- Source: The ASPSmith's Blog I thought I'd share my experience with moving a heavily used production database for a live website from one server to another this weekend. The database in question is used to support AspAlliance.com, but since it has been around for a long time, and since getting additional databases has not always been easy or free, there are several other sites that rely on this same database. |

- Human Events - What's Next for Big Brother? - a little-known part of the campaign finance "reform" bill. [kaba] Yet, perhaps the most ominous and Gestapo-like provision in the law is the provision--quoted on our cover page as summarized by Justice Stephen Breyer--requires that every broadcast outlet in America keep a record of every instance in which any American requests any broadcast time to deliver any message about any national political or legislative issue--even if it is not near an election, and even if it does not name an elected federal official. Why does the government need a record of when a citizen of, say, Bismarck, North Dakota, inquires about buying time from a local radio station to state his views about, say, government attacks on freedom of speech? For years, Americans who respect the 2nd Amendment have resisted a federal gun registry. |

- I’m normally pretty good at mentally blanking out the spam subject lines as they come into MailWasher. I know that 99% of the email that I see will either be spam or bounces from spoofed spam and virus mails, as all the mail my filters can positively identify as expected is hidden from view. But for the last two weeks or so, one particular subject line has been catching my attention and sending me into a brief panic several times a day. ‘ |

- Det berygtede angreb på Pearl Harbor den 7. december 1941 markerede for alvor Japans indtrædelse i Anden Verdenskrig. Endnu et WWII-spil ser dagens lys, men for en gangs skyld er det ikke Nazister, der skal bekæmpes. |
