Yeah, a bit off topic, but I find myself to ask in the community here,
what possible benefit can derived from this deterministic
auto-exsanguination that EllisonCo seems so committed to? OpenSolaris,
OpenOffice, arguably MySQL, and now Java - These were the feathers in
Sun's cap.

Is VirtualBox next?
