Actually, this is EXACTLY the proper way to set up DNS. Computers on my network query my DNS server, it in turn queries root servers and caches the queries so there are fewer outbound name lookups. That's how it's done on corporate networks. No one I know uses their ISP's DNS servers. Well except for home users.
Besides, I have an AD domain. It HAS TO have a local DNS server in order to function correctly.
My DNS server queries root servers directly, so any poisoning by an ISP would not affect my home network.
The Site Finder stunt NetSol/Verisign pulled a few years ago, that was done on the root servers, wasn't it? That was a lot more disruptive than an ISP creating a catch-all DNS zone on their little DNS boxes.
John Sinclair: "No. We have to stay here, and there's a simple reason why. Ask ten different scientists about the environment, population control, genetics - and you'll get ten different answers. But there's one thing every scientist on the planet agrees on: whether it happens in a hundred years, or a thousand years, or a million years, eventually our sun will grow cold, and go out. When that happens, it won't just take us, it'll take Marilyn Monroe, and Lao-tsu, Einstein, Maruputo, Buddy Holly, Aristophanes - all of this. All of this was for nothing, unless we go to the stars."
Not a General. One Colonel Philip J. Corso claimed to have been a head of a secret government team in charge of recovering technology from crashed alien craft, reverse engineering it, and releasing the results to various US-based tech companies. He claimed that kevlar, night vision, fiber-optic cables, lasers, integrated circuits, etc... were all reverse engineered from crashed alien saucers.
Except, of course, development of all those technologies can be traced all the way back. Some folk spent their entire careers developing that stuff, and it is pretty much a preposterous claim that this Colonel had anything to do with it. He didn't.
Want to build a high tech house? Don't use wood. What the hell is it with people building homes out of wood anyway??? Wood rots, burns, gets eaten by insects and ants, etc etc...
Install solar panels on the roof, and wind power in the back yard.
Don't run too many cables (except for power). Use wireless. It is only going to get better/faster.
Home automation rocks too. Just don't use X-10. I have an X-10 system. It sucks ass. Try to build your own around WiFi or Bluetooth so you can control the house from a PDA or cell phone. Bonus points if you incorporate voice activation.
Next time a big one hits, just move all your stuff to the top floor in case of flooding, and ride it out.
No power anything, no heated seats, no GPS, nothing. Just the frame, the tub, the engine, power trane (tranny, transfer case, axles, suspension, drive shafts...), wheels, two front seats, pedals, steering, and the instrument cluster. I even had the stereo taken out to keep honest people honest when the top is off.
And you know what? It's not only fine, but it is comfortable and it is the most fun vehicle to drive...
I have made a 3.5" floppy with DOS 5.0 and Win 3.0. (Most of it anyway; some extras like paint etc wouldn't fit.) There was even enough room left on the floppy for the sysinternals NTFS driver for DOS! I can boot off this floppy and access the HD.
I've originally planned to use it as a recovery disk for systems that won't boot. But I've since found a much better use for it: pranks. There's nothing like watching someone jump when Windows 3 boots on their brand new Dell.
No, the original article is correct. Average fatality rate is just under 10%.
Actually, prior to commercialization of Everest around 1990, the fatality rate was an unbelievable 37%.
But since about 1990, various commercial outfits have started taking paying climbers to the Everest summit. Everest is now a multi million dollar business! Climbers are supported by experienced sherpas, and the various expeditions have fixed permanent ropes and ladders up on the Everest. That's 1) reduced fatalities and 2) allowed many more (relatively inexperienced) climbers to climb the summit. So the average fatality rate has dropped to about 10%.
Everest has become a zoo in the past 15 years or so. There's garbage all over the mountain (equipment, oxygen bottles, etc...). Ropes and ladders are fixed in place to help with the more technical climbs. Dead bodies litter the very paths to the summit.
Causes of death vary wildly. Some climbers are killed on lower slopes of the mountain by avalanches or by falling into crevasses. Others slip and fall hundreds or thousands of feet on the more technical climbs higher up on the mountain. Others still succumb to frostbite. Some get altitude sickness above 26,000 feet, lose their reasoning abilities and sometimes vision and motor skills, and just get stuck and die up there. Some return to BC only to keel over in their tent and die.
Everest could own you, no matter how experienced you think you are.

No, we can't do that. The Apollo artifacts left on the Moon are just too small. Even the mighty Hubble does not have the resolution necessary to resolve Apollo stuff.
The ESA lunar probe SMART-1 was in lunar orbit for a while, and it too was not able to resolve Apollo landing sites. But SMART-1 did capture lunar terrain in detail never before possible, except for the pictures taken on the surface of the moon by the Apollo astronauts. The terrain matched the Apollo pictures perfectly, so yeah we've been there. Not that *I've* ever had any doubt.

Is it acceptable for someone to follow me around town with a little notebook and write down every place I go to, every store I shop in, everything I buy? No. That would be considered stalking.

Or is it because the politicians "don't get" the Internet?
Glass and metal pyramid with no wood in its construction whatsoever. Maybe three floors, plus a basement. Auto tinting windows. Bluetooth (or future equivalent) locks and remote controls. All lights, locks and appliances should be controllable from my cell/handheld AND from a Web application. The house would know when I came home, and it would turn on the lights and unlock the front door.
Metal and glass furniture. Large LCD screens and surround sound in every room (except rooms like storage, bathroom, server room etc...) Dedicated guest room. Server room in the basement so the heat and the noise aren't felt in the house. A library of classic literature. Green house garden.
Self sustaining utilities. Hydroelectric AND wind AND solar power. Or a (small) nuclear reactor if The Man lets me have one. My own sewer system. Satellite connectivity.
Astronomical observatory at the very top of the pyramid. Radio towers/antennas next to the house. (I've always wanted to try radio astronomy.)
My own runway for small general aviation aircraft, with a taxiway right up to the house. Runway doesn't have to be very long. I want to say a helo pad too, but I'm a fixed wing pilot.
The house should be at least 10 miles away from the nearest neighbor.
