Oracle, IBM, NEC, Hitachi, HP, Dell, NTT Data and others are joining in a consortium to sell Linux servers and systems in Japan, according to a Japanese press report.

The Nikki Shimbun says it would be the first time major IT firms combined to market Linux gear anywhere.

Oracle is reportedly leading the charge aiming to exploit the Japanese government's latest procurement guidelines set by the country's Communications Ministry in March favoring Linux on bids starting this July. Hence the June deadline on forming the consortium.

Like any number of other governments, Japan's has burr under its saddle about Microsoft not being open and their being overly reliant on the company.

The Nikki story said 78% of Japan's servers run Microsoft, 14% on Linux.

The central government's IT budget alone for fiscal 2007 is set at roughly $10.4 billion. With local governments thrown in you're looking at something north of $16 billion.

The move is expected to add to Oracle's credibility on the Linux front in its push against Red Hat.

I want to fucked and abused and used by 10 - 20 -30 men at a time. I want everyone to fuck me everywhere. I want my parents to be ashamed I was born. I want to fuck black men with huge cocks, bigger than my entire cunt that make me scream in a good pain that makes me want more. I want someone to bite my nipples so hard they bleed. I want to lick every mans asshole and suck his cock after he has fucked my twat, ass, and face.

I will never have enough cock to make my pussy quit quivering.

I walk the streets in a skirt so short you can see my pussy lips - waiting for any stranger to push me against the wall and fuck me up the ass, and then my twat while squeezing my nipples so hard I wonder if they will be there when we are done.

When he is done fucking me I want him to leave quickly - don't talk to me - don't like me - don't love anything but my holes.

Make me feel like I am nothing but meat, with no purpose but to be a receptical to sperm.

If I should turn around to soon slap my face and call me whore, a slut and bite my nipples until the bleed - pulling away with nothing but contempt for the whore I am.

I will not leave. I will sit and the ground and while your sperm runs between my legs - waiting for friends and aquantances to fuck me in the same horific way - as though I am nothing.

Every poking in every hole will let me know I am a women serving my purpose - without any love and constraints.

I will go home knowing I did what I was suppose to do
