Thats why there is a document retention policy safe harbor in the rules themselves.
The "safe harbor" will not apply to the routine operation of a document destruction system (e.g., emails automatically deleted after thirty days) if the company reasonably anticipates litigation. This is clear both from the Committee Notes to the Rule and the case law. In other words, you can't argue that you fall under the safe harbor just because the data was lost due to an automatic operation. You have to show that you made a good faith effort to preserve the evidence, which may include halting the operation of the automatic archiving/deletion system.

Why Ballmer Should Leave Microsoft 341

An anonymous reader writes "In the wake of the announcement of Bill Gates' departure from the top spot at Microsoft, CNN Money is carrying an article arguing that Steve Ballmer should step down as well." From the article: "Since Gates stepped down as CEO in 2000 in favor of Ballmer, the company has floundered technically and strategically. As the company's chairman, chief software architect and supposed visionary, Gates deserves blame for missing the wave of Web-based software that has propelled Google and Yahoo. But Ballmer has made gaffes of his own in his longtime role as head of the company's business side. They include an undistinguished push into business applications to compete with Oracle, financial maneuvers that have failed to stir the stock - which has slumped 16 percent so far this year - and continuing antitrust problems in the United States and Europe."

We have supported ANSI SQL 92 conformant transaction for about 22 months now.

Granted, we did use BEGIN as the keyword to indicate the start of a transaction. This syntax is not ANSI SQL 92 conformant.

However, in version 4.0.10 we introduced the comformant START TRANSACTION keyword as a synonym for BEGIN.
