While some tests have been run with simple off-the-shelf-hardware, in most cases the 10Gbps connections will be shared amongst a cluster of machines or a high-end machine.
For some relevant projects actually using NLR right now: TeraGrid OptIPuter
One of the suggested uses of the network is for transport of high-resolution medical images. Here's a situation where today, there simply isn't enough bandwidth to even consider some of the applications (remote visualization/manipulation of these images). So having this level of dedicated bandwidth isn't about making efficient use, it's about enabling entire classes of research that simply aren't possible given existing bandwidth constraints.
You clearly don't understand how DNS works. This change in no way requires a new zone 96 times a day. The TTL field is used by client accessing the zone to understand when they need to stop caching the retrieved data. Verisign could have a TTL of 15 minutes and never change the serial number, and nothing would break.
To an extent. The biggest differences (as cited in the article) are pg's support for transactions, subselects, and foreign keys, all of which mysql is currently lacking (though transaction support is available in the development tree now)...
Also they are free to define extensions to standard sql, which at least mysql does in a number of cases.
By registering a machine on the CMU network, students explicitly agree to a set of guidelines including very direct statements about the distribution of copyrighted music, software, etc. This was merely an enforcement of these guidelines.
Search & seizure is _not_applicable_ in this case, since CMU is a private institution and students give up a number of rights by attending.
In a few cases, students were removed when they were sharing legitimate MP3s (bands that allow live recordings, for example). In these cases, network access was promptly restored.
Carnegie Mellon has determined and operates under the knowledge that it is _not_ a common carrier. This crackdown does not change that (and in fact, if they had not made an effort, it is not unreasonable to think they could be held liable for the material, anyway.) In general, CMU attempts to respond to complaints of illegal content/material on computing systems and does not actively scan for this material.

Assuming your heimdal is built without kerberos4 compatibility. See: http://www.pdc.kth.se/heimdal/
Also, note that the vulnerability is not just theoretical.
