[6] : Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001)
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 `curses3' screen-handling package was hacked
   together by ken arnold primarily to support games, and the development
   of `rogue6' 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
   `rogue6'; 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".

[8] : Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)
rogue. a french word, which in that language signifies proud, arrogant. in 
some of the ancient english statutes it means an idle, sturdy beggar, which 
is its meaning in law. rogues are usually punished as vagrants. although the 
word rogue is a word of reproach, yet to charge one as a rogue is not 
actionable.  5 binn. 219. see 2 dev. 162 hardin, 529.
