Have you sailed across the open ocean yet? I'm concerned since that boat looks like a racing cruiser. She looks fast, but she also looks like she'd roll on you in a second unless you were paying lots of attention. You're not going to try to sail solo, are you?
Boat forums would be better to post on, and there are many of them. You'd also be able to find some sailors with experience to tell you about gear and the best boats to attempt an around the world cruise.
There are more than enough books out there to inform you about the harsh realities of open water sailing. There's also a few that would make someone foolishly optimistic about first time around the world sailing. Be careful about those books. Floating containers and pirates are more than enough to keep me away from such an endeavor.
Ignore the harsh tone of some of these posts, but don't forget the ocean is one harsh place and not forgiving. Good luck and safe voyage.
You could go with a denial due to the increased resources that the ADHOC queries will produce. Both CPU and memory used will increase as they do their (most likely) not optimized queries. They won't have access to the rest of the jobs being run on the server so they could be performing a query at a time where usually the resources are free for an existing complicated job. You could even appeal to paranoia with exposing the server odd sql attacks. I'm not sure of the licensing restrictions on Oracle, but maybe they would be violating that if their ADHOC queries were coming from dozens of different users.
Basically they could break the server or increase the licensing costs.
Unless you want an excuse for a beefier server... then this might be worth turning around.
After seeing this bit of news I went to read WhereIsPhantom.com, only it's not there anymore. Instead there was an error message and a few links to PHP stuff. It's been awhile since I've read the news there but I didn't think it'd go away yet. I searched on HardOCP and was only able to find out that the site had been taken down and there was no news on the reason why.
I'm just curious - but since these domains are not really being used, can't someone that wanted one of them (and that also had a real use - whether I would consider it a valid use is another matter) use the arbitration policy to get the domain released?

Wish that had been said earlier. Heck, he even makes a case for abandoning Macs, and I don't think that's something he intended.
Cowardice? No, not likely. And the boats I've built would contradict a claim of laziness.
But in the words of Saint Callahan, "A man's got to know his limitations."

So does anyone know what happened to the site?
