Climate change is simply a variable that we'll adapt with through technology. Getting pushed out of our comfort zone is a good thing. Without winter and droughts the human race would still be frolicking in jungles with spears and arrows wearing loin cloths. Winter and lack of water has made us stronger, and resulted in technology development.

Peak oil will come and go, just as peak wood did before coal and oil were discovered.

A global government, shared economy, is like California trying to manage forest fires. The more humans tinker with the system to remove the highs and lows, the bigger the inevitable crash that will come, just as California experienced the largest fires in history after years spent tweaking the system, resulting in keeping too much undergrowth, instead of allowing nature to take its course. Wars are no different than forest fires. It's OK to compete. Every species does this, humans are no different.

The much bigger issue is population growth. Through increased population resources are depleted at an increasing rate, potentially faster than technology advances will accommodate. Where technology is unable to solve the challenges presented through population growth, we're likely to experience huge losses through famine, disease, and war.

The best thing for earth is more war. Culling the herd isn't evil. With cheap energy our population will continue to sky rocket, while resources are finite. There's no sense to everybody holding hands singing Kumbaya; somebody has to win, and somebody has to lose. We see that now in Europe. The ants should not be forced to carry the grasshoppers. The UN and EU are delaying the inevitable. The intellectuals from the early 20th century got it wrong. We need fierce competition among nations. The tribes must remain at war to keep the population under control. There are winners and losers, there is no middle ground. Economics is just another approach to war, and the current method of pulling down the strong so the weak can rise up is foolish - we're not all safer as equals, we're better off with highs and lows, rich exploiting poor. America should dominate, our system has proven to be a winner. When we clash with competing interests, war is the natural flow of things. Peace is impossible so long as different tribes are squabbling over the same dirt. Why allow the poor nations to rise up as equals...just so we can compete with stronger opponents? Why wait until the poor attain nuclear, nano, bio, and space technologies that could enable their dominance over America? We're on top of the mountain. It's our right to beat down any who try to climb to the peak. If we don't, we'll simply get thrown off and somebody else will beat down others. We're at least trying to do the beating in a humane fashion...aren't we?

The article is just the tip of the iceberg... The military has used this material (ACell, made from pig bladders) successfully on multiple soldiers and recently on my retired Army spouse. The plastic surgery and wound care clinics at the NNMC in Bethesda are using this pixie dust with great results! It boosts the body's ability to heal and regenerate multiple tissue types, from skin to muscle, fat, etc. Good stuff. It'll become more widely available in civilian care as word gets out. The medical industry is surprisingly slow to spread new techniques and technologies as so many doctors operate independently, whereas in the military there's a top-down approach that sometimes works faster to deploy new methods -- generally during times of war such as the current tempo of 2007-2011.

Civilian health care is scary...so many independent contractors, very much a bet on organized chaos. You can find excellent health care in America, but you can also find less than best...it's a lot like picking up day-workers, auto-mechanics, or restaurants, in terms of quality/cost/risk - for every hero you find there's at least one putz you want to avoid next time. Definitely strive to be your own advocate or find a friend who can be your advocate and perform research to double-check what the doctors are doing. Recommend new technologies, get a second opinion, and you'll often find there are a lot more options available than you may hear from the first doctor you encounter at the local urgent care center or ER.

DVL is effectively the Crash Test Dummy for Linux.

FTA: "subterranean nuclear blasts were used as much as 169 times in the Soviet Union to accomplish fairly mundane tasks like creating underground storage spaces for gas or building canals"

In Soviet Russia, they built stuff with nuclear explosions.

What products are submitting keys upstream on change?

It's a shame the market didn't go down the DNSCurve (http://dnscurve.org/) road before DNSSEC. DNSSEC as it is currently implemented presents a significant challenge for DNS admins as their job just got more complicated while the tools are still barely capable. BIND with DNSSEC enabled for signing zones and updating your upstream TLD isn't set-it-and-forget-it so I don't see widespread adoption until the implementations are solved with easy point-and-click, set-it-once solutions.

Signing yourdomain.com requires you and .com to perform a transaction (registrar will perform on behalf of .com) that must recur at some interval for KSK and ZSK updates.

Deploying DNSSEC in response to cache poisoning is a lot like deploying TSA to protect the airports. Taking your shoes off and putting toothpaste in a little plastic baggie are kludges.
