    How many hours each day do you work on that 3 day work week?

    Yea. Tumors stop growing after you killed yourself.

  4. Re:What this really means on Firefox Gains on IE Again in June · · Score: 1
    Only about a month later, I formatted my HDDs and installed only Linux (trying and switching a few distros in the process to find what I like, Ubuntu). Never been happier with my computer.

    Some of the people I know of would complain about the things they can't figure out how to do after using linux for 0.2 seconds of their life (compared to 5+ years in windows) and would want Windows back on their machine.

    What does the "-r" part of useradd do? I can't find it anywhere in the man page (at least not in Ubuntu Linux's man page of "useradd"). (I know the parent post is a joke.)

    "sudo -i" also works.

    The benefit sudo gives you, however, is you can restrict the users and groups who have this sudo access on a more fine-grained basis, whereas a setuid binary can be accessed by anyone in that group.

    With ACL (Access Control List) support in filesystems now, is sudo really more fine-grained at permissions than setting an ACL on the setuid file? or are they about equal?

    That would work great if they had a network card in their machine.

    Are PC manufacturers still selling machines with floppies? That strikes me as a bit bonkers, if so.

    Imagine the fun in helping someone upgrade their 7+ year old computer and copying over the data from a machine that only had a floppy drive and had no CD burner and no USB ports to their recently purchased machine that has no floppy drive but has a built-in cd/dvd burner.

    That doesn't work for me. Right-clicking any of the bugzilla links and opening in a new tab or a new window gets the error, "Sorry, links to Bugzilla from Slashdot are disabled." While copying the same URL and pasting it into a new window or a new tab doesn't get that error.
