Verisign Registry's Matt Larson answered this on the NANOG list late Friday:
One other issue: a few people have sent me private email asking if we're planning on changing the 48-hour TTL for NS records and A records in.com/.net. At this point we're not and the reason has a lot to do with a little-known DNS behavior called credibility. It's described in RFC 2181 ("Clarifications to the DNS Specification"), Section 5.4.1, although the concept pre-dates that RFC and has been in the BIND iterative resolver, for example, since version 4.9 (if memory serves).
In a nutshell, DNS data has different levels of credibility or trustworthiness depending on where it's learned from. That's relevant here because the version of a zone's NS records from the zone's authoritative servers is more trustworthy than the version obtained from the zone's parent name servers. For example, the foo.com NS records received from a foo.com authoritative server are believed over the foo.com NS records received from a.com name server. Most "positive" responses include the zone's NS records along with the specific data requested (such as an A record). So in practice, here's what happens:
- - An iterative resolver chasing down, for example, A records for
www.foo.com queries a.com name server and caches the foo.com NS
records (with a 48-hour TTL) it receives.
- - The resolver then queries one of the foo.com name servers for the
www.foo.com A records.
- - In the response the resolver receives the www.foo.com A records,
along with foo.com's own version of the foo.com NS records--and this
is the important part--which have the TTL set by the foo.com zone
owner.
- - According to the credibility scale, the just-received foo.com NS
records are more credible than the cached foo.com NS records from.com, so the just-received records displace the cached ones, new TTL
and all.
In other words, for all the iterative resolvers out there that have this credibility mechanism, the 48-hour TTL on data in.com/.net isn't particularly relevant.
My company works with the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (the folks who print the bills). The Bureau issues transparent vinyl purses and packs for employees to carry their lunch and belongings. This makes it easier to see whether somebody is walking off with sheets of un-cut currency.
We also worked with the US Mint (the folks who mint the coinage). They told a story about metal detectors tied to biometrics that were so sensitive that when a woman became pregnant, the changes in the metal chemistry of her blood (increased iron, etc...) were enough to have to retake the biometric scan. That one always seemed apocryphal to me (but a very cool concept nonetheless).
As a corporate customer and home customer for the past 8 years, I've dealt with my fair share of Dell shennanigans. Whether it was the Wang support guy that we had to have escorted off the premises by security of the script-readers in Bangalore, we've had every miserable Dell experience imagineable. BUT, the problems get resolved eventually.
Considering Akamai hosts the web sites for the like of the White House, FBI, and Dept of Homeland Security (among other gov't agencies), an Akamai outage is slightly more than "nothing to see here." Unless you are making a political statement, I guess.
Precisely what I mean. All us 4 to low-6-digit types should band together instead of squabbling with one another. After all, we supported Slashdot through it's adolescence, through CmdrTaco's stock options, through the Karma cap, the removal of the Karma score. There are people out there that never knew Slashdot had a Karma score. Turn against those, brother, not against me.
Besides I had a four-digit account but hated the resentment that came after 2000. And I lost my password.

People who buy a book only after it has become a major motion picture are tag-alongers not true-believers. Tag-alongers deserve noting but our ultimate scorn. True-believers have been there since the beginning and are worthy of our undying affection and respect. It is only the power of the true-believer that has allowed this book to become a major motion picture. Everybody else is a free-loader who can bring no insight or value to this proposition.
Other examples of this phenomenon are:
LOTR (obviously)
Harry Potter (When did you read Sorcerer's Stone)
My Slashdot ID is lower than yours (Sub-groups here are 3-digit, 4-5 digit, low 6 digit IDs)
People who had to watch Soprano's Season 1 after Season 2.
People who first watched the Matrix on DVD.
Anyone born after Carter left office.
Apparently, the comic book scene (which I know nothing about), is chock-full of this ninniness too.
The list could go on. My lunch break, alas, can not.

The Confusion is a better read, if you can get through Quicksilver. And the complaint I've heard most often is that people couldn't get through Quicksilver. If you do make it through, you are in for a real treat. The Confusion was a page-turner in the way that Stephenson's best writing has been.
My fear is that, if this is Empire, we end up getting Ewoks in Book 3.
The poster I replied to was whining that the anti-gay agenda neglects to mention Turing was gay despite the fact that the article says so in the first paragraph.
I also don't think it's necessary for the parent story to say "Alan Turing, the Gay Inventor of Software". My sense is that people prefer not to be labeled. For example, "User 'An Elephant', a (gay|straight) (man|woman) from (Vermont|Israel), posts comments on Slashdot two to three times a year." Explain to me how your sexual preference, gender, location are relevant? They're not. In due time, I would come to find out that 'An Elephant' is a (gay|straight) (man|woman) from (Vermont|Israel). Or does your business card read (Gay|Straight) UI Engineer?
As to your point of whether homosexuality is relevant to a Turing Test: In Turing's original proposal, the human participants had to pretend to be the other gender, and the test was limited to a five-minute conversation. These features are nowadays not considered to be essential and are generally not included in the specification of the Turing test [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_test].
I'm not sure why that is not considered relevant today, I can imagine that a scenario that includes a gender-factor is more likely to be considered by somebody who more often considers sexuality. However, I don't think that's limited to British gay men.
I don't think Turing's only contribution to society was that he was a gay genius; his contribution was that he was a genius.
I don't how it's relevant to discuss Alan Turing's sexuality in the context of his contributions to computer science.
Maybe you' dlike to see somthing like this:
BusinessWeek celebrates its anniversary with a series of articles about the great gay and straight thinkers and innovators from the past 75 years. The series stars with a profile of Alan Turing, "Thinking Up Computers." In case you forgot, Turing is the gay man who created the concept of an "universal machine" which would perform various and diverse actions when given various sets of instructions. In other words, he laid out in the 1920s the foundations of software. You'll find the introduction of Turing's profile, plus more details, photographs and references in this overview."
Alan Turing's being gay was certainly an important part of his life. After all, the persectution he suffered contributed to his death. But to have to label him right off the bat everytime his name is uttered is absurd.
In any case, had you read past the title and ad, you'd have come across the FIRST PARAGRAPH which reads:
The rarefied world of early 20th-century mathematics seems light years away from today's PCs and virtual-reality video games. Yet it was a 1936 paper by Cambridge University mathematician Alan M. Turing that laid the foundation for the electronic wonders now crowding into every corner of modern life. In a short and eventful life, Turing also played a vital role in World War II by helping crack Germany's secret codes -- only to be persecuted later for his homosexuality.
