In this usage, calling a traffic ticket a "traffic citation" is correct usage even if there is a criminal charge behind it. Again, you are conflating the two words which have developed in a subtle and complex field, the law. The paper is indeed a traffic citation. However, the paper and the offense are separate things, and there is also a citation (albeit a poorly-chosen homonym) on the offense side. When talking about the offense, a citation is a petty violation producing no criminal record. You are convicted of misdemeanors and felonies, but you aren't convicted of a citation. The citation, a paper notice or summons, is a completely different thing. You seem very confident about this, but why should we believe you? Can you provide a citation from an authoritative source?
You had PALs, microsequencers, and eraseable ROMs? When I was in college, we built not only finite but also infinite state machines using just our bare hands and tiddly-winks. Then we used them to compute the route back to the dorm uphill through the snow.

Have things changed since Gabriel pointed out that Worse is Better?

Somehow I got the urge to check on the Aibo
development kit just a few hours after they
apparently set it up.

How about a worm which breaks into Windows/IIS, and replaces it with a Linux Apache system without upsetting the served site. Now that would be cool.
