Computing | Rogue 1. [Unix] n. A Dungeons-and-Dragons-like game using character graphics, written under BSD Unix and subsequently ported to other Unix systems. The original BSD `curses(3)' screen-handling package was hacked together by Ken Arnold primarily to support games, and the development of `rogue(6)' popularized its use; it has since become one of Unix's most important and heavily used application libraries. Nethack, Omega, Larn, Angband, and an entire subgenre of computer dungeon games (all known as `roguelikes') all took off from the inspiration provided by `rogue(6)'; the popular Windows game Diablo, though graphics-intensive, has very similar play logic. See also nethack, moria, Angband. 2. [Usenet] adj. An ISP which permits net abuse (usually in the form of spamming) by its customers, or which itself engages in such activities. Rogue ISPs are sometimes subject to IDPs or UDPs. Sometimes deliberately misspelled as "rouge". Source: Jargon File. |

Rogue is a superhero in the fictional Marvel Universe. She was created by writer Chris Claremont and first appeared in Avengers Annual #10 (1981). Her power is the ability to (usually) temporarily absorb the bioenergy of living beings and their powers, if they have any, for her own use.She began her career as a villain with the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants but joined her adversaries, the X-Men. She became a popular member of the team. Rogue has permanently absorbed the powers of the heroine Ms. Marvel (Carol Danvers) and now possesses superhuman strength, invulnerability and the ability to fly. Unfortunately, she permanently absorbed Ms. Marvel's personality and memories leaving her with a bizarre psychiatric problem and her victim a comatose shell. It was this problem that drove her to join with Professor Charles Xavier in order to deal with it and otherwise control her powers. Carol Danvers herself was treated by Xavier and was able to restore much of her consciousness and later received new superpowers to become Binary. She had her own comic once, called Rogue.
Rogue was depicted by actress Anna Paquin in the 2000 film X-Men and its sequel. She was voiced by Lenore Zann in the animated television series X-Men. She was voiced by Meghan Black in the X-Men: Evolution animated television series.

Rogue is a dungeon-crawling computer game dating from 1980. It inspired a class of derivatives known collectively as roguelikes. Some of the popular members of this gaming genre include Hack, NetHack, Larn, Moria, ADOM and Angband.
Overview
The basic premise in Rogue is that the player assumes the role of an adventurer typical of fantasy games such as Dungeons & Dragons. The player starts out at the top level of a massive dungeon, filled with a myriad of monsters and treasure. The goal is to fight one's way down to the bottom of the dungeon, retrieve the Amulet of Yendor, and make it back to the top. Until the amulet is retrieved, the player cannot go back up stairs which he/she has taken down. Unlike most contemporary adventure games when it was written, however, the dungeon and everything in it is randomly-generated, yielding a different game each time it's played.
In the original version, all the aspects of the dungeon, including the character and the monsters are represented by letters and symbols, making the game appropriate to play on a dumb terminal. Later ports of the game replaced the characters with graphical tiles, but the gameplay remained the same. The basic movement keys (up, down, left, and right) are the same as the cursor control keys in the vi editor.
Authorship
The original authors of Rogue were Michael Toy, Glenn Wichman, and Ken Arnold (of JINI and JavaSpaces fame). Rogue was one of the first widely used applications of the screen control library curses. Originally written on Unix, it was ported by its original authors to many platforms, including the PC, Macintosh, Amiga and Atari ST. After attempting to sell these versions on their own, they eventually handed marketing over to established video game publisher Epyx.
Numerous freeware clones now exist for modern operating systems such as PC compatibles and Linux.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | RIGHT, n. Legitimate authority to be, to do or to have; as the right to be a king, the right to do one's neighbor, the right to have measles, and the like. The first of these rights was once universally believed to be derived directly from the will of God; and this is still sometimes affirmed in partibus infidelium outside the enlightened realms of Democracy; as the well known lines of Sir Abednego Bink, following: By what right, then, do royal rulers rule? Whose is the sanction of their state and pow'r? He surely were as stubborn as a mule Who, God unwilling, could maintain an hour His uninvited session on the throne, or air His pride securely in the Presidential chair. Whatever is is so by Right Divine; Whate'er occurs, God wills it so. Good land! It were a wondrous thing if His design A fool could baffle or a rogue withstand! If so, then God, I say (intending no offence) Is guilty of contributory negligence. |
