Interesting idea, but the user can exploit that; i.e. "runas/savecred cmd" and get an Administrator shell, or "runas/savecred regedit" and can wreak havoc.
Sudo at least will let you limit which commands a user can run as root.
That other poster is right, your IT dept is run by goobers. They should at least push out updates (IE5.5, ffs?!) and really need to upgrade you to a newer computer that can run XP.
Let's see: Jzip, JkDefrag screensaver, Firefox, Thunderbird, Flash, SSH client, IE7, K-Lite Mega Codec Pack, Office 2007, calendar client, Java,.NET, Spybot S&D, Windows Defender, SpywareBlaster, Acrobat Reader, CCleaner, antivirus, sometimes IrfanView, and all the Windows/Office/etc. updates. I keep all of that up-to-date.
So it's not that I'm a fascist, so much, but more that I'm lazy and don't want my users creating work for me because they're bored.
My lusers don't generally have the permissions to install their own software. I'm willing to install software for them, as long as 1) they've got a license and 2) it's not going to fuck up the machine. That's subject to some change (some supervisors don't want IM s/w), and I have some users that I can trust to know better, and so they have local administrator rights.
I have it on good authority that we could have avoided all of those if we, as a nation, would turn back to God and expel those nasty gays, pagans, and so forth.
XP SP3 is scheduled for the first half of this year, so in theory we'll get it by 30 June.
Interestingly, 30 June is when XP sales are supposed to stop, so any official XP SP3 CDs are going to be rare, but there will be 3rd-party tools to slipstream in the service pack.
In addition to a basic diagram, you've also got to know correct dimensions and masses of the parts, timings of the explosives used to drive the sub-critical parts together, and so on. It's a pretty tricky process.
And of course, you have to be able to make the parts to a sufficiently high standard, you have to be able to obtain uranium and/or plutonium, you have to enrich those if they don't come to you that way, and so on.
does not mean that you should. This may be a primitive nuclear weapon, and it may even be incomplete, but FFS. It's a nuclear weapon. A weapon of mass destruction. We don't have to worry about only rogue governments using WMDs, we also have to worry about a well-funded group of fanatical terrorists, who have members perfectly willing to die to attack their enemies.
I'm usually among the first to excoriate the Bush Administration for their fear mongering, power grabs, and excesses, but *come on*.
Cat's out of the bag on this one, but I would not be upset at all if Wikileaks got shut down and the responsible parties sent to prison for the rest of their lives.
The congressweasels'd have to be stupid or naive to believe anything the Bush Administration says. How long have they been lying to us again, and how long since they Decided that they were above the law?
Why do you propose letting the NSA have the ability to tap our phones without oversight? If the FBI can abuse it, so can the NSA, and NSA can certainly pass on information to organizations with the power to arrest or harass.
Shotgun: what goes up must come down. You would have an excellent chance of friendly and/or civilian casualties from using that. Much better to use that in deep ocean as a point-defense system.
What was the rate of fire on that thing?
and then send several directly at the device itself. By all accounts, these rockets are rather inaccurate. I get the impression that their CEP is several hundred feet.
Oy, this is my day for replying to people with comprehension problems. I'm not excoriating Carmack, I'm agreeing that Intel's drivers for the 740 were shit and providing examples.

Well, fuck, the fucking fucker's fucking fucked. Fuck!

Fucking brilliant. The batch file idea requires that the password be in the .bat for all the world to see.
You're assuming there's actual documentation of which files/folders/registry entries a poorly-written program needs to write to.
As someone with experience here, allow me to laugh in your face.

I should add that I preinstall lots of software.

Discordianism. WE at least know we're all full of shit, and revel in it.
"Grits" are what "Bob" likes to eat best.
Beware the Mutant Space Xists.
RTFS, dude. It says what you want to know right in the middle.
People who are willing to violate the Constitution never believed in it anyway.

Impeach. Convict. Hang.

Don't blame me; Soulskill edited my submission pretty heavily.
ZOMGBBQ, an editor who edits. Kind of.

Huh. State an unpopular belief, get modded down. It really happens.
