The only thing they have that's unbreakable is their founder's head, it appears to be solid bone.

So much for Crazy Larry's claims of "can't break in", and "can't break it".

I suggest Mary Ann Davidson should stop mouthing off about security researchers being a problem, and spend her time securing her employer's products. Maybe if Oracle's software is really as secure as Larry boy claimed them to be then security researchers won't find that many bugs, then there's no reason for her to open her mouth and criticize them.

Like it or not Mary baby, security researchers are here to stay whether you like it or not. If you're so bothered by these people, maybe you should get out of the software market and do something else.

Spelling may help your brief descriptions...

In the days of actually proof reading your news articles, a mistake like spell [which] wrong would have never taken place. A few years back newspapers actually employed people to review articles before being "printed" but like all things, news transforms.. we should just call this website one big BLOG without a spell checker.

Okay, I can come up will a list of excuses for that spelling error, but I won't. Thanks for pointing it out, we've fixed it.

We're lucky that on the Internet we can correct mistakes like that and it won't be an eye sore for readers any longer.
