It was a zero-day exploit until the moment he published it. The moment it becomes publicly known, it ceases to be a zero-day and turns into a simple unpatched vulnerability.
Of course, that wouldn't be sensational enough for current media...
We used to have terminals with the option of either citrix or X. citrix was slower and locked down to the point where it was completely unusable. X was on (an old server running) RH9 with all homedirs on AFS.
Last year, citrix was replaced with powerfuse, which was somewhat better, but everything is on the way of being replaced with dual boot windows w/ roaming profiles and suse10.2 (with the same AFS).
thing is, these lasers generally aren't in the infra-red spectrum and don't kill their target by melting it. In fact, a reflective surface is the one most easily destroyed by a laser because it first has to stop the light and then push it back, doubling the force. There is a reason this is referred to as an 'impact kill': you simply push enough energy into your laser that there's a tangible impact from all the photons hitting your target.
Or I could be all wrong and it's the old "shoot down ICBMs and satellites" starwars system I'm talking about. I have to admit to not following the development of military lasers too closely lately.
However, the moon does not have a 24 hour rotation cycle. It takes one (lunar) month for it to circle the earth, and as I'm sure you've noticed, the same side stays towards us all the time as well, meaning it also takes a lunar month for it to rotate around it's axis.
In other words, on the moon, a day equals a month, so you have only two occasions of "comfortable" temperature per month. Also, due to the lack of atmosphere, these transitions aren't going to take days. There is no atmosphere to warm up, just a layer of dust and a very suddenly increasing amount of infra-red radiation.
what makes you believe those proxy servers actually listen to those headers? I've had proxies completely cache an interactive website, after seeing exactly the same data three times I noticed the timestamp was that of half an hour ago.
it doesn't, I have a spare CRT lying around and a PS/2 keyboard that I can temporarily steal from another computer if for some reason I can't ssh into it.
so, if I write a rootkit that stores copyrighted stuff (it's own code maybe) somewhere on the harddisk and then makes sure that no-one can read it while it's active, does that mean that:
-removing it
-deactivating it
-booting into an OS in which the rootkit doesn't work
-doing anything else that makes the code readable
would be a violation of the DMCA?

it can be easily be reimplemented with nothing but a shell and the gnu coreutils. and of course, you can make it far more complicated, but this is the useful part.
8000, but the english translation will say 9000.
That's what the death penalty should be for: attempted suicide.

You forgot rule 34?
Copyright Theft eh? is that when you take someone else's copyrights and use them for your own purposes?
maybe like what verizon did?
remember people, copyright infringement != theft

There's a really simple solution to that: use different ballots for different elections, that's how we do it in the Netherlands.

you must be new here
joking aside, funny doesn't give karma, insightful does and many jokes also are insightful in a way.
first useful comment to this story I've read.
and yes, I don't like to RTFA either.
Netherlands, no E21* here.
That's going to be the next failure right there, it'll be off by a factor of 1.024
I did receive it, it took more than a month though (I'm not sure how many, I'd stopped expecting it and it showed up in the mail one day)
wow, you completely replicated what cfg-update does on gentoo. (it's not the default configuration updater though)
okay, who's been trolling that wikipedia article...
if it uses the WMP control, then how come it can play AVIs that WMP10 and VLC both fail to play?
not accusing you of anything, just interested.
Use media player classic instead, it's open source and generally works better.

(billion - billion)th?
like a 0th?
Describing timings in multiples of 0? I hope nullity has nothing to do with this.

you won't recognize the slowdown of a good rootkit either, does that mean you don't care about those either?
it doesn't, I have a spare CRT lying around and a PS/2 keyboard that I can temporarily steal from another computer if for some reason I can't ssh into it.
that's what screen is for, it works quite well.
