Interesting story, was it a hardware failure that caused the loss, or was it Windows deciding to wipe them? Apologies if I'm missing something obvious disks are also much more succeptible to vibrations than tape. the only thing is that

maybe there is some ego contributing to the situation, either from Hurd and his executive team, Safra and her finance metric counters, or a board member... but I don't they do these things on an exclusively personal and egotistical lev

i agree with you on this, surprisingly posts on this site are a bit durable (a few days at the top pages?), so the urgency of commenting with a new account isn't as severe as something like 4chan I think if my opinion was truly valued

Yes, you are exactly right, they do it expressly for this reason. All of my experience and data shows that not only is it more cost effective for Oracle to litigate against its employees than it is to just pay them as per a fair and sensibl

it's a shame that HDDs fail/lose integrity so much more quickly than tape cartridges used in an equivalent manner :( but if you put them on a shelf, then the life is roughly the same :D

I don't know this sales rep and I haven't looked up her online presence, but I would say it's unlikely oracle made her sign an NDA or non compete, even at her position (field sales on a key account i think? which is as high a

it was a bit frustrating to deal with because it was actually rate limited by IP, and after only what, maybe 5-6 posts in a 30 min period but i guess it isn't really a big deal because i am able to post now and at least i have a throwa

yes, this poster is right, we all make 80-120k out of college and for many of us, it was the best and only offer we received since we are wholly unqualified for most any other job of that $$$ the system is archicted such that we are either

yes i would say that is correct. oracle (we) make most of our money from the fortune 500, and specifically oracle database SUPPORT CONTRACTS from those companies since then we have not been too good at innovating, so we buy companies techno

made an account just to comment. i'm a sales guy at oracle and this case is absolutely common at the company. i am not surprised that oracle used our sales contract (which is stuffed full of every self serving rule under the sun and ch
