Bring Back the Oracle Haters' Club
-
Oracle remains WTF enough to warrant its own category.
-
There ya go.
-
Did you know that Oracle-on-Linux does not have a service installer?
-
I'm surprised it even has a working installer
-
-
Oracle Haters' Club will return after its mono is cured
-
-
Oracle is basically cancer. Not even joking.
-
And there I was thinking of Cthulhu's pet squid-spider cross.
-
Oh, I forgot about the IHOC! Mostly because I try to purge all things Oracle from my memory.
It's almost the 10th anniversary: http://forums.thedailywtf.com/forums/t/1142.aspx
Interestingly enough, every single point in my original rant is still valid. In fact, I think the product has managed to get even worse, such that Oracle 10g would be considered an upgrade.

So I found this Oracle Hater CafePress store, then I got pissed that some asshole stole those satirical logos I made way back when, and put it up on a CafePress site to profit off my work!
Then I re-read my rant, and realized that I set up that store. So, I logged into my CafePress account, which apparently I had. Oh look at that, people still buy IHOC Merch? Cool!
So, now I'm pissed that I didn't set a mark-up on the items. I could have made tens of dollars over the years with this thing!!

You could have paid for 5 mins of TDWTF's costs.

My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, 'If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.'. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- 'Don't ever smoke. Please don't put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 28, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because Oracle gave me cancer anyway.

I had the same conversation with my dad about alcohol. Luckily it was a bit earlier.
-
I'm very tempted, but it'd have to be kept at work (and we're no longer a total Oracle shop; we upgraded to Exchange1 for email).
1 It was an upgrade too. If you think Oracle's databases and languages are a WTF, wait until you've tried their more enterprisey products…

Hey look at that, @codinghorror and I agree 100% on something!
I refuse to even pronounce it correctly. Even our Oh Ray Cull DBA agrees....
I like the cafepress stuff. I think my boss may actually order some of it.
I think that's how I'm going to pronounce Oh Ray Cull from now on: Orable.
-
I pronounce it "Oh Rah Kul"
-
That's pretty good too. The Oh Rah Kul Debacle caused by horrible Orable.
-
Corrupt the database? Did I do that?
-
Oh Rah Kul
-
Oh Rah Cul to borrow an appropriate French word.
