Everybody's doing it. Just throw up a web site and charge European tourists $3000 per week to drive all over creation and get their grub at the Elk City Waffle House.
It's all good fun so far but sooner or later somebody is going to be driving the wrong way down the interstate like the douchebag producer in the Discovery Channel show and take out a car full of my Okie relatives.
Run BIND with DNSSEC and point your resolver to localhost. That's actually the way God, or whoever, intended it to be run.
In practice, most organizations will run a local recursive "trusted" BIND server with DNSSEC behind a firewall just like they do now. Eventually substantial numbers of ISPs will do so too. No one does not because something like 0.01% of.com domains are DNSSEC-ified.
It should be no more difficult that setting up HTTPS was, of course it only took 10 years or so to get that out of the hands of the security high priests.
I am sure DJB's proposal holds merit. But engineering is also about what can be done. If you are paranoid about the NSA redirecting your domain to a porn site, you probably should be worrying about far worse things instead.
In other words, try getting a full time job as a dissident journalist in China, Burma, or Cuba. Or see what happens when you try to mail order a printing press or TV station or even a copy machine. Since "professional journalists" are tools of the state in these countries, the internet is all they've got.
As for your average blogger whingeing about freedom, well, if any citizen can be a journalist then your average thug in prison can call himself a journalist, right?
In fact TFA seems to have done its homework and doesn't seem to be exaggerating the professional bona fides of any of these people. You might argue they have inflated the numbers for China, most of those people are "activists", and yes, any idiot can lie down in the middle of the street and call themselves an "activist", but in China, journalists need to be approved by the state, so the concept of a "professional journalist" in China is a pretty much bogus.
Isn't that touted as a privacy feature? You want wide angle viewing in your HDTV, but at the airport you don't want the guy sitting next to you to see everything on your screen.
>> what do they do, dig through your trash before they throw it on the truck??
San Francisco has new law implementing this, and a $1000 fine for putting the wrong stuff in the wrong bin. Like most stupid laws of this type, it is impossible to enforce uniformly and useful only annoy neighbors and punish political enemies.
My 22db gain yagi says "phffft" to the inverse square law!
Actually, if the protocol were fast enough, you could use the time delay of propagation to make performance degrade really rapidly after a certain distance, in much the same way ethernet falls apart once you exceed a certain distance. Radio waves travel take all of 1/10 of a nanosecond to go 3 cm. That's an eternity by some design standards.
I put "wondering why Facebook is blocking bugmenot.com in the text of postings" in my status and it showed up everywhere.
Maybe if the poster didn't surround his postings with "Facebook needs to be [abusive language filtered] in the [abusive language filtered] with a [abusive language filtered]" it would have a better chance of getting through the filters.
Management complexity? I can create a RAID5 filesystem with one statement, and then yank disks around to my heart's content without typing anything to initiate a rebuild, and without waiting hours for a rebuild. At least on Solaris, ZFS's RAID5 performance is way faster than any volume manager I've encountered. You can do thin provisioning, dual parity. You currently *can't* grow RAID5 volumes. I've become a fanboy.
Sooner or later I think it will get ported. It's available on BSD and only held up on Linux because of some legal pissing match between Sun and NetApp.
If I were setting up some kind of storage appliance, I'd seriously consider OpenSolaris just for ZFS support (or BSD, I just don't know much about BSD's support for FC, iSCSI, NFS at this point). OpenSolaris is not much more complicated, considering all the cruft that is starting to accrue on Linux to supposedly make it "easier" to work with.
Android will crush you all, it won't have a kill switch. We underestimate the General Magic heritage. It was a pretty cool device, I knew a guy who knew a guy who knew a guy who had one.
There is tons of this stuff for sale cheap on Ebay.
If your maintenance budget is only $50, though, maybe you should have stuck with Cat-V. The equipment for terminating and connecting fiver is much more expensive than for UTP, and considerable skill is required to do it right.
A sailboat near mine caught on fire in the marina way back when. When firefighters responded, it turned out the guy had been saving his own urine for several years. OK - who's the rookie wants to put that one out!
All you inconsiderate clods! Shooting your mouth off before you even know what kind of chemicals he had.
The quality of TSA staff varies from location to location. Las Vegas and San Francisco have top notch TSA staff. Since a large percentage of Americans like to play with guns, a given TSA line in a gun crazy part of the US like Nevada or Texas probably sees powder residue on dozens of people or their luggage each day. It's perfectly legal to ship a gun in your checked luggage as long as you declare it.
You may not have such luck with Customs. Although some of them are very good a sizing you up with one look, they are much more highly trained than TSA staff, and they have dogs to sniff out various harmful substances like bombs, drugs, and vegetables. Yep, YMMV.
Sorry, denying a disgruntled employee the right to retaliate against their employer is a human rights violation not only in San Francisco, but in any government job anywhere. Douchebags and dumbasses are special people, how else would they get jobs?

North Dakota is 2-dimensional, you insensitive clod!
IRdA is slow as hell.
This will be much faster, and secure, assuming they can find a way for radio waves to travel 3 cm and then stop themselves.
Of course, a towel provides effective IRdA security.

Yep - a boring, middle of the road public figure shilling for a boring, middle of the road, operating system. It's an OS about - nothing!
I'm much more interested in seeing what OS Larry David or Frank Costanza would shill for.

Uniform, frictionless cows at standard temperature and pressure DOES make them much easier to locate with Google Cow Finder (TM).
Every other American protester so far has been, basically, taken to the airport and deported.

This guy needs some help.

Occasionally a ham radio operator interested in UHF will take one off your hands. Check with a local radio club.
Or start a Mongolian BBQ.
.. you get fired, and then legitimately get hired back as a $500 per hour contractor.
