Wow.

I've been processing a couple of billion rows of data on my machine, the fans didn't even come on. WTF are they teaching "experts" these days, or has Elmo only hired people who claim that they can "wrangle data" and say "yes" ?

I've read a story on the forbidden website where a "database" was a single table with a single column holding a single row that contained the actual data as a CSV blob. I'm willing to bet the muskies are not beyond such acts of genius.

It's terrifying that this is plausible.
