As soon as virtualization is on your mind and not a laptop this makes beautiful sense.

Are you telling me that you haven't experienced the cult. I have witnessed over and over posters being marked Flamebait anytime someone dares to have the audacity to say anything even remotely negative about Apple. I have owned 4 macs and currently own 2 amongst all of my hardware. One runs OS 6 and the other is a dual G5 with Linux. I have also experienced en mass the cult of Mac and there is a serious difference between a user and a member of the cult. Making misguided assumptions is even dumber than whatever it is you think I did.
I didn't say YOU WILL NOT, I said I don't think you will. I made a generalization about a culture. I believe that Apple is starting to develop a culture that is the opposite of open and free. People who are members are guilted into not speaking out. I believe we need to address this with our pocket books and by calling it on the table when we see it.
In this case someone believes that they can stop the way things are going at any time but they'll go ahead and wait until things get worse before they actually do anything. They won't. No one ever does.
BTW I don't live in my basement, don't have TV (or watch Star Trek for the matter), I don't game, I hack Linux, Windows, Mac, FPGAs, embedded systems, have friends, live at ski resort, and live and play outdoors everyday. If you had a point with your statement about who you are and how easy your little feelings are hurt it was irrelevant.
I call you out, as you did yourself, as an Anonymous Coward. Please fell free to change out your I-Pad at anytime.
Flamebait is what you get whenever you say anything about Apple or its culture. The Cult of Apple, scientology, whatever. Inconvenient truth is always unacceptable.
The problem is, I don't think you actually will jump out of the boiling pot. All of your friends would leave because none of them will talk to people or treat them with respect or dignity if they don't use a Mac. The tithes you've been paying to the church of Mac would all have been wasted. All of your gadgets would end up either not working or without full functionality until some other hardware or encryption hacker maybe figures out how to unlock them. I think you'll stay right there in your cult and thank the great lord Steve for the privileges he has granted you.
The only problem that MySQL is having with its licensing model is that Monty is a fucking idiot who wants to have his cake and eat it too. I'm sorry, you sold it. It's not yours any more. What you want no longer matters. Now shut up and go away.
If only life was that simple. He did not sell it to SUN, the MySQL shareholders did of which he was only one of them. Monty had not been a majority shareholder since he went for venture capital support in 2001.

Did he gain anything from the sale? Of course, but he had no real say in it.
I have a hard time guessing if you're trolling or not. I'm assuming you are, but on the remote chance that your question really is sincere:
The volumes involved are mind numbing. If sea levels rose even one foot, there'd be 10^14 cubic meters of water to handle.
I couldn't find a reference on the world's largest water tower, but the US largest (and those Americans do seem to like building big stuff) can hold "half a million gallons". So, if we built towers as big as that one, we'd still need about 5*10^10 of them - that would be about ten times as many as we have people in the world.
Are you beginning to see the problem?
