You responded to the wrong posting, strong believer. However based on the other postings to this topic actually there seems to be no proof of deceleration of the speed of light, so it's all mind games.
If the velocity of light is slowing down over time in the past centuries, time in fact must have been accelerating, presupposed space (distance) is constant (ceteris paribus). Otherwise space would have been expanding even more to produce this development in the relation of space and time.
You pointed exactly to the problems. It's about asymmetric information where one knowing about his genetic disadvantages, signs a contract with an insurance which only calculates with average risks. What you got in the end is called adverse selection, where only the people with bad risks choose to insure themself. The only solution is to declare the insurance of this risks mandatory. This doesn't have necessarily to be a sozialized healthcare system. In Switzerland healthcare insurance is mandatory but provided from private insurances, although the states (cantons) pump large amounts of money into the healthcare providers like hospitals and we have the second highest healthcare costs worldwide after the USA. The biggest problem is, that the politicians doesn't provide new rules for the upcoming and inevitable two-class-medicine. They fear this topic, because there's no way not to discriminate some part of the population regarding certain healthcare services.
I recommend http://www.docu-track.com/home/prod_user/pdfx_viewer/ (PDF Xchange Viewer). It's also lean, but you can even edit pdfs with marks, textboxes and comments without any advert tagging for free. I have no connection to this corporation, I just use this product for myself and my clients.
Like Web 2.0 it's more adoption than revolution or invention.
More precise than location based services are item based ones. With http://semacode.org/ and other datamatrix-techologies like http://www.beetagg.com/ you can easily access specific content trough mobile phones.
But this raises privacy problems to a whole new level, because you can be traced via your requested items. No proxies can help here.

So much for microsoft and innovation.
The tie wasn't always useless. It's only a degenerated bib.

That's why I'm not so worried about genetic engineering.
