  1. Funny thing is on Quantum Cryptography Ready For Wide Adoption? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    by definition Quantum cryptography can not be run on real networks were you have to do things like routing.

  2. Deal with it on More Bad News About Global Warming · · Score: 1

    Whether you believe humans are causing global warming, or don't effect it.

    It's going to happen, so instead of bitching about it we can actually adapt to it.

    Volcanic venting releases more than 130 million tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere every year http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/Hazards/What/VolGas/volg as.html

    We can begin to breed crops that are more resistant to drought and heat (which we already do anyhow http://www-saps.plantsci.cam.ac.uk/articles/broad_ biotec.htm)

    Of course plants being more resistant to drought and heat would happen naturally because the plants that weren't would die leaving room for the ones that were to take over the land (natural selection :p), but we as humans can and have been speeding up the process.

    Also no massive tidal wave is going to just overtake our coastal cities; we will have plenty of time to move out of the way of the raising water.

    One street that can be looked at as well is with higher global temps, there will be higher global evaporation, which in turn will raise global precipitation.
