RE: Don't know what's wrong with Oracle...
I've used Oracle in the past and when it comes to the Big4 (Oracle, Sybase, MSSQL, DB/2) it would be the product of choise for me, with DB/2 a good second.
But then I'm no DBA but a programmer writing code against the thing and the most interaction I have with the product itself is executing some queries and DDL statements against it or maybe inputting a stored procedure or two.But for most solutions they're all overkill, and something smaller and cheaper like Interbase/Firebird is all that's needed.
Cheaper, requiring a lot less hardware, and fast. -
RE: Notes
Or this one from the Interface hall of shame: http://homepage.mac.com/bradster/iarchitect/lotus.htm
We wish we found IBM's Lotus Notes a long time ago. This single application could have formed the basis for the entire site. The interface is so problematic, one might reasonably conclude that the designers had previously visited this site, and misread "Hall of Shame" as "Hall of Fame". Lotus Notes 4.6 contains almost every example of inefficient design illustrated thoughout the entire Hall of Shame site.
What follows is an introductory collection of some of the myriad of problems with the application. As we fortunately no longer use Notes, we encourage you to let us know which aspects of Lotus Notes have caused you difficulty. Of course, we recognize that some visitors may disagree with our assessment of particular features of the application, and we invite your feedback. Comments can be sent to feedback@iarchitect.com.

Pretty sure you could also just click cancel as this wasnt a logon for the pc, it was network credentials - not mandatory.
yes, this dialog would pop up when connecting to a network after you'd already logged on to the PC and got to the desktop.

RE: Increase your lifetime warranty
it's indeed a scam. These plans aren't warranty at all, they're an insurance policy and have all the limits and restrictions of those as compared to a warranty plan. Also, depending on your jurisdiction, you might actually by law have warranty far exceeding what the warranty card that came with your product tells you you have. And for those things where it does appear worthwhile, the seller knows quite well that
a) the vast majority of users will never have a valid claim (because the product is highly unlikely to develop a covered flaw before the "extended warranty" runs ou),
b) the vast majority of people buying it will forget about having the coverage and/or lose the paperwork needed to actually make a claim and
c) they unscrupulous ones count on the company issueing the coverage going out of business before any claims are likely to be issued (self liquidation, and just starting a new company every other year or so, or just economic reality, the one time I had such a plan the store I'd bought it was out of business when the product failed years later, there was no way to get it replaced)

Why do people talk like that on IRC? Just give me one message with everything, don't give it to me in 4 word increments.
I don't know.

Of course with current PDAs and EEEEEEEEEEEE PCs that time has returned. -

RE: Welcome to DBA chaos.
there are female DBA?
If there are, I've never met any that admitted to being one.
No, let's just say I have a lot of experience dealing with DBAs and all but 2 of them were indeed session killing backup monkeys.

Well I'm not interested in making Oracle my lover. I'm interested in making Oracle my slave. :)The problem with Oracle people is we hate you more than we hate Oracle... Quite simple... :) Enjoy
Better creatures have tried and failed. All ended up being enslaved by the Oracle instead. Submit now and spare yourself the pain of forced induction by accepting your fate and the voluntary indoctrination program instead.

think you will see that everywhere, no matter what language.
I'm not really surprised about this fact... but the problem is, I'm having a hard time figuring out what "stacks" people acutally use. No one writes a blog post that says, "we just use Tomcat, Servlets, and JSP".
not surprising as it's not easy to answer.
We run many projects, and the actual stack depends on the project requirements. WebLogic, OC4J, JBoss, WebSphere, we use it all. Struts, Spring, JSP, ADF, bring it on. JDeveloper, Eclipse, IntelliJ, Netbeans, you name it. ANT, Maven? Subversion, Visual Sourcesafe, CVS.
But rarely will all that take place inside the scope of a single project.We tried last year to come up with a 'standard stack' that would be the recommended basis for new projects but gave up on the idea as the diversity of projects we run is just too great.
