Not actually true, Tycho Brahe's model of the solar system was very similar(geometrically) to Ptolemy(earth in the center) and Copernicus(sun in the center). He put the earth in the center, the sun and the moon were orbiting around the earh while the other planets where orbiting around the sun.
The real breakthrough came from Johannes Kepler( who was working with Brahe and later on was using Brahe's observations) who went away from using circular orbits, and to a certain extent discovering gravity. You can read more in his book Astronomia Nova, I recomend it to anyone.
"This is a local exploit in that kernel version range, in other words instigated by someone at a keyboard connected to the host and with an existing user account on the machine."
Not actually, think of those gazillions of PHP scripts vulnerable to file inclusions or any other issues that let you run code or execute any commands from remote.
It creates a function called ":" that accepts no arguments-- that's the ":(){... }" part of the utterance.
The code in the function calls the recursively calls the function and pipes the output to another invocation of the function-- that's the ":|:" part. The "&" puts the call into the background-- that way the child process don't die if the parent exits or is killed. Note that by invoking the function twice, you get exponential growth in the number of processes (nasty!).
The trailing ";" after the curly brace finishes the function definition and the last ":" is the first invocation of the function that sets off the bomb.
Most unpleasant...
Just replace ":" with some word, it will be easier to understand:

...of the exploit framework it provides, Immunity CANVAS. You`re not paying for the hardware device but for the exploits, this should be a must for every pen-tester, Aitel is one hell of an exploit writter.
"'I've never found it to be a good thing to release bugs or exploits without giving a vendor a chance to patch it and do the right thing,' says Marc Maiffret, CTO of eEye Security Research, a former script kiddie who co-founded the security firm. And who are you, miss Kelly Jackson Higgins, to make Mark Maiffret a former script kiddie, where did you get this fact?
It has to be mentioned that I'm pretty pissed about it, since it sort of hits home. Arad, where the guy is from is a historical hungarian town which now belongs to Romania. There is a good possibility that this guy has hungarian origins and as a hungarian...
Historical hungarian town??? Arad was always a romanian town, even when Transilvania was under habsburg monarchy, where did you came up with that fact?
I`m from Arad, and I know a friend who knows a friend who knew that guy(no joke). He used hang aroung irc channels(nickname SirVic) ddosing anything he could, he probably had no ideea he hacked NASA,./scan, install rootkit and psybnc, and that`s it, just a stupid script kiddie cracker.
Sadly, almost any news involving Romania are mostly about phishers, skiddies and crackers...I hate my country.

The longest-serving web server (the search engine behind the current celt.ucc.ie) was the 9th web server in the world and it's still sitting there, still serving the project it was bought for. Something of a two-edged sword: kudos to Sun for making a machine that has never crashed and never dropped a bit, and to Tim Bray for the PAT search engine which runs on it; but a victim of its own success in that it's only now being scheduled for replacement as the project moves from SGML to XML.

The movie is in my opinion the best adaptation of a PKD novel. Watch it!

Actually I think only wrt54gl uses linux, all of they routers are using vxworks lately.
Let`s hope we`ll have Adblock for games too.
