These people are really irritating? Not only do they release bad
patches, they don't provide a checksum on the patch files. I have
to play a guessing game as to when a file was downloaded. I've seen
better support from high school students (literally). What a bunch
of amateurs!
Those last two sentences would not be included if oracle would provide
a checksum for the zip files. It is a fundamental aspect of internet file
serving. It provides another level of security and in this case clarity.
I can see making mistakes in the code, but to not provide this level
of service when it is so easily done is not unforgivable.
Anybody at oracle listening? geez, Louis!
