Coat hangers and duct tape...

Is there anything they can't do?

My Oracle Support

Even after all of the forewarning, blog posts, etc., I have not yet heard a simple explanation to my biggest question.

Why, with all of Oracle's software acquisistions, holdings, and developers, was Oracle unable to create a new support site with Oracle software? Is a support site so difficult to create and maintain that Oracle's very own software can't handle it? And look at what it has brought to Oracle. Oracle is becoming the laughing-stock of the software world at this very minute, with articles of the support woes circulating the web and showing up in the media.

If Uncle Larry hears of this fiasco, it sure seems that heads will roll, but hey, at least the interface (that always freezes) is pretty to look at.

phone support still works

I was able to connect to a service technician via phone support, so this is not quite as dire as some have posted.

Pick up the phone, get in the queue.

child porn malware's evil (what it can do)

He was framed by his stepdaughters father the jury being mostly non computer users would not believe him because the procecuter claimed he was an expert at computers which he is not just because his job was using computers and programing. We have spent well over 100 thousand. We need support and the govenor to know what can happen to inocent people just because he looked at adult porn does not make anyone a pedophile. please help it ruined our lifes and his and his family. mom

Why OS X's "UAC" is not an issue

Apple's "UAC" is an occasional requirement for a password (not just a Cancel/Allow button) which is designed to pop up when software is being installed, more specifically, software which could affect more than just that individual's user account.

Since entering a password is something that happens infrequently, and usually while a user is consciously installing a program, seeing the "UAC" during normal operations is indeed a true warning.

It's something to pay attention to, not something to complain about.
