the sad part is that universitied need funding, so government can always
find some professor somewhere who is willing to get paid to do policy
science.

When I took sociology they decried the use of what they called "policy
science", where someone has an objective but wants to find the best way to
get there. (e.g. "we want the best education system at a budget reduced by
15 percent." Then they turn around an talk about "improving" the education
system, or medicare, or... you name it.) They do this a lot in public
policy. They rarely ask: "What level of funding is ideal for delivery of
the following standards of services?"
I still haven't seen an honest comparison of SQL Server vs. Oracle vs. DB2
vs. Informix vs. SyBase vs. MySQL that I can trust.
Are there really independent software reviewers out there? If there were,
would they have any money to stay afloat? They would end up annoying one of
their sponsors at every study, eventually nobody would want to sponsor them
anymore...

IBM and Oracle are contesting whose database is easier to manage.

(easier to read if you go to the bottom and select printer-friendly)
But wait, if they make it too easy to manage, will they need us?
