Quite easy, even eaiser these days - all modern dns severs do DNSSEC signing and key re generation for you. You still need to know what to put in the zone files (e.g. which records do what), the O'Reilly book is good, or you can pick it up from wikipedia / the bind admin guide / stack overflow etc..

Quite the opposite. If modern sites had old weak cipher suites enabled then a mitm attack could force your browser to use them (a downgrade attack). Sites that have disabled the old cipher suites are doing the right thing and should be praised for being diligent.

You can use an xmpp client with facebook chat. You can also use an XMPP client with MSN messenger (if you implement microsoft's auth goop). unfortunatly neither facebook or microsoft have enabled federation with there xmpp servers so they are still walled gardens, just walled gardens you can bring your own client to.

XMPP is the way to go, run your own server with ejabberd, prosody or openfire.

We will, via Kickstarter and it's ilk...

You can store certificate fingerprints in dns, and if the dns zone is signed with dnssec you can use it as a trust authority and avoid the whole root CA crazyness. See: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6698 I suspect google dosn't support it tho :(

No it wouldn't of done - if you hack the registrar you can change the ds records as well as the ns records. dnssec makes no difference in this case. browser side certificate pinning and forcing sites to be https only would help - then the attackers wouldn't be able to set up fake sites. The real sites would still be broken tho!

I get:

AOAKN HVPKD FNFJU YIDDC
RQXSR DJHFP EOVFN MIAPX
PABUZ WTYNP CMPNW HJR?H
NLXKE M?M?K ONOIB A???Q
UAOTA RBQRH DJOFM TPZLH
LKXEH REEHT JRZCQ FNKTQ
KLDTS EQIRU AOAKN

The F's are quite square, but the E's are rouned.

note that it starts and ends with AOAKN to tell whoever is decoding it how to generate the key.

I was at an event in London recently about Iranian Internet censorship run by small media: http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2012-09/27/403-forbidden-iranian-internet http://smallmediafoundation.com/ They said that watching which Iranian blogs get censored was a good way of seeing how power struggles were playing out in the Iranian government, and that at the moment right-wing nationalist blogs that were pro-Ahmadinejad were being censored showing that he was increasingly out of favour with the clerics...

Probably one of the Independence war (I-war) series games, which imho had the best plausible sci-fi space combat ever.

With a self replicating lunar factory of course:

With the advances in machine vision and CAD/CAM we have these days it would be fairly straight forward. We might have to ship up a fair amount of fluorine for the metallurgical stuff tho...

Look at the dates on this page:

May 19112? April 19112?

That's a y2k bug, still going strong 12 years later...

They are real, there are still a few out there, and a lot of effort went into finding and fixing the ones you *don't* see.
