WTF?

smoking that legal California pot

If Sun (a.k.a Oracle pawn) want to give away M9000's to drive more Oracle licenses they better take a lesson in TCO. Only an idiot would buy a quad core Fujitsu SPARC chip. You get 26% less performance per core than the dual core version. Figure out the math on a complete Oracle software stack that costs $150K per core.

This is your brain....this is your brain smoking dope and buying SPARC
