"Oracle rules the enterprisey stuff, if only because of inertia - a decade from now you'll still find it encrusted at the core of many large companies. But for anything else it has all but disappeared."

"Great article - I'll pass it around to beginners. One minor nitpick though : I disagree with the tire inflation advice - it is true that lower pressure increase grip, but that must be balanced against the risk of snake bites... I'm a bit on the heavy side and no not a very delicate rider, so I have often smashed the rims against the tire with the tube in-between, with the usual deflating result. That taught me to prefer a little less control and being able to go downhill without having to patch tubes twice a day."
