then again I too have my own bias which tends to favor the side of open source software, free use, open access science, etc. because i think that society as a whole can benefit a lot and more quickly if people are freely able to use what others have done, but that's getting a little bit beyond the issues of this one specific case

that's a fair point, but on the other hand google's name sounds like the name of a really really big number, and usually big numbers win out over smaller ones IME

On one hand, Oracle was the cool lady in the matrix, so you have to take that into account.

On the minus side, in Matrix revolution, the oracle turned into dr. smith, who was evil.

i'd say the plus outweighs the minus, mostly because the matrix revolution was dubiously canonical.

I think we should debate something much more pertinent: what is the purpose of byob when fyad exists.

Also, Oracle employs Mary Ann Davidson, who is a toxic person and shouldn't be in charge of the security of a weather station let alone CSO of anything.

I think that ultimately comes down to the Smith/Saint-Simon dichotomy of cooperation vs. competition as the driving factors of economic productivity. I don't think Oracle is really doing either; they obviously aren't willing to cooperate, but by keeping their product largely stagnant and relying on mounds of litigation to ward off competitors, they're not really actively competing, either.

this is fair.

now that i think about it, oracle may not be very good at prognosticating, because it's hard to predict a scenario in which google doesn't have all our brains retrofitted to blindly follow orders and work well with their smart cars.

if you mix wine with cola you get "kalimotxo", which is popular in spain for youth street gatherings

Delphi is by Borland, though, and based on Pascal and not Java?

Ice cream bars are generally a good thing, and sigs are by no means mandatory.

I think Oracle should Google IBM, but I'm more agnostic about the whole court thing because java is something I'm forced to endure because programmers like it so much.
