When I first started to read this, I thought "Jeez... that's a little obvious, Andy. Hardly worth an article." Now that I see how some folks are trying to randomize data, I have to admit that such a short and sweet article about it is well overdue.
I don't believe that anyone will come up with a method that is either faster or more consistently random than just doing the ORDER BY NEWID()... but it is fun to watch folks try.
