The complaint is not that his DNS server does not act appropriately, but that there are providers on the net who run software that cache responses for far longer than the norm. Those folks will have old IP addresses in their cache for anywhere from 24-48 hours (sometimes longer, but that is rare).
Nice try, but DNS round-robin does not frequently work as you suggest. Give it a try, you will find quite a variation in clients on how they respond. More often than not, your going to end up with a timeout.
I'd be more impressed if they DIDN'T modify the TCP stack, and used the PUBLIC Internet.
Internet2 is far from a real production network. I'm sure if I ran 40,000 miles of fiber and interconnected two idle routers and modified my TCP stack to handle massive window sizes and other tweaks, I could get nearly the full line rate, at twice the distance.
Right on, I completely agree. PCI may seem like a gigantic pain in the ass, but if you really knew how many of these online e-commerce systems kept track of your personal information and credit card #'s, you'd be shocked. Unfortunately, even though the PCI policies are clear, and requirements are spelled out, not everyone follows them. The audits required are flimsy at best.
There is significant power loss just in the transmission of power from the production site to the consumer end. Having a power source closer to the consumer end would cut that inefficiency of backhauling power considerably..
I don't see how American Drug companies are playing IP games. TFA clearly states the drug company in negotiations (Baxter) did not require Indonesia to stop submitting samples to the WHO.

I have a feeling the video would be much more interesting...

If you can manage to fit 10,000 laptops into your bag, I applaud you sir.
