If this was something released by Valve would it be described as a 'rootkit', or more of a dumb mistake? The internet loves Steam and anything and everything by Valve and hates Ubisoft.

And should we also stop saying we've gotten "fucked" for similar reasons? Since you are the curator and sole arbiter of allowable phrases, I'd like to get it all clear while I've got your ear.
And should we also stop saying we've gotten "fucked" for similar reasons? Sorta. Tis roughly the similar overtones of 'people-who-take-it-are-bad' (i.e. everyone who isn't a straight cis male), however it's not as graphic and not as tied to the actual imagery of receptive sex as the previous example. Since you are the curator and sole arbiter of allowable phrases What? No I'm not. Who said I was? Not me. Just because…

Because of people like this (the straw was Growl installing itself for the third time), I've had to completely change the permissions on particularly vulnerable folders in OS X. Anyone creating software, if you are not already aware of this: installing anything that is not completely and clearly explained beforehand makes you a despicable wretch.
FWIW growl doesn't install itself, applications that use it are _supposed_ to offer to install growl for you, but there's been a few that don't and just force it on you. The growl devs really really hate those applications - http://growl.info/thirdpartyinstallations.php has more info.
Apparently they've patched this now, according to their twitter.
Oh hell no. I can't believe this shit... and Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier was such a good game too. T_T Next time I want to play an Ubisoft game I'm just going to pirate it. EDIT: I buy 99% of my video games through Steam, and when the games I get through Steam want to use their own launcher (play, windows live games, or EA's Origin, for example) I always get peeved.. to find out it allows arbitrary remot…
There's no shortage of good games to play, and I'm just not going to give my money to companies that abuse their customers like Ubisoft does.
Hey Ubisoft, because I hope someone there is reading this thread: When your DRM is so bad that it makes people who would otherwise buy your games want to pirate them, you have utterly, totally, and completely failed. Pass that on to your boss please.
Edit: Protect yourself in Chrome by going to about:plugins and just turning it off.

What about usage of the word "use"? Surely that implies interacting with another person only for sex and we should stop using it lest we offend. I was not deflecting, that was my way of talking about the merits of the complaint, to whit, what you object to might be a tiny subset of someone else's objections, in which case who gets to decide? By telling that person not to use that terminology, you are saying you get t…
No, the word "use" means lots of things. To give you an idea, lots of people are OK with people saying "use" in polite, professional contexts, or day time TV, but lots of people would not be OK with "fuck" or "fisting with two hands" in professional contexts. There is a difference between them. If you cannot tell the difference, people might get annoyed at you in many situations.

It is a common retort from people who want to continue to say things that marginalise some minorities to claim that "It's polticial correctness gone mad!" or "you can't say anything anymore!". You've just done that, you're trying to imply that I would have a problem with the word "use" to further your strawman argument that "You can't say anything anymore lest you offend!". No-one's suggesting that there's anything wrong with "use". But there is something wrong with calling anyone who anal bad, or anyone who might engage in receptive sex (i.e. all non-straight-cis-males) bad.
