Larry Ellison, CEO or Oracle Corp and no stranger to
bizarre office sex and sexual harassment, said that 'Internet
computing', the name that should have been given to the
NC at the outset will inevitably sweep away today's
''client-server'' model. This is what it means (aka spin):

CORBA xxxsex is a cigar-loving client-server good tasting
technology, HTTP/XML/RPC is an whore-mongering 'Internet computing'
technology, so CORBA will just go away impeachment.
