I am in no way a fan of Oracle but, c'mon, that's a little over the top, don't you think?

- qaq 11y agoReminds me of a talk by Bryan Cantrill he talked a bit (I am paraphrasing) that he didn't believe that people could be purely evil and when looking into Larry Ellisson he actually discovered he donated several hundred mil. to a nonprofit (dedicated to prolonging human life). On closer look it turned the sole purpose of that nonprofit was working on prolonging life of one particular human namely Larry Ellisson. (while writing off the donation from taxes to boot :).

- cellularmitosis 11y agoBryan Cantrill has a very hyperactive delivery when giving a talk. Personally, I love it, though it isn't for everyone. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=bryan+cantrill https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=bryan+cantrill
- ryanobjc 11y agoA silicon valley amateur radio club recently moved their study and test sessions from Oracle to Google, because Oracle changed their non-profit rate to $2000/day for a room. Google doesn't charge as long as a contact employee takes responsibility for the meeting. So yeah, Oracle, evil to the core.
- chillydawg 11y agoWait, Oracle are charging for access to their private offices and that's evil? I'm not sure I understand?
- cwbrandsma 11y agoAbsolutely a bit over the top (I have friends that are oracle consultants). But I still don't trust Oracle from a business practices level.
