Will Oracle Keep Funding Sun's Pet Java Projects? 234
gkunene writes "Oracle expects Sun to contribute to its operating profit right away. To make that happen, Oracle may pull funding and staff from projects such as JavaFX, Project Looking Glass, and Project GlassFish."

Ahh, but Oracle may decide to turn their offices into an exotic nightclub and force the engineers to work overtime as erotic dancers. You never know what they might do...
Speculation for nerds, stuff that's made up

How to lose staff and alienate customers?
Oracle has a track record of such brilliance.

Ok, now I'm pissed... you mean people actually get paid to do this? I've been acting like a position slut and giving it away for free! I wants my money!

Can't wait to see where Oracle takes Java.
Hopefully somewhere deep in the woods for murder-suicide pack.

I can't believe this! My plans for our premises and staff have been leaked all over the Internet already. I still think your engineering talent will make much more money through our Exotic Sunset Clubs than they ever did from Java (especially with the tips). We've just got to keep the lid on this, any more leaks and we'll be seeing it as SCO's recovery plan.

Dude! I hope you didn't reply to that message and give any personal information. It's clearly a phishing attempt, and a poor one at that!
First, the Sun/Oracle deal hasn't been finalized.
Second, you can see their form message software screwed up and didn't replace the variables X, Y and Z with real products. I see that happening a lot in spam lately.
Third, they didn't sign it with a full name, title, and contact information.

Finally, they're under the control of a management hierarchy that doesn't consistently shoot itself in the foot!
True, Oracle has better aim...they generally shoot their customers in the foot.
