schestowitzIt is essential to paint seasoned experts as gray and irrelevant, as has-beens who don’t understand the genius of our new offerings. And it is essential to paint every tool we used to offer or never offered as outdated and obsolete.Feb 23 07:52
schestowitzWhen dealing with open source, the most important person to paint as a has-been is Richard Stallman. He and Gates are decades-long rivals, diametrically opposed to each other in their philosophies. But more relevant is that he leads the movement that opposes us– we need to keep open source on our side, and lead them further away from free software.Feb 23 07:52
schestowitzFortunately, Stallman and his followers are tightly-knit in their ideology. Attacking any of them is like attacking all of themFeb 23 07:52

schestowitzwhy do i think that? for one, because ego is the only thing that explains everything raymond has done-- right up to plotting (as perens revealed last year, which roy has mentioned) with oreilly to oust stallman 20 years ago, to drive him out and make him irrelevant. open source, with its early and bold attacks on microsoft, only makes sense if driven by jealousy instead of the common good. same for matt. please by all means-- give Feb 23 07:52

schestowitzIt deals with redo log for 3 seconds, I am guessing something not related to my work as I did not touch the site at the time.Feb 23 12:01
schestowitzThen it starts OKFeb 23 12:01
schestowitzIt only "checks" table, it says... taking seconds in total. 26 seconds later it's done with all the tables.Feb 23 12:01
