asterisked 

Fame or achievement tarnished by either facts (steriods in Barry Bond's case) or sour grapes.
Barry Bond's record is asterisked thanks to his romance with Balco performance-enhancing products.

Don Shula wants the Pat's 19-0 season asterisked becuz they filmed the NY Jets defensive signals at the start of the 2007 season. Like no team has ever done something like that before, lol.

asterisk 

asterisk is open source PBX software designed for the Linux operating system.

asterisk eliminates the need of buying hundreds or even thousands of dollars worth of dedicated PBX hardware.

Aside from Linux, asterisk also runs on various other operating systems, including: BSD, OS X, and now the Windows operating system using "AstWind" package.

Assistant: No problem! Use asterisk, the open source Linux PBX.

Admin: I feel so stupid...

asterisk 

The word, as used here, apparently refers to the anus.
The term "asterisk" appears in the book "I'm no Saint" by Hayt, Elizabeth, in describing analingus during one of her heterosexual liaisons.
