uptimes.
\_ hardly, My winbox stays up longer.

What is Larry Ellison thinking? What is he going to do with a bunch of
legacy Sun hardware that no one uses anymore, its fading workstation
customer base, and open source Sun MySQL that doesn't even generate

might be able to hit Intel up for donated/partially donated (reduced
price) Core i7 Xeons when they come out? Who would be a good person

what they want :-p -- steven

people who are 1) Front End developer 2) ASP .NET Developer and/or

2009/5/7-8 [Industry/Startup] UID:52967 Activity:very high | 5/7 I work at a year old startup, 50 employees, pre-ipo, almost
profitable but not quite, fast paced, lots of work, everyone

a year and has about 50,000X my stock options (no joke), and he's
not even a founder. Is this reasonable?
\_ Not in my opinion and I have worked at lots of startups.
