Folks, The InfoWorld article referenced by the SQL Serer Magazine guy now states: "This story was updated on April 20. Massachusetts does not require that written information security programs be filed at this time, just that they exist." Not only that, but he's incorrect about the encryption being required on *servers*. Again, the InfoWorld article as originally referenced talks about in-place encryption on "laptops and other portable devices". Yes, "PORTABLE DEVICES". Servers should of course be in a *locked closet*. In-place encryption is not a requirement of the law. -- IANAL

Scientists Discover Booze That Won't Give You a Hangover 334

Kwang-il Kwon and Hye Gwang Jeong of Chungnam National University have discovered that drinking alcohol with oxygen bubbles added leads to fewer hangovers and a shorter sobering up time. People drinking the bubbly booze sobered up 20-30 minutes faster and had less severe and fewer hangovers than people who drank the non-fizzy stuff. Kwon said: "The oxygen-enriched alcohol beverage reduces plasma alcohol concentrations faster than a normal dissolved-oxygen alcohol beverage does. This could provide both clinical and real-life significance. The oxygen-enriched alcohol beverage would allow individuals to become sober faster, and reduce the side effects of acetaldehyde without a significant difference in alcohol's effects. Furthermore, the reduced time to a lower BAC may reduce alcohol-related accidents."
