For a while the question from my perspective has been how long until we live in a panopticon not what can I do to keep privacy on the web ? The results in the article are pretty obvious, the only way to keep information secret about yourself seems to become a hermit and use technologies from two centuries ago.
Whenever I see titles like these ( Teach yourself X in ZY [days|hours|minutes|seconds] ) I always think of this article http://www.norvig.com/21-days.html
To add to the examples, it seems the US only wants people extradited when it's convenient.

How would changing packaging to paper help with the dumping plastic issues ? Recently I heard about managed forests and on the surface it sounds good since the forest stays in place and it's cut down to make paper products and also replenished at the same time. I cringe every time I have to throw a plastic/glass container in the trash (and no, there's no recycling program where I live).
I learned English from TV (the TV where I lived was subtitled not overdubbed), games, and reading books. I also I have a better than average understanding of Italian from (I assume) watching Italian TV without subtitles as a kid. I can understand most Italian (90%) but cannot string together a single phrase. My native language is Romanian and as such is 70% percent similar to Italian. However, I know a lot of people who do not understand Italian even though they speak Romanian as a native language. In English I am very fluent - better than the average native speaker from test scores and interaction with native speakers.
So I think TV, books, games, etc do help even in the absence of native speakers.
Actually an object will heat up less on reentry if it is blunt because there will be a bigger cushion of air between the aircraft and the shock front.. Early ballistic missiles had a round (blunt) tip made of plywood which chars slowly in order to prevent the destruction of the payload on reentry.

I think the issue is similar to vaccination http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccination where you will have a small part of the population vaccinated have adverse effects or die from the vaccine. However, this is risk worth taking because if the population were to be unvaccinated many more people will die or have after effects of the disease.
This is how I see it:
In the experiment you set up you assume the environment is the New Zealand dome. But as soon as you invoke a corrupter that is able to change the dome you environment increases to include the corrupter. Therefor if you would kill all animals in the dome and put polar bears that sweat their ass off than you would then the evolution still applies, but not from the environment but from you. When you decide that the fluffy/cuddly/ass sweating/whatever trait is required for the animals to be left in the dome you will be doing the same thing as the environment, with the only exception that you are conscious of your choice. The corruption of the experiment is evolutive pressure.
Since you are doing the same thing as the environment the premise that the experiment is flawed (and should present a way to be falsified) doesn't stand to scrutiny.
However, you problem still stands, is evolution falsifiable ?
It seems the standard has improved a little bit also. http://acid3.acidtests.org/ now reports 67% instead of 61% for the previous beta. It actually reported 66% on first opening the page and then on each subsequent refresh 67%.
some relevant quotes
"Boeing has already been paid $20.6 million for the pilot project, and in December, the DHS gave the firm another $65 million to replace the software with military-style, battle management software. "
"Boeing has said that the initial effort, while flawed, still has helped Homeland Security apprehend 2,000 illegal immigrants since September"
A quick division $85 600 000 / 2 000 gives $42 800 per illegal immigrant. And this is the cost to the taxpayer without personnel salaries and other expenses, just what was payed to Boeing. I strongly doubt that each illegal immigrant, if not apprehended, will cost the US tax payers $42 800.
What. A. Crappy. List.
I usually just lurk around here but I thought I might provide my input for once.
This is off the top of my head and in not particular order.
Please feel free to add to this list.
1. Nanoassembler
2. Renewable, plentiful, and cheap energy
3. Space elevator and/or permanent off-planet colony (the all eggs in one basket thing)
4. Personalized medicine
5. Hard AI
6. Invisible man-machine interfaces
As a matter of fact, the police has released a FAQ which quite directly suggests that since there are so many sites on the internet it doesn't matter if a few of them are blocked.
That is similar to saying "since there are so many people in the world it doesn't matter if we censor a few voices".
