Good grief man ... don't you read documentation? That behavior has been advertised and promoted heavily by Oracle as one of the new and outstanding features of 10g.

For more information on it go to http://tahiti.oracle.com and look up "RECYCLEBIN" and "FLASHBACK".

I have had demos of this on my PSOUG web site for almost 4 months.
