Isn't that a novel by William Gibson?
He of neuromancer fame?

Yes... I chose this nick a long long time ago on a domain far away. The character was a noob hacker who gets in way over his head.
He named himself after the command "Count zero interupt" - when the count reaches zero, stop the program.
It sounded cool so I took it.
There used to be a lot more Count Zeroes and I had trouble registering the name on some web sites.
There's not so many now.
I've outlasted most of the others.

used to love the old old hacker insult as follows:-
Hacker? Couldn't hack his way through a field of corn!
no-one seems to say it any more.
maybe i'm just that old.
