The Netherlands is well on its way to follow the UK.
Just a few days ago the Dutch government agreed on a new law that requires ISPs to store all communication endpoints for a year.
There are also things like the Christians in the government trying to force their views on life upon the rest of the citizens, the arrest of a Dutch cartoonist, the introduction of all sorts of insane taxes and laws using terrorism and climate change as an excuse and the rise of extreme political correctness to the point where it gets ridiculous.
I'd remove The Netherlands from your list if I were you.
And you need other nameservers to implement it, but the authors of at least two of those (djbdns and PowerDNS) don't think it's worth the effort.
You can read their motivations here and here.
In my opinion web developers just don't know enough about security.
They know how to store and retrieve data from a database, but they don't know why it's important to escape strings before they go to into a SQL query (or better: use parameterized queries). It happens too often that when you see some page: view.php?id=23 and you change 23 to 23', it returns an error. Although a lot of developers are 'saved' by PHP's magic quotes, it isn't a silver bullet.
Even less web developers seem to know about XSS and how to prevent it.
Web security should get a lot more attention in web developer education, from SQL injection to XSS to salted hashes.
It has an authoritive component and a recursive one, both work extremely well and are in use by some big companies, as well as the Wikipedia and the.TK TLD.
As for flexibility: PowerDNS uses backends to retrieve its zone data, so you can use one that's already available (MySQL, BIND zone files, SQLite, ODBC, etc.) or write one yourself.
My suggestion for new tasks: Serve videos linked from the slashdot frontpage, serve videos linked from the slashdot frontpage and serve videos linked from the slashdot frontpage.
Apparently somebody hides their secrets an order of magnitude better than Apple. Really - what big tech launches do you expect? Vista been launched, all the "new gen" consoles been launched. What do you expect? Teleportation devices?

It's not the size that matters, it's how you use it!
Seriously, let me use GTA: San Andreas as an example. I finished that game months ago, but I still play it occasionally. There's nothing better than causing some nice explosions, steal a few cars and beating up some hookers after a frustrating day at work.
I love the freedom GTA: SA gives me and I'd probably buy more games that offer me that.

They might have been slow with this patch, but boy does it look good!
I've always found the Joint Strike Fighter's coding standards document an interesting read. It is available from Bjarne Stroustrup's website (pdf)

You forgot that when you change the volume of winamp, it changes the master volume of your PC.
What do they want to do when no one signs this? Fire every scientist? Not going to happen.

So... how much did this slashvertisement cost your family? :)
We didn't even have ONE girlfriend, let alone an ex, you insensitive clod!

I'm not sure if this is the posting, but it is posted by Keith Henson in 2001 and has "Tom Cruise missile" in it.
Why don't you give PowerDNS a try?
.TK TLD.

Oh and it's opensource

I bet they are printing a new webserver right now.
I discovered one between the buttcheeks of some guy called Goatse, but that doesn't make slashdot, now does it?
The only thing I see in the sky atm is an orange glow. Could it be a burning webserver?
What's next? Banning computer generated or drawn beastiality?
That would mean the tentacles have to go too!
Example: There aren't any silhouettes of naked girls in Casino Royale's intro! I'll now have to watch pr0n to get my fix.
Yes dad, that's cool and all, but there are also loads of people making fun of our name.

Geez! What's next? Paying for live sex on the internet? Oh wait...
Blizzard buys it and then shuts it down to eliminate the competition. It is evil, but hey, it has been done before and they have cash-a-plenty.
