Back in the day, I had to go to my data center when it was around 100 degrees out side so I was of course in shorts, t-shirt and sandals. I was there for 18 hours. Temperature inside was like 50 degrees. Yeah, that doesn't seem cold, but after 18 hours I felt like I had hypothermia.
Well, for people smart enough not to have kids, and live close to work, it adds up to less than 2%, at least in my case. And I live in a fairly large and not exactly cheap city. Also, if office politics has got you down, find a new job.
Are you guys running any tests in Seattle at night? DNS lookups regularly fail after midnight and are generally really spotty from midnight on. It's not a connectivity issue because I can always ssh using an ip address even when my web browser can't load pages due to lookup failures.
Give them sudo and they can grab root whenever they want:/i>
First, why would support change the root password? They can sudo su and get root if you let them.
Second, one nice thing about giving them sudo instead of root is that you can disable/delete the user or change the password. This is preferable to changing the root password after they access it, especially if you have the same root password on dozens of machines.
I told my wife years ago that I would jump at a chance to go to the moon (Apollo style) even if I knew for absolute certain that a coin flip would determine whether I lived or died. I still would.
I was part of an educational experiment in which honors students (such as myself) were placed in an 6th-grade English class...I LEARNED NOTHING IN THAT CLASS!
It wasn't unfair. The point was to display an email address on one high traffic site with no obfuscation and see what would happen. It was an experiment. I more or less dropped my older account which I did not display my email at all and have mostly used this account since I created it.
To reiterate, I specifically wanted to see how much spam I could get by doing this.
On the rare occasions I do check the gmail account associated with this user, I see three things - 1. a lot of spam in my spam folder, 2. a little spam that the filter does not catch (maybe 1000 in 4 years), and 3. emails from people asking me, "Hey, are you Neil Blender the skater?"

It was twice as far uphill on the way, and three times as far on the way back.
Seriously though, it wasn't so much the temperature, it was getting blasted constantly the by the air conditioners. Wind chill, I guess.

Netscape engineers are weenies!
The book is called "Rats" and it's fascinating.
Where can I get the headers for tl:dr? yum and apt can't find them. I'm lost.
They're giving those out at 100 o'clock in the exhibit hall.

Woah, you should submit your findings to Nature.
No, I don't want to be premature here, but I think I smell a Nobel in Medicine.
Heh, I was worried about its utter absurdity in 2001.
You have autism. Now pick up those 274 toothpicks. 274, Toothpicks. 274.
The keyword is "yet".
I didn't get pulled over a single time until I was 38, yet I probably broke every traffic rule in the book.
It's a sales tax, sizzle chest.
They moved their servers from China to... China.
That is now of pine dog nevertheless real is play ball scraped?
Yeah, I guess that works.

If you give them a non-root user with all of the privileges of root, there's no way for them to know if you've really given them root.
sudo su
Why not just create an alternate account with sudo for them? Why give them root?
Even if it doesn't, that's almost as good as the phone in an iPhone.
You should probably wait for 0.3. Everyone knows sub 0.3 versions are not ready for prime time.
Without the humor.

I usually post anonymously. Anyway, "93 Escort Wagon", here is a logged in post. It's still not my name.

Apparently.
