The rug pissers did it.

I just want to understand this, sir. Every time a rug is micturated upon in this fair city, I have to compensate the owner?

Hmm, works fine for me. Try

I just don't have the courage to Google the term "fleshlight."

mikewof: If your company is using Java, it and you are being victimized. Depending on scale, convert to either an IBM i/OS or z/OS. Use DB/2 with a legacy language. Hackers don't know what to do with those platforms.

Done right, you get no more security scares,TCO is lower, and no more Java weirdness.

I don't know what any of this means but it sounds like if I show this post to the guy in IT I'll be able to justify the next 15 minutes that we're then going to spend talking about hockey and famous sidearm pitchers.

So thanks for the freebie, I owe you one.

The guy in IT?! Only one? Enjoy the conversation, but I thought the NHL were still screwing around.

If your outfit is really small, then either Linux with C++ and MySQL on a 686/Alpha server, or i/OS with software packages on Power6 (DB/2 is included) may be a better fit.

Since you mentioned Homeland inSecurity, I reckoned you were in a much bigger organization.

There are a lot of folks in IT, only one who talks hockey. It's a big government field office. I'll show him the Greek above as well.

The strike is over, pucks drop all over North America in a few days.

Did he understand my commentary?

Now that I know that it's a federal agency, I reckon that cost and efficiency in using taxpayer dollars won't be a consideration. Oracle is perfect for such a situation, and may those down-times and crashes be frequent and enduring. Beware also any Geeks bearing gifts.
