RE: Oracle wants your job

Hmmm...if Oracle hosts my database, and something "bad" happens, and it goes down for the day.

Is Oracle going to pay me for the downtime? I think not. Is Oracle going to reimburse me for all the sales I lost? I think not. I'm sure some Oracle rep will make me all kinds of promises that they will fix their process so it will never happen again. Not.

If the data is in house then "someone" can be held accountable. Procedures can be updated.

As for your money example, if I didn't need a checking account (for checks), a credit card, a mortage, a car loan, then I wouldn't need a bank, and all my money would be stuffed under my...so if banks all of sudden appeared, then yes, I would put my money into a bank, because I need all those services that the bank provides.

Besides, technology is already kicking in that some stores (in Seattle) are accepting your fingerprint as your form of payment. You setup an account with the store and tie your fingerprint to a credit card.

Hello List,

Maybe, some of you will not be agree with me, But, I think centralization will
occur.

Let's imagine that There is no banking system in the world and everyone keeps their
money at home. And, someone claims that there will be banks and people will give
money to banks. In this case, we would say 'Why'. We would say "Why do I give my
money to a bank ?".

This is same thing for IT sector. Some of us say "Why do I give my data ?". I'm
saying if we give our money to a bank, why don't we give our data to data centers ?

Which one is important for commercial companies, money or data ? Money is centralized, why not data ?

Also, Centralized information makes societies more democratic, more clearer.
