Oh, well if the catb jargon archive says it then it is DEFINITELY 100% legal truth.
Rootkits are generally understood to be anything that patches itself into the kernel in a hidden way. The etymology follows from the original unix rootkit definition, but that hasn't really been used in years.
Ignoring the root origin of a term is silly, but refusing to let go of it in a "you kids get off my lawn" sort of way is also immature. It's like the original "wiki" people stating that wikipedia isn't a wiki because by definition a wiki is ALWAYS editable by "anyone." Definitions change and are adapted.
Saying it is so doesn't make it so, and contrived analogies are not relevant. Your analogy was one of the worst I've seen due to the sign part, but also due to the fact that passer-bys watching your TV on the lawn does not possibly cost you more (many UK plans charge for usage, same as here in Australia) and does not prevent you from "tuning" as many channels on the other TVs in your house.
Unless the SSID is something like "public" or "freewifi" then you do not have a reasonable expectation that it is there for you to use.
Here's an analogy that possibly works, but even then I feel dirty coming up with one: You put in an ourdoor electricity point on the front of your house to power a pressure washer without using a long extension cord. You do not put a lock on it, only a simple weather cover so that it doesn't get rained on. The outdoor box the electrician fitted it with is bright orange, and you're not an electrician so you don't bother to change it. Am I justified in running an extension cord to my place and running my server cluster off of it? Am I justified using it "just a few minutes" to charge my mobile phone if it's dead and I happen to walk by and see it?
You would say "yes" to both of those, as I haven't put a padlock on it.
With vista it's all down to your graphics card. If you have a shared memory graphics card (which many laptops do) or a sub-DX10 chip on it it WILL run slower.
If you have a DX10 chipped graphics card (specifically nvidia) with its own super-fast memory Vista with Aero is quite snappy, faster IMO than XP when you have a bunch of stuff going on.

Have you looked at the raw IRC protocol? It's "wtf-bullshit," which may or may not be preferable to xml-bullshit, but I do know that XML-bullshit is at least easier to parse.
So the police should close their eyes when in public and have their memories wiped daily, unless it's reported that a crime is taking place in front of them?
Almost every company buying an enterprise license agreement has the option for employees to buy office 2007 for the cost of 'media distribution' which MS puts at $15 in Australia. The same was true of Office 2003.
Perhaps if you'd read the article you'd see that this EXACT issue is mentioned and it's something Xen has done on purpose.
Anyone who does not follow the Xen ABI and guarantee to stay compatible cannot use the Xen trademark. Redhat will not agree to that, and thus cannot use the trademark. Xen is happy with this.

MS is looking for copies of XP that are nongenuine. Think of it as a negative return check, not a positive return check. The fact that it passed means that MS is fairly certain you're not running a pirated copy of XP (which is correct), NOT that MS is fairly certain you're running a valid version of XP.
This is not about buying a cheap copy for $5 and "wondering" if it's real or not (hint: it's not). A contrived example of why this is important:
You go to your local mom and pop PC shop. You buy a PC for $1000 including Vista. They give you a disk that has a nice color silkscreened vista logo. 9 months later, the activation hack they applied and didn't tell you was applied is fixed via update, and you call MS to deal with validation. They ask you about your disk, which has no holograms. They tell you you've been "had," so you go back to the mom and pop shop and require a real copy, this time knowing what to look for and demand.
The same story could be told about small businesses who are not large enough to use corporate version with their own keyserver, and thus buy bulk professional licenses and have the CDs as proof of license.

Many (most?) "pickup" guitar players, the ones who just picked it up and jam with the radio, have HORRIBLE rythm. Ask them to keep a beat and many GOOD "jammers" can't do so. This game teaches precision rythm if nothing else.

I don't know if you're fishing for this reply, but this is ALMOST exactly what.NET does (everything except for the prompting... it simply errors if a program isn't allowed to do something). Read up on trust policies, declarative security, and "code access security" in.net.
It's not fully "user friendly" yet (it was originally designed around group policies in a corporate environment), but newer versions of.NET are getting more and more user configuration. The basic idea is that you set up "zones" (like in IE) and apply priveledges to each zone. YOu then set default policies for how programs get assigned to zones (via publisher certificate, via location (network drive, local drive, etc), via namespace, via.......), which you can override on a program by program exception if you want. Finally, you determine which permissions each zone is allowed.
GOOD coders put "declarative security" around methods. If you write to the filesystem, you declare that around the method entrance. Then the runtime won't even run the method, instead throwing an exception. This is "good" because the program never even tries to run the method. EVen if you DON'T declare security it still will not run the part requiring security, but will give you a messier exception because it's run the method up until the actual (example) file access.
Complex currently, without a good UI? (you edit xml files/etc)... YES VERY powerful, and eventually great once they add some sensible defaults and a good UI to customize it? IMO, YES!
You do realize that is for a specialized Ubuntu "fork"/"derivative"/whatever, and not the mainstream Ubuntu, right?
OR, when Microsoft released Server 2000 Datacenter Edition, which only runs on dedicated hardware and can only be bought from an OEM, did you reccomend everyone jump ship from windows since MS wouldn't let you buy ANY version of windows any more (which is the same level conclusion as the one you drew)
