Database Security and Oracle 11g
 
    Join us on Thursday, September 6th at Dave & Busters in Hollywood as the South Florida Oracle Users Group presents: Database Security and Oracle 11g. 
 
    We will provide an overview of the current status of Oracle Database Security as well as likely trends for the future. We will then describe types and techniques of attacks, specifically SQL Injection attacks on both Oracle-based web applications and built-in database stored program units.
 
    With databases tripling in size every two years, IT departments are facing both new and familiar challenges: How to maintain users' service levels in the event of server, storage, or site failures? How to prevent data breach and ensure regulatory compliance? How to store, manage, and protect all types of information, yet easily integrate it into routine business operations?

Bare Metal Bender Wind-up 
 
 
 
Bite my shiny, metal ass!
Everybody loves a sarcastic, galactically saavy, cigar smoking, prank prone, selfish, beer drinking robot. Enter Bender. Bender was his mothers 1729th son. His father killed by a can opener, Bender went on to college and majored in Bending and minored in Robo-American studies. This Unit 22 Bending Unit is proof positive that every desktop needs a tin metal, intriguing wind-up robot before it can be considered complete. Yep.
8.5" tall wind up die cast interactive Bender, from Futurama (fully licensed). Twist the antenna on top of his head and his expression will change from 'normal' bender to 'angry' bender. Perfect to fend off unwanted visitors. Optionally insert an included cigar into his mouth for those times when Bender just needs to mellow down. Bare Metal Metal Bender includes a can of Mom's Old Fashioned Robot Oil and a cigar! And arms articulate! Wind up key to make Bender walk inserts into side and is removable (his arms will also swing while in motion!). Open up Bender's ribcage compartment and see what's going on inside! Or just wind him up and let him walk all over your TPS reports. He doesn't care. He's Bender, you new best desktop friend with an attitude.

 Last week's question:
 
Who Would Win In A Fight?
Users
vs.
Programmers
 
Sherlock's Favorite Answer:
 
Users have the power - there is no argument on this question.
 
No users = no programmers
 
That has been my guiding principle since I started in the EDP business in 1968.  It hasn’t made me a millionaire, but it has kept me well supplied with jelly doughnuts.
