: Here is one possibility if your data frame is all numeric:
: 
:    x$new <- (sd(t(x))==0)+0
: 
: x is the data frame, new is the new column, sd(t(x)) is TRUE for
: rows with zero standard deviation (which occurs iff the entries
: are all zero) and FALSE otherwise and +0 converts that to 1 or 0.
          ^^^^

"zero" should be replaced by "the same".
