That's the least I can do. I'm outside the US, so I don't have a congressman to contact. If you are - sending a letter to your congressman is the only way to prevent the bill from being approved.

Now, there's a question that haunts me these days. Lots of non-tech friends, ex-colleagues, even some fellow hackers keep asking me:

Moving SQL table text/image to a new filegroup
This post has been updated, scroll to the bottom.
When you move an SQL-table to a new filegroup via the clustered-index recreation procedure, only "elementary" datatypes are moved (like "int", "datetime", "varchar" etc). Text, image, varbinary(max) and similar columns (aka "BLOB-fields" aka "LOB_DATA") will stay at their current location. If you click the "storage" settings for the table under the "properties" context menu item, you'll see that the "text filegroup" is the same as before! More info
