    It may be that the same thing is mentioned twice in a very short summary of the story, but that the same thing is mentioned twice in a very short summary of the story does obfuscate the lack of content. That is why the same thing is mentioned twice in a very short summary of the story. Why else would it be that the same thing is mentioned twice in a very short summary of the story?

    What does this even mean? Is it the same 0-day? Is it a different 0-day? Can we get some editing up in this bitch or what?

    With Microsoft you can make every day a 0 day!
