I despise oracle as much as the next guy. But they really haven't done a bad job with java. Incremental improvements yes. But not bad improvements. And their databases are quite nice if you have money to waste.

It's just everything else they do other than java and databases that is horrible.

Why can't people just say "INTERNET EXPLODERER"? "Browsers" *don't* do things differently in any meaningful way. But the rectal juice that is "INTERNET EXPLODERER" does. Just say it.

Bad shit has been going on since the very beginning. But generally it felt like, at least on the important things, we were getting better.

Copyrights don't expire anymore. This is necessary so that great writers like Tolkien are incentivized to keep writing more books. It also prevents anybody from making Mickey Mouse porn.

Horse shit. If I randomly assign nicknames to people. Truly random. And your nickname happens to end up as "mother fucking ass pony with open herpes sores." Is that a misunderstanding? No because it was random. And I had no ill intent since it was random. But you're still stuck with an offensive nickname.
