Ahh. Point. I didn't realize that ISC support provided notifications in advance.

I am 100% with you up until you say, "I'm amazed how many people run large, production name servers on BIND yet don't have a cheap support contract. If you run BIND, rather than getting your alerts via /. look into a support contract so you get them directly from the vendor."
I have a couple issues with this. The first is simply that it's perfectly reasonable to expect a good UNIX admin to handle BIND without issue for generalist deployments. The other issue I have is that you don't need a support contract to get these alerts. Sign up for the bind-announce mailing list (link: https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-announce).
Again, I'm totally with you up until the end there.
Woman Develops Peanut Allergy After Lung Transplant 146
An anonymous reader writes "A woman in need of a lung transplant got her new lungs from someone with a peanut allergy who died of anaphylactic shock. Seven months after the surgery, the woman was at an organ transplant support group when she ate a peanut butter cookie and had a violent allergic reaction. So how had the woman's new lungs brought along a peanut allergy? A blog post dives into the medical details and explains that immune cells in the donated lungs couldn't have lived in the new body for long enough to cause the reaction... however, if they encountered an allergen (i.e. something peanuty) shortly after being transplanted, they could have trained the woman's native immune cells to respond."
