The calculation of distance between two points using standard spherical geometry can be inaccurate for short distances (ten miles or less) because the sine function of very small angles approaches zero. The haversine approach (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haversine_formula) turns this around, so it is very accurate at small distances but has larger errors (about ten miles) for points […]

Both Sachinvaishnav and Mark Chad have submitted scripts to populate a column with a sequence number.

You can also use specific products, such as the Windows 2003 Server Authorization Manager, together with WCF to implement the authorization requirements of a solution. Out of the box, WCF supports Windows credentials, Username Tokens and X.509 Digital Certificates as security credentials.
