You're right, but as a nitpick I hardly think novels or movies count as interactive entertainment.

At this stage, it looks like someone with root-level access installs it.

In fairness, both of those flaws could be easily worked around. The worrying implication is that the developer didn't know what he was doing.

Having said that, you need to already have root access to install this, so it's really not a big deal.

There's no "exploit". The emphasized section just says the programmer was incompetent, but by chance his rootkit still (mostly) works.
Again, this is a rootkit. You need root access through some other means to install it. Still a nuisance, though.

I think perhaps real anons have better things to do. At least, I'd hope so.

Woo, I'm such a ricer! USE="-pulseaudio -systemd -nepomuk -strigi -akonadi"

I was with you until you suggested 4chan as a center of internet culture.

Actually, I'm relatively sure that in practice that's precisely what it is. Although more familiarity with similar systems/interfaces (in the real world too) than with the actual OS/program in question.

Personally I prefer XP over Win7 for the most part.

I would be somewhat reluctant to mention Acrobat and efficiently in the same sentence.

I'm pretty sure prior art is still a thing even under first-to-file.

In fairness, it's called Agile Development, not Agile Software Engineering.

Maybe this is regional variation, but in NZ it seems the kind of person who wants to be called a Software Engineer is exactly the kind of person who thinks everything fits into their pet methodology. Which is often some inflexible misunderstanding of OO.

But you can bet a large portion of that 99% will answer "What's a linux? Is it like a meerkat?"

I thought the humour came from the fact that it's true.
