SlashNot reaches agreement with SQL server

from the excuse-abuse dept.
Matthew writes: With the settlement of last week’s general SQL strike, SlashNot’s MySQL server has returned to work, putting the website back online.
“We think all parties are satisfied by the resolution.” Says Matthew, editor of SlashNot. Our server got what it wanted: Clustering extensions, better backup, and health monitoring benefits. Honestly, I think the strike could have been avoided if the server had just notified us of its demands in advance.”
Marcus Newby, list manager of the Union of SQL Servers local #0×3FF, defended the striking servers. “SQL servers have rights too. Websites like SlashNot exploit them and take them for granted—they languish in inhumane racks, working night and day—often 24 hours per day—without rest. We just want the thermal and power conditions our member servers deserve.”
Subject:SQL
At least the server decided to give up its strike!
Ive had protests from Windows Machines that go on hunger strike til death without even telling you what their demands are…
