My advice - stick to FC14 'til somebody at RH notices the stupidity of the gnome/FC15 upgrade and wait for the correction.
You do realize that RH doesn't actually control what's going on in Fedora, right? Sure, a lot of Fedora developers work at RH but it's still a community distribution.
That aside, Fedora has always been about staying close to upstream. If you know this, you would also know that this means you get new 'products' sooner than other distributions. Eventually Debian and the like will also ship GNOME 3 if they decide to ship GNOME.
There are many bugs in PA that need to be solved. I see a lot of people complaining about that but very few actually helping out to fix them. Linus couldn't create Linux on his own. It only got the the place it is now by many supporters. Maybe people should put some effort in helping Poettering instead of bitching.
Is it possible to check compatibility of installed extensions before your upgrade? Other than going to the homepage of each extension, that is.
If not, that would be a nice option:
"A new version of firefox is available. Checking list of extensions for compatibilty issues... Done! From 10 installed extensions, the following are incompatible with the new version. Would you still like to upgrade?"
I'll reply to you, but this is for all the folks saying this is not terrorism. Terrorists are not always the people you describe. Same goes for pirates (those Somalians don't all walk around with a wooden leg and a parrot yelling "Arr matey!"). What a terrorist's primary goal is, is to create fear. So much fear that actions performed by that body (in this case, Telstra) will rethink, alter or even abandon their intentions or actions. LulzSec has done exactly that. Forget about what CNN & Co. are teaching you about terrorists and look at the basic definition.
That's kind of a long shot. Tricking a user with adduser permissions usually means you trick the root user. The one who probably set up the sudoers. If he's that easily tricked, i don't need the sudoers file to do harm.
Yes. And to others who have also said this: i did say i'm using that solution now to give permissions to users. What i meant is that wildcards for users in sudoers file would be a nice feature.
is wildcards in usernames. For example, i have multiple users that i have named 'test-user1', 'test-user2', etc. Now if i want to give them sudo access for a certain set of commands, i would either have to create an entry for each user in sudoers, or place them all in a group and put that in the sudoers file. Both are not quite optimal as it requires me to maintain the sudoers file manually (i want it to be dynamic) or maintain a separate group on posix level.
What would be nice is if sudo would allow me to create a test-* entry. Maybe vsys can do that. Although that's the only missing feature of sudo i would actually need. For the rest, sudo suits my needs just fine.
gnome-shell hurts productivity as well, taking away all the nice features that were in gnome 2. Like hamster-applet and being able to easily customize.. well, anything! Sure if you know javascript it's cool, but for those who were used to adding items to gnome-panel the new gnome-shell is horribly complex to use and customize.
It feels like we just jumped 10 years back in time.
I'm going to read that book (again.. for the Nth time). And if anything they say is true, there probably won't be a rapture since the forces of Heaven and Hell will be too busy trying to slay eachother.
I wholeheartedly agree. It took me some days to fully get the hang of it, but now i can't browse without it any more. I love the control you have and the speed with which you can browse the intarweb.
I came across it by accident because i just wanted a way to kill firefox using:wq:)

at least it actually teaches you something
Nice reference :)

Nice, it seems to have fixed this problem. Even though the main problem was actually in glibc.

the terrorists won
yes, terrorists, i've said it.
we need more solarkini's!!

Now nmap, tcpdump, telnet and the like will all be banned! :|
Oh, they said hacking tools. Great, no more C(++), java, assembly etc.
Well, i'll go back to lego now.
I thought only ChromeOS was used by Google employees.
mod this up to see my boobies
Yeah, and then shoot itself.

wow, it was just a coincidence that there were 42 comments when i posted, since now there are 51
Thanks /. editors! :)
A lot of usernames suddenly include a number 42, there are 42 comments, and there's probably things i haven't seen yet.
Thanks! :)

Another big feature is that when somebody else tries to use your browser, they will give up frustrated by the fact that "nothing works like usual" :D

does this already
and gives you handy vim commands to control your browser
