Couric: I'm just going to ask you one more time, not to belabor the point: Specific examples in his 26 years of pushing for more regulation. Palin: I'll try to find you some and bring 'em to ya!

"Like that vendor's appliance, the Oracle Database Machine offloads SQL query processing and large-table scans to an intelligent storage layer," he wrote. "Whereas Netezza uses a technique that involves field-programmable gate arrays, Oracle has leveraged its 11g technology to parallelize query/scan execution to a massively parallel pool of Exadata storage cells."
Hmmm. this statement seems to imply that Netezza is somehow performing table scans or at least matching criteria using FGPAs inside of storage box. Teradata isn't doing any database operation on the storage box itself. pretty cool.

Billy: got the visa [for my trip to Vietnam]. heading 2 a starbucks so i can work. Kevin: Great. sounds like it was painless Billy: well... they didn't imprison me in a bamboo cage or anything if that's what u mean...
Once upon a time, someone datamined all of TinyURL. And someone saw many wondrous things, like XSS payloads, Email spam, IRC conversations, traffic, and FTP urls with inline basic auth credentials. And so around that same time, for reasons completely and totally unrelated to the datamining, that someone acquired a fairly large collection of Trance and House music.
And then, (after almost losing chunks of the data...) many years later, that someone was up very late at night, minding his own business when a blood curdling voice disrupted his peaceful Zen-like state ...
