Perhaps not he right pleace - but is any work being done to make
Rails work with Oracle. Until I can connect Rails to an existing
"serious" database (corporate speak), then I won't get Rails (or
Ruby) considered as a serious web development framework. I guess what
is really needed is a DBI style level of indirection for any database.
Is it coming?

We just added drivers for DB2 and MS SQL Server, so I'd say we got two
"serious" databases covered. And Maik, the author of the DB2 adapter,
already has much of the Oracle adapter running. So yes, it's coming.
And looks to be fairly shortly too.

It's a 'yes'.

Of course taxes will have to go up to pay for the current cock-up.

Your bank has made a mess of your life and there's nothing you can do about
it.

It doesn't matter who is in power here or anywhere else much, the bankers
did for us all with their greed and stupidity.

They've screwed it up and now they'll all get paid a million quid each to go
away whilst some other imbecile with a very expensive suit tells us all how
he isn't going to make the same mistakes, and there's no alternative to
them so you've GOT to trust them.

I'm starting to think that buying gold bars and sticking them in a sock
under the bed actually may be a reasonable investment policy.

Abelard thinks gold isn't worth investing in, so it's almost certainly a
good bet anyway...

Oh yes, gold isn't a declarable asset.

When you're assessed for tax or anything that's means tested you don't have
to tell them you've got it...

The reality is that they can't realistically check what you've got, the
justification is that gold can be acquired as 'coin of the realm' and so it,
like the currency in your pocket, isn't checked.

You don't get it do you.

Six months ago you were muttering idiocies about how clever the US economic
planners were and how we'd see evidence of this genius 'real soon now'.

Except that it has all turned to shit...

And now the US and UK governments have spent all the money (and I do mean
ALL THE MONEY) on holding up the banking system because if they don't we'll
all be living in huts and eating mud in about a year.

Look idiot.

The your 'financial genius' bankers have lost all the money by lending it to
people you wouldn't give 25p for a cup of tea and suddenly discovering that
they won't pay it back.

The system is broken, it'll take half a decade to get back to where we were
a year ago.

If we're lucky China and India won't starve, but expect famine in Africa
any day now.

The rest of us get to keep what we have, unless you work for a bank, in
which case you may well get a chance to find out all about our wonderful
social security scheme and how much it pays in reality...

Unless you're a boss at a bank, in which case they'll give you a million
quid and send you home to your big house and you'll never have any financial
difficulties ever again...

Now, tell us what the Tories are going to do about it...

Oh yes, and while you're there I'd love some sort of explanation about
hybrid cars that are going to save the world that you seem to have forgotten
about...

You're insane.

Every investment bank in the USA and most of the mortgage market just either
got shut down or nationalised, without compensation to the owners.

That's NATIONALISED WITHOUT COMPENSATION, you know, just like Cuba and
China did to the US assetts after their revolutions...

It doesn't matter now who gets elected there . If they're lucky they'll
have just enough spare cash for a big party once every three months...

That's all 'knocking copy'.

God you're stupid.

Let's look at what the Tories have actually said so far, and to be honest
they've not said much...

Here's George Osborne, the Shadow Chancelor:
"The situation in the financial markets is very serious. We support the
merger of Lloyds TSB and HBOS, and think it is right to suspend competition
questions in the public interest. We will support measures that will
stabilise the banking system."

"In relation to the suspension of competition rules, the test must be what's
in the public interest. In normal times, there might be concern about having
such large high street bank. However at the moment it is in the national
interest temporarily to suspend competition arrangements, as the priority is
to bring stability back to the British banking system."

And your mate David Cameron:

"Anything the prime minister and the government do to help will have my full
support."

Translation:

"Oh shit, there's nothing we can do, we can't even blame the government
because it's not their fault..."
