And you've been in kernel mode ever since :-)

Once a year, when you poke your head out in user mode to see if you
produce a shadow, are you worried you couldn't get back down to your
warm and comfy kernel mode where you don't have to worry about pesky
things like privileges and restrictions ? :-)


And more importantly, is Guinness better in kernel or user mode ? :-)
