Give me a break. Whatever happened to personal responsibility?
Society made cars - but they haven't put automatic brakes on them. Run a red light and you're gonna face the consequences.

A new manager spends a week at his new office with the manager he is replacing. On the last day the departing manager tells him, "I have left three numbered envelopes in the desk drawer. Open an envelope if you encounter a crisis you can't solve."
Three months down the track there is major drama, everything goes wrong - the usual stuff - and the manager feels very threatened by it all.
He remembers the parting words of his predecessor and opens the first envelope. The message inside says "Blame your predecessor!" He does this and gets off the hook.
About half a year later, the company is experiencing a dip in sales, combined with serious product problems. The manager quickly opens the second envelope. The message read, "Reorganize!" This he does, and the company quickly rebounds.
Three months later, at his next crisis, he opens the third envelope. The message inside says "Prepare three envelopes".

For years kids used soapy water to wash the crud off the walls of the Sunset (Hwy 26) tunnels and express their feelings.
One caveat: I haven't gone thorugh the tunnels in question for some time now, so I don't know if it hasn't gotten more destructive or not.
I don't think the ISS is a high-oxygen environment. I'm pretty sure that the pure O2 thing ended with the Shuttle - they decided to go with the (then)Soviet idea of just using fairly normal air.
One word: Vandenberg.
That's where the Polar Orbital flights were supposed to originate. It was built before the Challenger accident - and mothballed immediately thereafter.
I'm using Windows (with Mozilla) at work - because work requires I use Windows.
At home my workstation/server is Mandrake 9.2.
But I rarely read/. at home - so that skews the stats somewhat.
Watching Prince Charming "assault" the castle in full armor.... it was difficult to believe that I wasn't watching a real person. As for the water, I commented to my wife at the time, "They're just showing off now..." Incredible.
Verisign controls the "A" and (I think) "J" root servers, but that's pretty irrelvant to this discussion. Seriously.
What is relevant is that they also control the gTLD root servers for.com and.net - and that's what they plan on running Sitefinder on.
They've even got a contract for it...

The Comanche also used that "funky" ducted fan (It's known as a Fenestron) rear rotor.

Except that everyone else doesn't have the aircraft carrier and the 82d Airborne... much less the power and ability to keep those forces projected for any significant period of time.
Paper receipt... close. Very close.
But what these things need is something as simple as a credit card receipt printer that uses two part forms - the top copy you get, the bottom copy (which isn't torn) gets spooled into secure storage in case of a recount.
That way you know that you've got at least one accurate copy of what happened...
And any clerk who worked at $Store can feed the thing.
Sometime in the future, take a look at how much we actually _hit_ in that medium altitude bombing campaign in Kosovo... from what I've heard, most of it was decoys.

I would imagine the ROI on a Ph.D depends on the Ph.D itself.
A Ph.D in CS or Engineering is probably going to pay off better than one in English (university prof pay isn't that good after all).
Your blanket statement should be analyzed further.

Why not just point at non-Verisign root servers?

Good Question!
Tell me this - do you know of any other server that has the entire
