Awesome story bro, now please go hang yourself. Every time you post a story people actually get dumber from the crap that comes out of your click-bait spam. You are a waste of oxygen, food and other resources. The universe is actually worse off for the entropy you are adding to it.
Please read the rest of the posts before me and get the point that we would all like for you to crawl in a hole and die, never to post another fucking story anywhere on the Internet. These scam stories that you're either part off, or too stupid to understand the scam are the reason your life should be forfeit.
Thats what they did isn't it? They sold out, then took their toys and left, and are going to do it again.
Congratulations, you have illustrated to every business in the world who's paying attention why it would be absolutely fucking stupid to invest any money in a GPL project. Your greed has effectively manipulated the concept of FOSS into something more evil than even what Oracle does.
Oracle is up front about stabbing you in the back. They'll tell you they are going to do it. This prick is just a two faced fuck who will never get support from anyone other than GPL fanboys.
Anyone with any intelligence is already distancing themselves from this guy, he says one thing while his actions show his intentions are completely different than his words.
You have no idea what the term scorched earth means. It in no way applies to what they've done. Stop using words you don't understand just because you heard someone else say it and it sound scary evil to you.
He's a douche on many levels, but he deserves no credit for this.
Sun was retarded to buy MySQL in the first place. It was just a fucking stupid thing to do, especially for a billion fucking dollars. They could have had it for free... instead they gave this douche a billion and HE gets it for free.
Oracle then proceeded to buy Sun for Java and server hardware. MySQL was never something they cared about. They'll probably be happy if he'd just take it and shut the fuck up. MySQL doesnt' compete in any way with Oracle's target audience.
Oracle's target audience would laugh if you mentioned MySQL to them. No one in the real database world considers MySQL to be anything more than a shitty networked version of SQLite and in most cases, SQLite is preferred by competent developers to MySQL. MySQL is for Linux fanboys who think LAMP is the singularity of perfection and the only possible way to write websites. They are unaware of the whole universe around them that doesn't suck.
Its not. Wikipedia's database load is rather low. Serving mostly static content from memcached can be done with any number of databases just as easily.
Its cute how you guys point out websites with a lot of traffic as if they indicate database load in some direct way.
Why VISA starts using MySQL for transactions, then you can start talking about it being serious.
There are multiple that will do that very thing and in fact have been.
Facebook is a popular website. Thats where it ends.
There are multiple out of the box solutions that will in fact work as well as MySQL did 'out of the box' Since they are in no way using Out of the Box MySQL your entire statement is retarded and pointless. You're trying to compare a custom version of some software to an off the shelf generic version and pretend its a fair comparison.
If you could get rid of MySQL and PHP, LAMP would be nearly as disappointing.
Seriously if PHP and MySQL are your flagship products you don't have any clue how disappointing your offering is. If you did, you wouldln't be bragging about them.
What you call beauty, the rest of the world refers to as a worthless side project, and hence why Oracle dropped work on it.
You guys think this is a good thing, you're too stupid to realize this is just another example of why a business wants nothing to do with GPL'd software. They can dump a metric fuckton of money into it and then watch the prick who made it walk out the door and take it to someone else and do the same thing.
You're a moron if you think MySQL was the reason Oracle bought Sun.
Oracle could give a fuck if MySQL exists, you're sadly uninformed if you think MySQL competes with Oracle in anyway. They are not just in different classes, they're at almost complete opposite ends of the spectrum.
Oracle bought Sun for Java and high end servers. This is clear based on their strategy of you know... using those things they bought and not discarding them like the crap that Sun had that they see no future in, such as WhateverFreetardOffice is this week and MySQL.
You don't even know what Sun did, let alone why Oracle would by them.
Yes,... it'll outclass MySQL in no time... or rather, negative time, since it has been clearly superior to MySQL for years in every way. The only thing that keeps MySQL popular is people who don't know what they are doing, which it does fine for.
I've worked at many companies. Rarely are the founders the ones who make the product great. People like Linus are a rare exception, not the norm. Expecting him to recreate his previous impressions is unrealistic at best.
If you're using a bittorrent client that doesnt' preallocation the file, then you should switch to a non-shitty one that preallocations, avoiding the entire fragmentation problem completely.
BitTorrent is a horribly inefficient way to move files. The only purpose it serves is to prevent leechers from taking and not giving back while moving your warez around.
If you have legitimate data, there is nothing more efficient than an FTP PUT/GET.
Why would you want to break the file apart and add a bunch of extra data to it, then transfer all that data plus all the extra, multiple times to multiple nodes.
If you aren't trying to move warez and prevent leechers, its a stupid protocol to use.
T1s are government regulated circuits with federal laws regarding uptime. They are never cheap, anywhere in the US, ever. They are considered vital infrastructure by law. The provider HAS to keep them working.
A T1 worth of bandwidth is cheap. A T1 is not.
No one will sell you an actual T1 local loop for $600 even if the end point is the room next door.
You're slinging around words you clearly don't actually use.
All security is security through obscurity. What do you think a password is? What do you think a key (digital or physical) is? Obscure patterns that other parties aren't likely to know.
Please don't repeat sayings you've heard until you actually understand them.
Thats because you, like the article and those who buy into this sort of ignorance are... to put it bluntly... paranoid idiots too stupid to bother to make yourself aware of any actual information about the aftermath such an event.
Let me give you a hint... Fukushima wasn't even a little bit scary compared to a certain little Russian event... you know, the worst known to man... you know, the one that is pretty much safe to live at and has been for a while... which is far less than 40 years... Or perhaps the actual blast zones from detonation...
So basically, actual real world experience tells us 40 years is far longer than is actually required for 'safety' once you pull your head out of your ass and base your world view on actual science.

The first post from the APK spammer is actually more useful than the story itself.

Thats because you're using your MySQL server in a shitty way and arent' aware of the various reasons its shitty.
Work on clustering ... seriously?
PostgreSQL has mutli-master clustering built in. A quick check shows that MySQL still has nothing built in for that purpose.
MySQL fails spectacularly if you use it incorrectly, just like PostgreSQL.
Your entire post just illustrates your ignorance of both MySQL and other offerings.
Yes, we know PHP is crap too.
MySQL is only good enough to keep unimportant information.
Did you not see this line?
Facebook IS loosing quite a bit of money.
Its not. Wikipedia's database load is rather low. Serving mostly static content from memcached can be done with any number of databases just as easily.
Its cute how you guys point out websites with a lot of traffic as if they indicate database load in some direct way.

Memcached would like to tell you that MySQL isn't doing shit you think it is doing. Memcached also says 'please to be getting a clue'
If you could get rid of MySQL and PHP, LAMP would be nearly as disappointing.

Heh, beauty.

You have to be stupid to invest in GPL software.

So?
I've worked at many companies. Rarely are the founders the ones who make the product great. People like Linus are a rare exception, not the norm. Expecting him to recreate his previous impressions is unrealistic at best.
If you're using a bittorrent client that doesnt' preallocation the file, then you should switch to a non-shitty one that preallocations, avoiding the entire fragmentation problem completely.
Or you could use a filesystem that didnt' suck.
'custom software' ... right because there aren't any libraries for multicast file distribution already or anything.
You fail at the Internet. Multicast file distribution is probably older than you are.
BitTorrent is a horribly inefficient way to move files. The only purpose it serves is to prevent leechers from taking and not giving back while moving your warez around.

Why exactly do we need to abstract our abstraction layer ... AGAIN?
Anyone making this sort of suggesting can not have more than a few years real world experience

Considering the Raspberry Pi's 'Ethernet' port is connected to the CPU via USB as part of the onboard USB hub, no, GigE would be wasted.
Well, if you buy a real server ... not something that runs in your basement at Moms ... 50K on hardware is ... well, trivial.
When you actually play with the big boys, you won't make such stupid statements.
