Excuse me, but WTF does Oracle have to do with power companies?

A lot of power companies run Oracle DB, but that's all I've ever seen. I saw one that used Apps for a little while. But once the decision maker went on the her no show job at Oracle, everybody realized just how hard they had just gotten fucked.

1/3 of American power was traded on an Access app (for years). Until we drove a wooden stake through it's heart. Don't laugh Europeans/Australians, I've got bad news for you also.

World average lightening rate is a decent proxy for world temperature and can be measured with a radio. Obviously not an instantaneous measure. It does over-count the high lightening areas (Africa) but is 'simple stupid'.

Thinking they could quickly win a war with America is not the same as not wanting war.

You are equally wrong about Japan wanting to surrender prior to getting nuked. It took two nukes and at that there was an aborted coup (intended to prevent surrender).

'Total yield' is there for all to see. You are a liar who can't admit he is wrong.

Bullshit. Greek finances have been in the crapper sense before the American real estate and banking blowup. The only dirty US player involved was GS helping the Greeks lie to the rest of the Euro group. Their own fault for believing anything GS says.

They all fucked themselves. The volume of bad real estate bonds issued by America pales in comparison to the volume of bad government paper that has crufted up the system for decades. In any case national banks are big boys and are responsible for managing their own risk.

Like the German banks are currently doing with the Greek deadbeats.

You are using an insane definition of 'wage slave'.

Someone who cannot quit their job is a 'wage slave'. They have no choices. You have tons of choices.

You are like the people that keep defining down 'rape'. Stop it.

Slavery is not any state short of the life of Riley. It is a terrible thing and you are not even in the neighborhood. Now quit slacking off on /.

You can't commute to the Bay on $50/day. Maybe with a geo metro and 5 hours a day driving. Amtrack is $40 one way. BART is about $12 round trip.

Such a shit job wouldn't be worth it.

These things (area, population etc) are numbers. They can be manipulated. Added, subtracted, multiplied and divided would be a good place for you to start.

Until you realize that you are wrong, the US is not like Japan and Europe, you will continue to be an abject joke.

You are having this discussion and don't know what an oligopoly is? Seriously?

And in other countries in Europe where the government ran the phone systems it took years and many bribes to get a new line installed.

You don't understand how guns work. Likely learned from 3d shooters.

All time peak fish catch was 1996, 94 million tons. This year 90 million tons.

Got a better example? How about one that isn't wrong?

Bullshit. GS may have help the Greeks hide how bad their system was and got them into the euro but they had nothing to do with building the broken system in the first place.

If your going to blame anyone but the Greeks, blame the Ottomans, they taught the Greeks to do everything via underground economy while ruling them.

Because the hard working Greeks see how it is in Greece and go work somewhere else. Even the Greeks acknowledge this is a big problem.

Go back to reddit grammarian moron.
