My first computer was an Apple ][ with two 8" floppies and a Z80 CP/M co-processor. The computer never booted AppleDOS (or whatever it was called) while I owned it. It was 100% CP/M.

Attached to: Texas Family Awarded $2.9 Million In Fracking Lawsuit
I have eight (8) fracked gas wells less than 300ft from my house. I get nose bleeds all the time. I’m going to sue the hell out of the bastards!!! (nevermind my nose bleeds are due to allergies did I say that outloud???)
I don’t know how many of y’all have been to Texas but the wind is blowing constantly. Any emissions from these wells are well down the highway seconds after being released. The thought that they will linger enough to cause these health issues is ridiculous. More likely they are being affected by the dust kicked up by all the water trucks that come in and out taking away the water overflow from these wells. Instead of sueing the well owners in a 2-mile radius they need to go after the well owners 20-miles upwind...
The award will not survive appeal.

Oracle should accept some losses and quietly make an amiable-as-possible exit. Why air dirty laundry about clients? Even if the State is partly to blame, being a loud asshole makes you less likely to get future gov't contracts.
