A meeting betwixt SUN and RedHat:

SunGuy: Before we begin with all that Java licensing crap, please come over here and sign this document.
ShadowMan: What am I signing? If it's about our agreem-
SunGuy: NOPE! Don't worry, you'll really love this. Oh, and give me an American one dollar bill, too, k?
ShadowMan: K...*signs and forks over the $1* Now, WTF is going on here?
SunGuy*BigEvilGrin*: We just gave you a sub-license to our UNIX intellectual property for the sum of one dollar.
ShadowMan*BiggerEvilerGrin*: Really?!? Heh, "Fuck you verrry much, SCO"! Dude, that's just too much good work for one morning - LUNCH TIME!

Wasn't it a well established fact that Except for SCO, none of the primary UNIX vendors ever developed a UNIX "flavor" to operate on an Intel-based processor chip set. [sco.com]

And people don't need Oracle databases. Most of the free SQL flavors work just fine, thank you.

Give me PostgreSQL or MySQL any day over Oracle crap

Let me guess... you're 18 and haven't had your "introduction to Relation Databases" class yet, right? Kid, go away, you're bothering me.
