Example 1 (real-world): Instead of the usual *nix behaviour where "priority 0" equals "superuser," the sysadmin of a Multics system sets the superuser's priority level to an arbitrary number, any process executing at a lower level is not superuser, and any process trying to execute at a higher priority is locked out. Any Multics sysadmin worth his salt - assuming any are left - is going to set the superuser priority at a different level on different systems that he maintains. What priority level do you set your worm for?
Example 2 (Fenspace): What OS does Lime Zor-El run on? Is it the same OS that Yayoi Fujisawa runs on? Do either of them share an OS with Lun Alekseeva?
