MS SQL Server 2005 Adds Security Features
nycsubway writes "Microsoft is planning to add in its own encryption and decryption to its newest version of SQL Server. From the article: 'The company is writing complex encryption and decryption functionality directly into the product so customers don't have to procure security features from a third party, or roll their own when the product becomes generally available next year.' I would also hope the default sa/password will no longer be there."
with the upcoming MS SQL Server 2005, MS said the security patch would be available soon to prevent having to update after the initial release

My initial reaction was to spit Bud Light all over my new 19" flat panel display!
He's threatening our hegemony!
When I installed the beta, I was surprised by the ease of installation and "light" feel of the new managment console.

Michael Moore Hospitalized
By Gary Finn
NEW YORK (Reuters)
Michael Moore was brought to the Emergency Department for shortness of
breath on a tarp dragged by six firemen. After positioning two gurneys side
by side, we somehow managed to lift him up. His health problems were
obviously due to his weight, which we estimated to be approximately five
hundred pounds.
Attempting to undress him, we lifted his arms to pull his very large shirt
over his head. To our surprise, an asthma inhaler fell out from under his
right armpit. It had been enveloped in the skin.
Reviewing his chest X ray, we noticed a round density in the left chest.
With the help of an assistant, we lifted up his massive left breast to find
a sticky, half-shiny dime. No telling how long it had been there.
Finally, a nurse and two technicians attempted to place a Foley catheter in
his bladder. After spreading apart one tree-trunk leg at a time, they found
a handful of industrial paper towels, apparently being used as a sanitary
napkin. But they also found an even larger surprise lodged between his
buttocks -- a TV remote control.
When I gave a report about the patient to the admitting physician, I tried
to cheer him up by reminding him that if he did a thorough exam, he too
could find buried treasure!
Mr. Moore's family was very happy that we found the remote.
