I've got to dig through my 1980 vintage school work, I'm sure I got
that as a crappy black-and-white copy with about half those frames.



Yup, this is definitely an enhanced version.
Probably made by a j2ee development team? :-)
Still funny, though!

Narh. More like total lack of patience to put up with Oracle

Oh, here's why I didn't get the email:

"You are receiving this email because you are a My Oracle Support user
who has recently logged into the HTML-based interface. " Fine print
at the bottom: http://www.oracle.com/us/dm/10003530...m-1430133.html

That's what I get for being a good 2.0 and using the flash version.
Where "flash" is a synonym for "vomit."

As a regular user of the current flash based Support and Community
environments I note that the current flash version is much faster than
the initial release and now provides multiple posting font types and
sizes. The initial log on is still too slow but at least it does not
hang on a regular basis like in the early days.

Now if the support team could just fix the search feature by properly
identifing the correct key words for the aricles and notes that
support produces!

Mark, you do an amazing job in all the communities you participate
in. I find it tough to go back to something that has repeatedly
dinged me, so I'm on the flash support every day, but hardly ever even
look at the communities.

They definitely could do better about allowing users to set some
global search parameters so we could avoid all the newfangled stuff
that's been merged in. When it gives a filtering popup, it makes me
choose an edition, when I just want to filter to Oracle db hits, which
I find kind of silly.

....

It only hangs up for me once or twice a month ... is that supposed to
be good enough?

Flash is a security hazard as is across multiple platforms ... but we
should trust Oracle that their site won't get compromised right?

Oh man! I had someone from EMC tell me that I had to uncompress my
rman backups so their dedupe nonsense could handle the files.
According to their "expert", dedupe of 1TB every night across the
network is faster and safer than simply backing up 100GB compressed
every night and throwing the weeklies away at the end of the month.
I told him something along the lines of "in a pig's arse I'll
uncompress my backups!" and it worked. So far. I'm sure they'll come
back to harass me in 2012. Ah well: I'll just have to use a bigger
stick...

Never been a fan of EMC at all... The old DEC (now HP) storage works
EVA series ran circles around it....
In the past I have been stuck waiting on SAN allocations because EMC
took 4 DAYS to merge in a new disk into a disk group due to disk
failure.
