. In the UK, where NOBODY has guns, 14.
BUT there's NO connection (and you'd be a fool & a communist to think that there is) between having a gun then killing someone, and NOT having a gun and NOT killing anyone with it.

Everyone agrees that phones aren't allowed inside the click, including staf. Prisionors will always try to smuggle them in becasue, well, they are useful
So why not install jammers around the building, making them useless? I'm sure there's an obvious reason that I'm missing....

Apple must help Feds unlock San Bernardino killer's iPhone – judge
Asking the wrong questions
Why demand access to the device at all? Apple are quite right to say the phone is someone else propery, and so they can't unlock it without permission (shame they forget this when the user repairs the screen....) BUT
All the data the FBI want will proably be uploaded to iCloud. So the FBI should demand access to Apple's servers. Sorted.
