Having a Microsoft SQL server available on the Internet is asking
for trouble (e.g. that's how the ``slammer'' worm took out the
power grid in much of the eastern U.S. a couple of years ago).

For that matter having Microsoft anything on the Internet is
asking for trouble, but people didn't listen to me when I told
them that at least 12 years ago :-).
