This has been going on for a long time. It's due to drainage of basically the Great Plains out into the Gulf. Lots of fixed nitrogen from fertilizers in that these days. That nitrogen stimulates a variety of organisms that also use oxygen. Which there really isn't all that much of in water.
The only way you are going to stop it is to find a different method of raising food for the world. Hint: current organic methods doesn't do it - too labor intensive and yields suffer.
Or you could have less people.
Don't worry, in ~20 years the aquifer will run dry and the entire Great Plains will become the new Dust Bowl. Problem solved.

What's 'national security'? I mean, is there a rigorous definition of it?
When you listen to public officials talk, they never talk about defending our lives or our freedoms, but always about defending our "national interests".

'Cause depth is the enemy of progress.
Or at least marketing.
Maybe now my e-mails to Tutankhamun will quit bouncing.

At least he seems able to keep bird crap off his face, unlike some other wizards.
Are the accounts "linked?"
...the docs were leaked by spy agencies, because the Metro version is *easier* to spy on?
See also the first entry in this list.
Just so that people stop sending me links to conspiracy theories about it.
Since when did facts put an end to conspiracy theories?
I'm asking more about what happens to DRM'd content that was purchased from Sony's ebook store now that Sony is pulling out (e.g. authorization servers).
