Even 2011, Venezuela was awful; it just was able to paper it over with huge oil exports. Then the bottom fell out of oil prices and Venezuela's lottery prize ran out.
Would have been nice of summary to tell us that, since if you don't know who the hell "David Lidington" is off the top of your head, it could have been Canada, Australia, or almost any place (but not the USA, since we have an Attorney General instead of a Justice Minister).
Like the parent post said, access to the registry. If an attacker has access to your Windows Registry, you're already screwed. He doesn't need to stage an attack through Word DDE; he already has everything.
Actually, most of them are probably configured via DHCP from the ISP, which serves them up a DNS server address along with the rest of their network configuration.
Common users do expect their provider to provide DNS. This could easily be eliminated if operating systems used a default DNS resolver provided by someone other than the ISPs, but as it is now, users will complain that "the internet is down" if the ISPs don't provide a DNS resolver.
First thing I thought of when I read the summary. "As the FCC would have it, an Internet user actively expects their ISP to provide DNS to them." Yes, they do. They can get DNS elsewhere, but almost everybody expects to get DNS from their ISP and most aren't aware there are other options.
If the research is government funded (which it usually is, at least partially), you can use FOIA against it. If they don't take government money, you can't do it.
Talking about the advancement of civilization and available energy "in the context of the universe" is not the correct context. The advancement of civilization takes place in the context of various small regions of the planet Earth; that is the appropriate context to discuss it in.
I might note that while the universe is generally believed to be a closed system and most theories in use today work from that assumption, it has not been proved to be so, and some theories have been advanced on the assumption that it is not so.
Budgets are human concepts that are irrelevant to nature
On the contrary, budgets are very relevant to nature. All life has to maintain a nitrogen budget, for example. And while humans have had a severe effect on the carbon budget in the atmosphere, it existed long before humans did.
Heard of the Law of Conservation of Energy? Without a basic knowledge of science it's hard to engage in a scientific discussion.
Yes, I've heard of it. It isn't relevant. The Earth is not a closed system (as it is constantly receiving massive amounts of energy from the Sun).And as the OP said, "increasing amount of available energy". There is no Law of Conservation of Available Energy, particularly in a system that is not closed.

Venezuela? Bernie wants us to be like Venezuela? The country is freaking destroying itself! Ah, well, I always knew Bernie was nucking futz.

Then how is it 'OpenSSH"? If it isn't using the Open code, it's just SSH, right?
Actually, the term is "artisanal-mined cobalt". Contrary to what you might think, that's that bad stuff.
You want to advertise how good your lenses are, so you use the name Hubble. Genius.
There's a difference? I wish there was one, but it's not too apparent to me.
VHS is not "film". If that's what you meant, you should have said "tape" or "videotape".
Now I can't get the MUNCHEEs. The FCC is such a buzzkill.
Oh no, there goes Tokyo!
All of which also affect a real digital camera and are much worse on a smartphone camera.
Film is higher-resolution than digital: 35mm is about equivalent to 80 megapixels. Larger formats are even better.

...your email client doesn't automatically download external links. Which is the default behavior of most clients these days.
You mean you don't just take them out behind the barn and shoot them?
"Out of band" does not mean "unscheduled", you dozy twats!

Because when people figured out how to smelt iron, that was the Iron Age.
You think Facebook is about communicating with other people? HAHAHAHA....
...to the term "LOLCats".
