Call me when they support POWER9.

>paying for a Linux distro that many have already free

Just download Debian for fucks sake.

>Oracle anything

I'd rather not

>>935025

What's wrong with Oracle? Genuinely curious not sarcastic.

>>935074

Literally bigger patent trolls than CrApple

Patent nonsense, licensing bullshit (turning ZFS proprietary), them fucking up FLOSS projects they take over to the point of forks replacing the originals which have been around for a long time (OpenOffice, mysql). Also, discontinuing Sun's SPARC CPUs. I like our old SunOS machines at work.

>buy Sun to get Java

>progressively make Java worse and worse over the course of 20 years

>kill OpenSolaris

>treat Sparc and Solaris like shit

>make Oracle Linux, a distro that's identical to RHEL but with less support

>make a shitty odf editor called Oracle Open Office specifically to confuse everyone about the real Open Office and end up killing both projects

>turn Virtualbox into proprietary software for no reason

>kill Sparc and Solaris because people don't buy ruined products

>continue to be autistic patent jews over Solaris-based software anyway

Did I miss anything?

>>935098

So basically they destroyed Sun and Java? Did you ever use Solaris before they changed it to closed source?

qemu > ur stupid shit

How does oracle even stay afloat?

>>935151

It's mysterious, somehow Larry Elison manages to be one of the 8 richest people in the world.

Government

Contracts

Take a look at who was chosen for building the backends used by the national healthcare shit mandated by Obama.

>>935167

>national healthcare

Mandatory private health insurance isn't exactly what I'd call a national healthcare system. In fact FDR had a word for describing when corporations take over the government and make it do their bidding: fascism.

Sounds like kike asshurt.

FDR also was the first president to expand the powers of the executive branch beyond what the founding fathers intended with his wartime executive orders. He had no business calling anyone fascists

>>935177

Actually, you have the relationship backwards friend.

>>935200

>FDR also was the first president to expand the powers of the executive branch beyond what the founding fathers intended

Abraham Lincoln and Woodrow Wilson both did that before him though.

Reminder that Larry Ellison will cry himself to sleep tonight if you remind him that he will never be richer than Bill Gates.

>>935275

Or if you remind him that he wont live long enough to see the fruits of the billions hes spent on life extension research.

>>935177

>muh fascism

You are an idiot.

>>935274

And Jackson before them. We can try to make a lineage of the accumulation of power under the executive branch all day long, but the fact is that FDR strengthened the executive branch's purview so much that him calling anyone a "fascist" is laughable.

>>935200

No, that would be Andrew Jackson, and many others after him. Agreed though, in fact FDR's first programmatic response to the Great Depression (and not the New Deal we're familiar with) was fascistic in nature, somewhat like what was being done in Italy at the time. Not saying that he was an expert on facism, just that people in history would have described the so-called Affordable Care Act as fascist.

>>934999 (OP)

Kek, Oracle has a Linux? No wonder Solaris development has slowed to a crawl.

>>935177

FDR was a communist faggot so of course he calls anything that's not the state taking everything over, fascism.
