Well now Owen's has done one thing right and just about everything else wrong. Maybe now he'll fix the slashing and burning he's done to education. The schools here are dismal, I think they're about 48th in the nation. And his recent gouging of the state universities is atrocious.
Its interesting to think that it could be Sun's Java that is to blame for the demise of Sun hardware to some extent. Many server sales are now for people needing servers for J2EE applications which tend to scale out instead of up. Why spend significantly more on Sun hardware to scale out when you could just throw more X86 cluster nodes at the problem and achieve similiar results for less money.
