Cute. :)

According to Oracle's version of history, it is--and indeed should be--sequel. I'm bigoted along with them, and look down on the es queue ellers.

What's funny is, you can tell based on grammar. Oracle uses "a SQL statement". IBM uses "an SQL statement". Which means that Oracle considers IBM to be incorrect about their own invention.

Wouldn't be the first time. :)

    According to Oracle

    Let me stop you right there. Any company that will counter sue on the basis that they only disseminated false rumours that their competitor HP, was imminently going to drop support for the Itanium processor, because they weren't party to a private agreement whereby HP are actually paying Intel to continue producing it!

    Is 'revisionist futurism' an oxymoron? :)


    With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
    Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
    "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
    In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

    The start of some sanity?
