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"

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.

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.
