I've always agreed. I remember that back in high school I wanted to do a CS project for the Intel competition and every somewhat-relevant-sounding paper came from the ACM, which required a fee. I...

It's not an address. It's not a URL.

I should have used a metaphor that didn't make it such a big deal, but my response that Oracle is screwing with developers are about more than just links. Even if you are not affected, just that Oracle...

Oracle is at the moments screwing with what makes bread and butter show up at the tables for a lot of developers. It's like if a city office decided to suddenly rename all the street names and numbers,...

I was actually on the team that did this migration last summer (not with Oracle) and find all this rather entertaining. It was not my job to set up the redirects but I'm looking forward to going home...

I never implied that they could all do the migration. I implied that they should be able to write a couple scripts, so whomever was tasked with the mind-blowingly difficult task of moving files on...

Ever work with Oracle software? Customizing a process like that might actually create thousands of man-hours of overhead.

Struggle?I would guess thatOracle do not care as they do not see the cost of setting up redirects as generating any or enough revenue.
