Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*Brings back memories of the most awesomest computer I ever had the pleasure of installing software on. Harken back to the dark days of 2002, when during the Big Stand-Up of the Transportation Security Administration, we were tasked with deploying Oracle e-Business Suite (and related software) on one of these bad boys. Nothing makes a database quite as happy as having 106 processors to play with!

Oh wait. Except maybe having 1,500 processors to play with. ;-)
