Bryan Cantrill gave the most wonderful rant on Oracle/Ellison at LISA XXV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zRN7XLCRhc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zRN7XLCRhc (rant starts at 33:00)
Two gems from the rant are, "You actually don't need to be open-minded about Oracle," and "Don't anthropomorphize the lawnmower."
- nickpsecurity 10y agoThat was great. Moreover, it gave me an idea. Oracle has been going after Android in patent suits. Joyent had patents on Solaris-based technology for cloud-style stuff Oracle might be interested in. Joyent was acquired by Samsung, a major Android vendor. I wonder if part of Samsung's motivation was countering Oracle with the I.P. Joyent had.
