Those slim, bloody sharp, sheet metal masters of destruction which are supposed to be installed to cover empty PCI slots. Why can't those be made of a non-sharp edged plastic?
The most annoying element is the propensity of these metal missiles to miss the retaining slot in the sheet metal case and disappear under the motherboard. Or other mischief.
Their most annoying feature is the ability to get lost and not be reinstalled back to cover an empty slot. Thus providing entryway to a warm and protected housing location for mice, crickets, small snakes, cockroaches, spiders, and other heat seaking organic equipment failure implementers.

Pobox.com also provides Domain registration, email hosting with your domain(s), and DNS web redirection. Been using them for 18 years; good stuff.

Then you haven't been trying hard enough. Any organization with even a hint of unique internal business processes requires modification of the init system.

What you call a fault in the system is constitutionally known as separation of powers/ checks and balances. The system is working as designed; and working well. Join the debate instead of looking for non-existant flaws to repair.

Not if Zeus pleased her more. Those old gods really were quite incestuous.

Yes, they wanted a single-payer system. But they want the Government to be the single payer so the bureaucratic army of paper-pushing micro-managers can verify everyone is being treated equitably. Which costs more, not less, so less money is left for patient care. Lose/Lose

Everyone wants their micro-managing middle persons taking peoples money to grind the red tape wheel. We just need to ditch the mandatory micro-managing middle persons.

Ellison is a prepper. He just has more money and resources than your average paranoid, anti-social TEOTHAWKI person.

Certain entities in every organization/organism must take the active role of removing or thwarting the life sucking parasites. In this example, the parasite is government. And the gun loving rednecks have to be vocal to be heard above the mind numbing droning of professional politicians and their symbiotes the main stream media.

Just a normal ecosystem, nothing to see here, move along.

According to the NDAA and POTUS Executive Orders, all that is required is merely to label, not accuse, them as Domestic Terrorists. Then the US Federal Government can seize all their funds, detain them without warrant, and confiscate any assets associated with generating these funds.

Oh, that's right, the US government is already started on the confiscation of assets; POTUS has already declared all assets belong to all the communist people of America.

The state of medical research today in the USA:
publishing a report where the conclusions are known in advance, and the conclusions are provided by your financial sponsors, and the conclusions meet with a pre-approved social agenda.

Linux From Scratch is now considered more organic -- you know, the small animal sacrifices and such required for a successful compile.

Having your hodge podgey around your Windows is what makes it all GUI.

BING! BING! BING!
We have a winner. I am seeing this very poli-drama being played out right now at my institution. The multi-decade tenured staff will not change from business processes implemented to fit a bad system bought 3 decades ago; and will not listen because they don't have to.

So you are saying, if deployed properly, Oracle is a weapon of internal destruction with an effective kill to cost ratio?
