Easily done. Just make your test users members of a group called "test", then in the sudoers file grant access to "%test" instead of to individual users.
Which is pretty much worthless. If you are not multi-platform in this space nobody wants to know about it. The question is - does MS understand this, or is it going to run Skype into the ground trying to make it Windows exclusive.
I would say drone strikes in the invasion of Iraq against Iraqi forces would've been clear cut hostile as there was no real clear mandate or evidence that there was a defensive role being played in any way whatsoever, I would say the Pakistan drone attacks are slightly less clear cut but still largely hostile because whilst there is no immediate role in protecting civilians but arguably a longer term role in preventing terrorist attacks. Then again there's Libya, there's an immediate protection of civilian lives, and so the waters are much more muddy- is it really a hostile act or is it a defensive act?
Sounds like a slippery slope to me. You can hand-wave it away as a logical fallacy if you will, but killing is killing.
Very little meaning? I don't think you've thought that through. How is domain name resolution supposed to work?
Lets say we just do away with DNS entirely. After all, most people just google keywords (or trademarks), so google could just index the IP addresses directly. Then all you'd have to do is memorize the IP of google's search page... going to be a pain in the ass when IPv6 rolls out (which will have to be a lot sooner considering every website would then require a dedicated IP).
I have a better idea. ICANN should just stick to it's job and stop trying to find new and inventive ways to monetize DNS.
Hmm, I had to look up WirelessHD... correct me if I am wrong, but it seems to be an "effort" at this stage. The standard has not been finalized and no draft implementation yet exists.
WiFi is an interesting alternative to bluetooth, but there is only so much spectrum to go around. I hope they've considered the impact this might have on existing home networks.
What makes you think the controller is incapable of driving it's own display? Seems like it would be more straightforward then bluetooth video streaming...
Even an M1 Abrams isn't un-immobilizable (is that a word?). The point behind these things is to make the drugs + the men inside it a hard target. They look like they would work admirably.
And yeah, both the name and logo were obvious, non-trademarked, and based on existing ideas. What else would you call something that syncs over Wi-Fi besides "Wi-Fi Sync"?
I know you're right... but somehow I don't think that's going to stop Apple registering them. I mean, what else are you going to call a store that sells apps?
You confused the hell out of me for a sec there - you seem to be arguing water isn't wet.
But I think what you are saying is that consumers don't care from open... That Android only has bigger market share because there are more manufacturers and devices to choose from. This may well be true, but you are putting the cart before the horse.
The reason there are more devices and manufacturers to choose from is because Android is open.
QED Android has a bigger market share because it is open.
My guess is that Elop has a Blackberry or a Windows 7 phone. It starts at the top. He should own and use the N8.
Hehehe - I'm sorry, but Elop... use a phone?! I'm reminded of Bill Gates' infamous Windows Usability Systematic degradation flame email. Bill might have actually made some good points if he didn't sound so much like your average pensioner calling into an ISP helpdesk.
Either Bill's more of a Mac guy then he's been letting on, or when you get that powerful you just don't do these things for yourself. Either way "dogfooding" does not apply to the CEO.
He really went and did it, eh? Crap. The only thing more annoying then a meaningless bump in version numbers is all the people going to be complaining about how annoying it is.
You might not have a protected right to slander, but you absolutely should have the ability to post any kind of information in public anonymously if you really need to.
The news (and warning) here is that twitter is not the right channel to use if you wish to remain anonymous. Perhaps this is not news to everybody... but after all the "twitter: tool of the people" stories to come out of places like Egypt, it is probably a timely reminder.
Google has worked very hard to make sure the user space is incompatible with more common Linux distributions and software
Have they? I'd love to see some evidence of that.
You'd also have to harass Google to compile any binary only bits (namely the graphics drivers) for glibc and to work with Xorg 1.9.
What? Why would you even want binary drivers? In any case, Google is no more responsible for supplying 3D drivers then the eponymous Linus himself. Either harass the hardware vendor or write your own damn driver.

The question is whether it's worth taking the lives of a few aggressors to save the lives of thousands of innocents.
No, that isn't being debated at all. The question is whether drones launching missiles should be considered a hostile action.

the ROE i'm deploying under this month are absurdly restrictive. i guarantee AQ doesn't give two shits as much about civilians as we do.
Absurdly restrictive? Let me ask you this: If it wasn't for your ROE, how many shits would your deployment give about civilians?
Odd. For me the above quotation only invokes another question: "English motherfucker, do you speak it?!"

"I haven't actually compromised your iPhone, all I've done is publish the results data-mining your passwords... trust me!"
About as far as I can throw you, Jackass.
Let's see how CCP plans to counter that.
Counter it? Dude, CCP love that shit. They made a video advertisement based on that exact scenario.
If you are not constantly paranoid of betrayal by your corp mates CCP would be VERY disappointed.
I believe you are thinking of the Linksys/Cisco iPhone.
Troll? That's rich. I only see one troll here, and he has 'Coward' in his name

Apple computers used to be a top choice for creative, adventurous people.
Apple computers used to be marketed as a top choice for creative, adventurous people. There is a big difference.
Allowing these individuals to contribute to political campaigns weren't exactly too smart either.

On second thought - lets just drop it... it's jerks from here to infinity.
