'Logged in' means traceable. Poor bloke is effectively blindfolded being struck from all sides by unknown assailants. If one assailant continually yells "cowabunga" before striking at DAldredge, then DAldredge can at least understand the methodology of cowabunga bellower's attacks. It may or may not contribute to the duel, but it puts the duelists on an equal setting.
Of course, traceable doesn't approximate intelligent input, but it is honourable.
... gravity is also "just a theory". I'd like to see you disbelieve THAT one.
Organic monopole magnatism. And Mother Earth has a heart just like ours that is so big that it keeps life on this planet. And because every element has a 'memory' of what they have been before, all elements just want to stay with Mother Earth. Father Sun has a big heart too.
Agreed their purpose is not different, and I imagine the underlying principle is the same. Yes, it is mostly the 3rd party software that is the problem. It is the ergonomics of the thing.
Most developers would have at least heard of sudo/kdesu/gtksudo previously. Why not implement it verbatim? Most home users will have their own password (hopefully), and business can/should be managing their boxen appropriately. Developers would still be strongly encouraged to use security correctly, and it would be manageable for the end user. Why try make square wheels? NMH syndrome perhaps? If password that is always required to run their software doesn't ring warning bells for the developers/QA then nothing will. I think that UAC version will let some developers just say that "it won't be too bad..."
Heh, I thought it was Ctrl+SysReq. Haven't ever had a reason to use it so its one of those things you push to the back of your mind. Must have a corrupted block or two in there.
Umm... a wire wirelessly push a signal? Lets use the unusual and very exotic term, induction. That means wires wirelessly push signals onto other wires. We could use back emf, too, though that is a little better known. This is a tech site after all.
Um, as I conceded, no rule but convention; as in common usage. Different perspectives dis-colour one's understanding. To everyone I asked, that was a horrible use but no one could actually state a rule either. I couldn't find a rule in the grammar books. Just different dialects. What does "I was wrong" mean to you?
Bloke, they aren't the same despite doing a similar job. There are wood saws that I refuse to use because they are uncomfortable to use; same goes for sudo and UAC. Sudo doesn't get in your way. UAC does. I had to consciously not get into the habit of just clicking ok every time it popped up when I was installing drivers for my system. It kept popping up incessantly. Yes, it can be turned off. But I can't expect my family to use it correctly if I don't. And not all the drivers were available. Installing other software was the same.
Two weeks ago. But then, I was running Kubuntu 7.10 Beta with Compiz Fusion and OpenOffice Beta and a Gl game. (Frozen Bubble.) Locked up my keyboard too.
Okay, it seems that it is another difference between the English and USA languages, and is not a rule but common usage. English speakers perceive the aforementioned usage as horrible. USA speakers seem indifferent. YMMV. I apologise for my mistake and misinformation.
You don't understand how collective nouns and plural pronouns are part of grammar? I hope you speak English as a secondary language, because that is the only way you can get out of that one.
I don't remember the precise rule, but I understand and explained the context.
The hive references were examples of a collective noun in use. Substitute hive with Vallewag. Also, from the context, I didn't think it was clear who was talking. You don't use a plural pronoun as a collective noun. Someone earlier was right that use is ungainly. Ourselves would have been better. Damn; now, I'll spend all day trying to find the rule.
'We' should actually include Pogue because 'we' is plural pronoun not a collective noun such as hive or population. 'Pogue and the hive' would have been fine. 'We doesn't suggest a common group of individuals (a collective), but suggest two or more individuals together in a similar circumstance (the circumstance is what brings them together). Perhaps the confusion comes in that 'we' can refer the collective -- note that it should then refer to everyone. 'Pogue and the hive' becomes 'We, including Pogue, wish...'. (I am assuming that 'we' was refering to NYT. However, whether it is NYT, Cubic Telecom or bloggers the phrase would still be wrong.) I realise it is a subtle difference but hopefully I have made the differences clear.
I'm pretty sure I've been hearing about Longhorn since before Whistler. I remember being surprised that XP was called Whistler as I had been waiting for Longhorn. Then we heard about the feature drop to the 'next' release, which are now in the 'next' release. Longhorn is long in the tooth.

k... so now it becomes my news daily page.
that inkball game is THE reason to upgrade.
Nah, the grocer is selling cereal with the coke poured over it and the cost of the coke built into the price of the cereal.
Then you have never installed Vista.

I'm sorry, I thought that singularity was just a game. I'll stop now.

Do they change the safe words because you have red underpants instead of blue?
Change your preferences to see everything. Thats how I saw you.

Nano-seconds? Decisions like these require careful contemplation "for a very long time..."
HR departments. "Can't process your resume." To which I offer to send the relevant info as plain text. Won't accept it. Has to be .doc :s. Grrr...

Downloading isn't a problem surely. It should be the same no matter your platform assuming similar tools. Ftp, http svn etc.
There weren't any serious mistakes. Just missing some punctuation. My brother can't write so well. (He's 19) No need to apologise.

Except I've never seen how the trade agreements help the average Australian. (NO, Mr Howard, we don't earn 200,000 a year.)
