Long time freezing, short time melting

In what is a profound visual display of the earth’s increasingly warmer temperatures, glacial ice in the Andes that took a minimum of 1600 years to form has melted drastically in a mere 25 years, leaving behind a large pool of water framed by exposed rock and diminished beds of ice. As the ice melts, plants from thousands of years ago are being freed. Thanks a lot, big polluters. You really did the earth a solid there. But enough about that because hacking collective Anonymous has apparently selected its next high-profile target, in the shape of any sites or social network accounts related to North Korea, seizing control of Flickr and Twitter pages in the process. The activists cracked the Uriminzokkiri accounts and uploaded images of their own, in addition to claiming to have extracted 15,000 usernames and passwords from the site. Anonymous’ goal appears to be loosening the restrictions on internet access North Koreans face from their government, and I hope they can meet that goal.
