Zero-day exploit is an exploit used or released before the vulnerability is published (or if not published, a fixed version or patch is released). First-day exploit is an exploit used or released within a day after vulnerability is published, etc.
You replaced headphones cable without replacing headphones themselves? Really?
(i.e. whenever I put my laptop on the nightstand).
Laptop picked it, not headphones. If your halogen lamp has a stand that affects anything sound-related, it must be a low-voltage lamp with transformer in the base. Magnetic field from transformer is picked up by the amplifier in the laptop. Results may vary depending on the impedance and sensitivity of the headphones, or position of gain/volume control. I have cheap amplified speakers with analog volume control knob that is absolutely useless thanks to the poor choice of the potentiometer for that knob -- when it is not at maximum, its input impedance is too high, so it picks up all kinds of interference. Set it to maximum, and lower impedance of power amplifier shorts the interference while keeping the signal.
Each and every popular uprising, if successful, establishes yet another kind of aristocracy. In rare situations when new aristocracy is relatively benign compared to old one, the uprising or movement lasted long enough that simply blocking information on it in media wouldn't have any effect on it in the first place. It's a selection mechanism, and a pretty good one. When it doesn't work, you have "successful movements" like your stupid Tea Party.
Microsoft has a history of inventing names and acronyms that collide with established terms in unrelated areas. I suspect, they are trying to get potential users to see a new name as something they have heard but know nothing about its actual meaning, so term looks "established" in those people's eyes.
That's merely a result of conditioning and imitation -- bears were able to get food by opening cans and seen other bears doing so, so they treat cans as a food source.
If you have a very short cable, no difference is likely to be heard, but stretch that out to a few meters, it's possible that the overall impedance of the cheap cable can result in it behaving as a filter, and starting to attenuate higher frequencies, and if it's resistance is high, it alters the impedance matching of the amp/headphones, reducing efficiency and introducing other undesirable performance characteristics.
Headphones have input impedance from tens to hundreds ohms. "Matching" of the output for such load amounts to keeping it below 120 ohm. Do you seriously expect 4-12 feet of wire -- any wire that is not an unrolled capacitor, Christmas tree decoration, metal-coated thread or something equally ridiculous -- to have resistance and capacitance that forms any kind of meaningful filter with that?!
Through what? Both amplifier output and speaker have very low impedance. Anything that picks interference through capacitance is an equivalent of connecting another low-voltage (wires are close to each other, they pick difference in potential between their locations) and very high-impedance (low capacitance, audio frequency) output in parallel. Induction depends on magnetic field going through cross-section of the loop formed by wires -- if that was noticeable, speaker wires would be twisted.
who uses shielded cable between the output and the speakers?
1. Headphone cable. 4-12 feet with few tens or hundreds ohms of load. 2. Interference you can hear in speakers is picked at the input of an amplifier, or over power rails. Computer speakers are amplified, with high input impedance and bad power filtering -- this has nothing to do with cables.
I bought the $200 headphone cable for my $400 headphones back when I had money to burn (ah the good ole days). Was it noticeably better than the $12 cable that comes with the headphones? yes. was it $188 better? Hell fucking no. not in my opinion anyway.
No. Headphone cables have no effect on sound (as long as they are not torn or shorted).
We came from animals and maintain our animal nature in everything we do. There is no reason it should exclude "reasoning." And we have known for quite some time that belief trumps fact. [motherjones.com]
But animals don't have beliefs in the first place. Behavior that we recognize as primitive can be still specific to humans, just developed early enough in human history.
I can assure you, those things have absolutely nothing to do with someone "having problems" with memory management. If you do it wrong, you will still do it wrong regardless of tools, features, methods and ideologies involved. The point is, you have to understand what you are doing, not choose the tools or follow the instructions that supposedly will do it for you.
Get it through your thick American skulls -- plenty of people will happily sacrifice some of their freedom if it means that people much worse than them won't get those freedoms, either. For example, I don't need full and absolute freedom of speech but I would like it very much if spammers and crooks were told to shut up or go to prison.

You underestimate Adobe developers' ability to fuck up.
Then they'll have security holes in the updater, and it will be holes in privileged application. Where is your permissions model now?
It's mid-2011, why should the focus be on 32-bit?
It's Adobe.
That kind of pancake would have to be made on a Moebius pan.
But how?
Zero-day exploit is an exploit used or released before the vulnerability is published (or if not published, a fixed version or patch is released).

Yessss! Because impact of a gaping security hole is less than of a non-working punch the monkey banner!
No, that's supposed to be a nag screen.
So I can claim that rock falls because it believes, it's better to be on the ground?
upgraded my cable

For example, ".Net".

Or picked up at the output of the amplifier.

People who don't know Ohm's law?
1. Headphone cable. 4-12 feet with few tens or hundreds ohms of load.
2. Interference you can hear in speakers is picked at the input of an amplifier, or over power rails. Computer speakers are amplified, with high input impedance and bad power filtering -- this has nothing to do with cables.

Think of what kind of crooks would be in power if they had more opportunities to instigate riots and hijack protests.

And that somehow ADVANCES someone's lives?
but there's no program path which will ever access it again, and thus it should be discarded
Memory management does not work that way (also lol halting problem).
Any given programmer ALWAYS produces a constant (amount * severity) of bugs per time.

network security so closely resembles societal security
No, and you are dumb for posting this, and you made everyone who read this, a little bit dumber.
