I'm sure iago could find one for you.

If anybody uses nix, they're automatically smart enough to create something better than myspace. :P

Isn't Ubuntu considered *NIX?  I'm sure there are a few die hard Apple freaks that don't know how to make something better than MySpace. :)

I'm unaware of any super-threatening *NIX rootkits, but I'm sure they exist.

And yes, I was talking about windows.  Duh.  I'd like to see the ratio of windows users:linux users on MySpace.  I bet its close to 1. :]

Outside of a few Windows viruses acting as one, I've never heard the word "rootkit" unassociated with "linux"

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

How about Sony's Rootkits?

There are both Windows and Linux rootkits.  The idea of a Rootkit started with Linux, probably because Linux's user/kernel interface is 10000x cleaner, and their system calls are really easy to understand and hijack.

Notice the words, 'acting as one'?  It's just as much a rootkit as any other.
