    You also have to ensure that the machine is learning what is actually necessary.  I recently bought a new Chevy Silverado and the amount of SPAM I now get about Chevy Silverado's being on sale is insane.  I just bought one... why the hell would anyone think I'm in the market for another?  Stupid.  Just plain stupid.  The machine learned how to be a total moroff ("Moroff" is worse than "Moron" because it's more off than on :D).

    Exactly my point, Jeff.  DBA's are not likely to be in control of what all the code executing on their servers are doing, but it will be consuming resources that should be available for the storage and retrieval processes.  I'm for keeping all that workload off the servers.  Back when I started in mainframe days of the 60's we had no choice about it.  Anything that was to be done had to be in the same process.  Do we really want to go back to that?
