Nope, he was using the Lowtax alias since the late 90s at least. That's what we went by back in his PlanetQuake days.

Microsoft even tried to make their own buggy version called J++ and Sun Microsystems did not care about "code copying" .. but did sue them for trademark infringement only (because Microsoft's version was so buggy it tarnished the reputation of Java).

Didn't this "buggy" version of MS's JVM lay the groundwork for the .NET CLR though, which is typically regarded as pretty good if you have to use a MS ecosystem?

on Solaris you didn't format partitions for Oracle, you left them raw, and the database managed partitioning and formatting of drives to its own design, optimized for performance.

Isn't this true on Linux as well if you use ASM for the database data volumes?
