But according to Mr. Ellison:

- From the February 22, 2002, PBS Newshour, during a story on proposed National 
ID cards:

----
LARRY ELLISON: Do you know how many people have hacked into an Oracle 
database in the last ten years?

SPENCER  MICHELS: No.

LARRY ELLISON: That would be zero. That would be zero. It is not true that 
anyone can hack into any piece of software.

I'm holding my breath for his retraction.
