 I discovered that some servers (like 2 out of 10) don't support random
 order in WP_Query - MySQL returns posts in the same order all the time. It
 works on WAMP localhost and on my server but it doesn't work for two other
 people I'm helping on their servers.

 I did the simplest possible WP_Query in Twenty Twelve theme and I
 discovered that MySQL's RAND() didn't take any effect - it was simply
 returning posts in the same order all the time (while once again - the
 same exact WP_Query works on WAMP localhost on Windows 7).

 I'm not sure if this qualifies for a bug report.
