As one who holds a Bachelor's degree in English writing, I have to disagree with your ignorant statement about the word irony. Mr Mullen wasn't claiming the events were ironic because of number of occurrences, but instead he was simply offering three unrelated stories of irony, analogous to his perception of the irony of someone stating a system is "hack-proof." Something called unbreakable that is broken is ironic; as is starting a fire while working on fire detection equipment etc. Please don't post to a serious discussion board with pseudo-intellectual critiques of the author's writing style, especially when your own is lacking.

As for Oracle being hack-proof.....looks like I just found my next project ;)
