Made me laugh - this is the diclaimer you get when you download some Oracle stuff.

I am not a citizen, national or resident of, and am not under the control of, the government of: Cuba, Iran, Sudan, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Syria, nor any other country to which the United States has prohibited export.
I will not download or otherwise export or re-export the Programs, directly or indirectly, to the above mentioned countries nor to citizens, nationals or residents of those countries.
I am not listed on the United States Department of Treasury lists of Specially Designated Nationals, Specially Designated Terrorists, and Specially Designated Narcotic Traffickers, nor am I listed on the United States Department of Commerce Table of Denial Orders.
I will not download or otherwise export or re-export the Programs, directly or indirectly, to persons on the above mentioned lists.
I will not use the Programs for, and will not allow the Programs to be used for, any purposes prohibited by United States law, including, without limitation, for the development, design, manufacture or production of nuclear, chemical or biological weapons of mass destruction.

How the **** do you make a nuclear weapon from a database patch then? The yanks are so far up their own ***** it's not true.

 

If this is stuff from the 'Technet' website then I don't know why they bother with a disclaimer, as the chances of any of it working are pretty much nil.

 

Oh the disclaimer works perfectly, it's designed to protect Oracle from responsibility, not the end user.

Steve.

 

I meant the software not working, not the disclaimer...

 

Had to d/load some drivers from 3com last night & after this post, thought I'd read the disclaimer a bit more than usual ( ) & much the same rubbish!

 

And like you're going to click "I Disagree" LOL
