    Hypothetically, if Larry was eaten, would other billionaires be on their best behavior and stop positing fascist control mechanisms?

    We don’t need citizens to be on their best behavior, we need millionaires and billionaires to be on their best behavior.

        Actually there are good millionaires & billionaires (I’m being serious)

        It’s just that, they’re no longer Millionaires & Billionaires anymore (Or Alive)

    Yeah, and a simple wooden construction with a movable metal blade keeps billionaires on their best behaviour. Or at least it did in the 18th century.

        Billionaires, royalty, that thing works on anyone really.

          Very true! CEOs of insurance companies that indiscriminately murder and torture people are rarely billionaires, but they definitely can be used on them as well!

      Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphising Larry Ellison. You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don’t anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn, you stick your hand in there and it’ll chop it off, the end. You don’t think ‘oh, the lawnmower hates me’ – lawnmower doesn’t give a shit about you, lawnmower can’t hate you. Don’t anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don’t fall into that trap about Oracle.

        Oracle, the official company of “Look, we’re developer friendly now, our stuff is open source and free to use! Oh, right, you’ve activated my trap card, now pay 10k per every employee of your company because you used our proprietary JDK mwhahahahaha”

          I thought it was Oracle, the company of “our products are designed for one purpose alone: to tick boxes on RFPs.”

    This man is dangerous and needs to go away immediately.

      After 9/11/01, he said, “You have no privacy anyway. Get over it. We should have a national ID card database.” (paraphrased, but that was the gist)

      I’m not disputing that he’s dangerous, but I’m pretty sure his comments are mostly driven by wanting to sell Oracle licenses. Which somehow makes it worse.

    He can keep dreaming. People are angry and will fucking eat him alive. I can feel the anger in the air.
