Sun Hints At Open-Source Database Offering
An anonymous reader points out a ZDNet story which begins "Sun Microsystems has raised the possibility that it might offer customers its own database, a move that could trigger displeasure at Oracle but curry favor with open-source advocates," writing "Last week, during a meeting with financial analysts, Chief Executive Scott McNealy showed a slide that placed the words 'Sun DB' next to a list of existing database products. McNealy offered no details besides 'stay tuned.'"
Slashdot error or typical SUN PR?
Looks like Sun and Slashdot are saying the same thing ;)
OK, you have to forgive me. It is Mardi Gras time in New Orleans, and I am drunk and typing on Slashdot.
But for Shiva's sake man! Sun is an evil company. All us Slashdot kids have watched this writhing beast spew out whatever cool word it can in its death throes.
Maybe we'll Open Source Solaris. Maybe we'll do this or that. Maybe we'll do something cool and our efforts will finally make your webcam work with Yahoo under Linux. Maybe.
Buy our servers.
Fuck Sun. They aren't our friend and you know it. And their little weekly press releases made to satiate the masturbating Slashdot masses mean two (2) things. Jack and Shit.
Fuck Sun. I am tired of reading their bullshit. I am tired of reading 20 pages of banter that completely contradicts what old MC Nealy swore was the company "vision" last month. Sick of it. Were it not for lock-in, those bastards would have dried up and died 5 years ago.
I would continue, but my drunk girlfriend is yelling at me for typing at 7:39 in the morning.
"What in the fuck are you typing?" she shouted at me.
"I am writing on Slashdot, it's like the #1 site in the world for Linux dudes. I'm totally drunk typing and bitching about how much I hate Sun and it's pretty funny. And I'm going to promote my site and make my company's bandwidth get farked."

I bet Sun just bought a MySQL license.
