   Why not?  They bailed out enough stuff (except for the taxpayer) that
   one more wouldn't make much a difference. :-)

     Let's face it, while SUN was founded with a public serving goal in
     mind,
     SUN's not pinin'! 'SUN's passed on! This company is no more!
     SUN has ceased to be! 'SUN's expired and gone to meet 'its maker!
     SUN's a stiff! Bereft of life, SUN rests in peace!
     If Oracle hadn't bought it SUN'd be pushing up the daisies! '
     Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! SUN's off the twig!
     SUN's kicked the bucket, SUNs shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down
     the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!!
     THIS IS AN EX-COMPANY!!
     While we are all at it, we have to accept that Oracle is in business
     to make
     money (which is why they are still in business) and not to expect
     them
     to do anything else.
     I'm not saying I like it either, but that's the way it's going to
     be. Or would
     you prefered that the US Government bailed out SUN at your expense?

     understanding, as in he has a sub-wikipedia understanding of the
     situation.
     i.e possessing less facts or information than can be found in the
     Wikipedia.
