If you mean to imply that everyone who uses

and stays there as long as he needs to do stuff then you misunderstand what sudo was meant to do. *Ubuntu might have made the 'sudo for everything' approach common, but that does not mean it makes any sense. It means you have a single password for your account and for sudo which usually looks like
cooluser ALL=(ALL) ALL
which helps against the occasional typo which would destroy your system, but opens up a whole new can of worms and trains the user in wrong behavior. On my systems, you get a bright red prompt while your UID is 0 and on remote hosts the $PS1's color is inverted for making you _really_ aware of where you are.
And even if you restrict sudo to 'most' programs, those programs will usually be able to write to the filesystem and/or spawn a shell.

No, it's not for everybody. But if you already have a DS/DS lite, there is no reason to shell out for a DSi.

Although that is more a DOS than a Win domain, there are many old controller cards for machines, radio equipment, measurement solutions etc. Those things were custom-built. A few dozen to a few hundred might exist world-wide. The software is often even more restricted than simply 'I need OS foo'. You might need a certain serial port chip or whatever. Replacing those systems would often incur costs of six figures or more.
A friend of mine works at Rhode & Schwartz where they have to support a lot of legacy systems. They keep old hard- & software around because _really_ large customers require it. One guy still uses DOS 6.1 for his daily work (development & maintenance) and he is _important_.
Just think about all the 'OMG, we need Cobol people' stories recently.
Ignoring how wrong you are on what being a true Muslim means (I am agnostic, but I like to be informed about the stuff I talk about) and also ignoring that Christianity extremism caused a lot more hurt than the Muslim extremists ever did or could aspire to do within the next few decades, let me use this opportunity to point out that Biden was the one driving force behind making violence against women within the family an actual crime. Obama voted for that bill, McCain against it.
Public buildings in Germany over a certain size always have a shower tucked away, somewhere. No one fancies to have a load of cycle-to-work people stink all around them.
Of course, the truly fit ones don't need the showers as their sweat does not smell nearly as badly.
So, they don't know a person's POV & policies and prolly don't care. Neither do they have a pre-set opinion. Then, you let those people choose from a few incarnations of the same person. One of them looks like the test subject does. They like that person best. How is that news? How is this not completely obvious?
Of course it's not speech. But neither is wearing a swastika. My parent was referring to human rights in general. Let's call it "freedom of expressing oneself".
You are mixing up systematic homocide with a political system. Not saying Breschnev, Stalin and other communist leaders didn't kill a lot of people, either. But still, you are comparing cars to streets, to stay within accepted/. example territory.
> Well maybe I'm being American-centric, but I would like to believe that the rights that I enjoy are human rights and not American rights.
The basic human rights should be universal. Every country/group/region/whatever has different flavours, though. See below.

This argument would hold more water if it would be possible to show a nipple on TV. You, as all other people, need to set limits for acceptable behaviour. Overstepping these results in negative feedback. Your limits are just different ones. From my European POV, the EU is a lot more liberal and free than the USA. And that is achieved without letting everyone say everything.
As a side note, lying under oath etc is not covered by free speech, either. Neither is libel. That is true for the USA, as well.

> The will of the majority to oppress the minority is mob rule, and a particularly onerous form of tyranny.
Which is why laws exist. Also the will of the majority to oppress the minority (in theory). Suppressing a minority in and as of itself is not a bad thing. I will gladly suppress the minority of murderers in a way that ensures they can not do it again. Doing the same to gay people is wrong, though.
Tyranny is, by definition, the rule of one person with absolute power, so it's the exact opposite of what you said.
Sorry for going ad hominem on you, but the mis-use of the term 'Nazi' for 'grammar nazi' etc is bad enough.
But to imply that by creating legal countermeasures to the glorification and/or denying of the Nazi homocide, crimes, regime and lore, the German government has become the thing they are trying to prevent is so utterly and totally ignorant, stupid, demeaning, wrong and a hundred other bad and worse things it makes me wonder why you are able to remember to breathe. You are trivializing the Third Reich and its crimes in a way I have only seen from people who are actual neo-Nazis.
The same goes, to quite some extent, to whoever modded you Insightful.
I would appreciate a reply from both you & whoever modded you in a positive way (which would eleminate some mod points in the process).
> Bazaar will let you work as if it were Subversion, for example, with a central server, lightweight local checkouts (with no history). > It will also let the same group of people work offline. Or heavyweight checkouts that can be offline, but commit to the server by default.
Yes, yes & yes!
This is one of the areas where git is lacking. Being able to commit offline is nice, but the central backup of svn, bazaar etc is a very very nice feature which you get for free.

With zsh, you can just
setopt cdablevars
and omit the cd completely.

The lack of actual evolution when compared to the DS lite re-affirmed me in buying a Pandora. I know their focus is different, but..

That is yet another point. I happen to think it's right, but if you disagree, that's fine, too.

The ions from the bleach will be under whatever you spray on after the fact.
Which is why there was no need for the terms FOSS and then FLOSS, I assume?
By the way, same as OSI has a trademark on Open Source, there is a trademark on canned spiced ham called spam. Popular usage != trademarks.
Of course. But my parent was talking about OSS, not FLOSS. I pondering pointing that out, but did not. Sorry, I should have done..
