Oracle's mega-patch shuts 101 doors

We'll never know of course since we're talking about a black box.

Finally, something that we agree with ;-)

Oracle touts it's self to be the premier heavy duty extendable database for Business Enterprise. We have no Idea how long these holes have existed in the system. I saw nothing indicating exactly what has been patched, and, we have no idea how many more bugs and holes still exist.

Oh yeah, that's the database I want in my business. Truly 'Enterprise worthy'...

jimf,

While I'm glad we agree with regards to Oracle's bits, I'm not sure you fully understand that this "black box" scenario applies to all software that is non-free. Perhaps I'm wrong but I tend to think you'd stop using non-free wares all together if you understood that the freedom to scrutinize is fundamental to the success of the human experiment.

> Perhaps I'm wrong

You are, just leave it there ;-)

And for a moment I thought that we had achieved the impossible.. the Unstoppable Force and the Immovable Object agreed on something (Looking outside for raining of frogs)..

;-)

Look again, they're probably falling now :D
