This is a widely known security flaw since at least 2008 when a Pakistani telecom company shutdown Youtube. There's been plenty of talks since then at blackhat and defcons and papers. I'm just impressed on how so little has been d

Sometimes you end up depending on stuff that isn't in -STABLE yet. Sometimes it is edgy new stuff that comes with a risk, but fixes for existing functionality also fall in this category. Living with broken software isn't a comprom

I'm not sure of what a graviton is, but wikipedia tells me that it is not detectable by any current mean. I'd be tempted to say in light of this that their theory is not testable either. http://en.wikipedia.org/wik
