Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> OT RE: metalink - the final word
I think we can all agree that it is a broken toilet of a web site, unable to flush, and as such, unable to ever completely empty itself of the foaming excreta, cognitive waste, and repellent effluvia streaming from its seething geyser of filth.

I would agree with that as well. For such a large company I would have to say that they have one of the worst web pages in the history of web pages. I have seen second year students at The New Jersey Institute of Technology develop better web sites than that. Do you realize that I had to do a search for metalink website because I couldn't find the link on their website. Maybe it was like a project of larry's, he offered it up to some 12 year old HTML gurru and let em go?

While this pot is stewing, I'll add the following:
What the heck is wrong with Oracle? They have InterMedia nee ConText, and the searchability of their "support" site is embarassingly feeble. Why no "smart searches"? Why no automatic notification when a "Forum" response is logged? Why no moderated lists..or listservers.....
This stuff ( i.e. "service" ) is cheap, and OWS is making a major mistake by slacking on it.
Much as I know people do not like Microsoft, ask any developer/manager about subscriptions to Microsoft Developer Networks..it used to be near free, now it's about 2 grand yearly, and you get *boxes and boxes* of CDs with tools, docs, new languages, white papers, sample code, amazing stuff....
<shrug>
I guess if you're one of the big fish in the sea, you get to do what you want and let the plankton fall into line......

Subject: RE: metalink
does anybody know what exactly MetaBlink runs on?
last I heard it was clustered 6500's with 6 G of RAM.
I actually called client relations to let me know, and
they have not returned the call.
Sun is good stuff, but the site has been truly flakey for
a major corporation's flagship support center. <shrug>

I was trying to use MetaLink yesterday morning (east coast USA) & was getting an
authorization error. I called OTS customer service who verified they were
having a problem. Wonder if some duhveleper got a fat finger in the wrong
place.
