    Good call on the OpenBSD recommendation. Real soon now, we'll all be able to run Mozilla on our OpenBSD-based computing systems.

    Okay, time for a clue. As I'm sure you know, your radio antenna receives all wavelengths simultaneously. The receiver has to filter out all but your tuned-in frequency. To do this, a so-called resistor-capacitor (the cap being your tuning knob) "RC tank circuit" is utilized to provide an oscillation to beat against the mish-mash of the received environmental waves. Local oscillators of this kind are powered by a solid-state Gunn oscillator in a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL).

    The output is fed through a low-power Schottkey diode to clamp the waveform and lock onto the desired frequency. I'm sure you can tell what I'm getting at: in order to receive frequency RF, one must generate frequency IF via local oscillations (LO), and IF directly corresponds to RF. Stephen Wolfram points out the relationship V[IF] = V[RF] + V[LO] for increasing and V[IF] = V[RF] - V[LO] for decreasing. Armed with this formula and decent knowledge of the radio's tank circuit, it is trivial to pick up the LO and IF frequencies your car radio transmits, albiet inadvertedly, and customize the billboard contents accordingly. Quite simple really.

    This is correct. When the RIAA's webserver was compromised, the attackers uploaded Linkin_Park-Reanimation-2002-SER and even after the webmaster goons cleaned up the mess, the RIAA was still serving Linkin Park's sorry excuse for a new CD for some time.

    4 seconds for 2^16 is very fast. That's only 4(2^16) = 262,140 seconds = 4,396 minutes = 72 hours = 3 days for a sweep of the entire Internet. The viruses spreading possibilities are immense, in a mere three days a single virus could discover all exploitable hosts, though of course the time would be cut drastically due to the distributed nature of viruses. This isn't as fast as 15 minutes the Warhol Worm offers, but is faster than than most admins will be able to patch their boxes, assuming the exploit is discovered and published beforehand. The possibilities of an underground vulnerability circulating without a patch are very real, and it could easily take 3 days for a vendor to fix the problem.

    The real question is, has anyone used Gnutella to successfully transmit significant amounts of copyrighted material? I know I haven't, and not by choice either.
