Well, http://news.brisbanetimes.com.au/breaking-news-business/sun-microsystems-to-slash-3000-jobs-20091021-h7e7.html (Sun Microsystems Slashing Up to 3,000 Jobs) "They are the latest in a series of job cuts at the server and software maker, whose prolonged financial troubles led to the $7.4 billion deal with Oracle in April. Oracle's purchase of Sun is being held up by European antitrust authorities, who are concerned about possible harm to the database software market." Ha, regarding "software market"... Why don't the morons at THE ASSOCIATED PRESS know that http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html "Market It is misleading to describe the users of free software, or the software users in general, as a market." <???> Care to share your views on that, Alan? regards, alexander. -- http://gng.z505.com/index.htm (GNG is a derecursive recursive derecursion which pwns GNU since it can be infinitely looped as GNGNGNGNG...NGNGNG... and can be said backwards too, whereas GNU cannot.) _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
