Change of subject. Someone posted an interesting link on Twitter last week that I retweeted. It's about Wikileaks from a security standpoint. I thought you might find the blog interesting.

http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2010/12/wikileaks_1.html

And then, following other links, I found this: http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/12/homeland-security-messages-coming-walmart-hotels-malls/[/url]

Anyone remember the Nightwatch on Babylon 5?

"Traitors cannot hide"

I watched the three Season 3 'all-hell-breaks-loose' episodes just last weekend.

I wonder, if I change my avatar to a photo, will I stop having people call me Mr or Sir?

But ... but ... wait! ... are you trying to imply that "Gail" isn't an exclusively masculine name??? 😀

Wow. I just had the worst time trying to post to Grant's blog. Three times I had to try before my post went through.

You'd think he was throwing a contest or something...

I just did a "Quote" instead of an "Edit" to correct a typo.

That's it, I'm going back to bed!!! Don't tell my boss, please!

I'll bet that in the wild they don't have to propagated, they can just replicate themselves. I guess it will be merge replication, rather than transactional. :hehe:

Similar, but 3 separate contests. Grant, Brent Ozar, and I all have contests running this week. You can only enter one.
