Comment: Window to extradite Assange? (Score 1) 253

by savethelecture (#39350057) Attached to: TVShack Creator's US Extradition Approved
I post this the same way that hackers point to weaknesses of systems to repair before they become a real threat. I don't suppose this "treaty" could be the window for the US government to request the extradition of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, on the grounds that he infringed the copyright of the material of the US government by posting it online. No longer needing to send back to Sweden or anywhere else. Any ideas if this IS a real threat guys?

+ - SAP's overpriced bid to buy Sybase->

Submitted by savethelecture
savethelecture writes "SAP to buy Sybase for $5.8 billion. Seems that SAP is trying to become more independent when it comes to database. Also to expand to devices that function with in-memory databases. Seems that this is the best coin to pay the arch-rival and collaborator Oracle, in consolidation.

From the business week article: "SAP is buying mobile and database vendor Sybase for roughly US$5.8 billion, the company announced Wednesday. The all-cash offer of $65.00 per share amounts to a 44 percent premium over Sybase's three-month average stock price, according to SAP. (...) In-memory processing is a particular interest of SAP co-founder and chairman Hasso Plattner, who has predicted it will reshape the enterprise application arena thanks to the performance improvement it can provide over databases that must read from and write to disks.""
