Xi's China must be recalculating Taiwan

#13  I spent a big part of my career working with the Oracle database. I always thought it was superb. Some of their other software was half baked to say the least but the database is extremely powerful.

#8  Most Oracle customers bought it for the various add-ons and third-party service organizations behind it. Most of them are very big but not particularly interested in a "roll your own" approach to much if any of their IT activity.

#3  An Oracle customer is liberated from the shittiest software made by the nastiest most dishonest major tech company on earth -- and that's supposed to be a punishment?
