Re: Top marks
Actually, you get replication/distributed environments with NoSQL (that's why so many folks are moving that way). I don't need to roll it, its already there. In the case of Riak, they use vector clocks to reach eventual consistency.

Re: Top marks
Multi-master SQL databases to 200+ sites with full ACID, really? Master-slave, I get, master-master for all sites, I really am having a hard time believing.
Furthermore, RDBMS administration isn't onerous, but it's not easy either (and it's certainly a specific skill-set). A lot of NoSQL databases are much easier to administer, and can be administered by standard SA's, not DB SA's. You can get a multinode, fully HA Riak cluster up in literally 3 minutes and start transacting against it. Dynamically adding and removing nodes in that cluster also can happen on the fly. I'd like to see any classical RDBMS do that.

Re: Translation:
So, is your proposal that a company should be FORCED to stay in business (or offer a product) in a country where the regulatory environment makes it unfeasible, or is specifically structured to make it impossible to function? The last time I checked, there is no contract between Spain, or the Spanish people and Google compelling Google to offer Google News to them.
They (or their leaders/lobbyists/vested interests) pass a law that makes it difficult or impossible for Google News to operate, and you get upset when the shutter it? It looks like the law did exactly what it was designed to do.
If you don't want for something to happen, don't ask for it.
