I've been seeing commercials about a company that has solutions for this sort of thing... can't recall their name but they keep yammering on about "logistics'.

More stuff goes into racks then just servers. Go into any audio studio, the Mac Pro will be in a rack. Same with video editing bays. But I guess Apple isn't interested in those markets anymore. Shame really...

Advancing backwards. The new "Mac Pro" is just a "Mac Cube" version 2. I for one will not be buying one, which means my current Mac Pro is the last Macintosh I'll be getting. No internal drive bays, no expansion slots, not a professional computer. I would have to cover my desk with external devices to match what's in my current tower configuration.

Not even a car rented from Kayak Car Rental can cross the ocean.

Indeed. Oracle is a tool. You don't blame the screwdriver if the contractor messes up your kitchen cabinets.

So all I need to do is email some anonymous database my credit card information? What could go wrong?

For example, the silk road guy who legally changed his name to his handle ("frosty") and then used said name in his encryption key.

Nothing to stop them, but it would be a MAJOR pain for them to maintain WINE compatibility with third party software.
