More Windows less Linux

It must be said that there are certain features of Windows that I think 'why on earth doesn't Ubuntu employ such methods!'

This is a great little way of editing files as root using the desktop. This saves having to login as root and navigating a text editor! More windows less linux

Step 1
Open a terminal and type:

sudo su

Step 2
Then type:

gedit .gnome2/nautilus-scripts/Open\ as\ root


Step 3
Now add the following three lines of code to the file:

for uri in $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_URIS; do
gksudo "gnome-open $uri" &
done


Step 4

Go back to the terminal and type:

sudo chmod +x .gnome2/nautilus-scripts/Open\ as\ root

Step 5
Reboot the machine and now when you right click on a document and goto scripts, there is the option to open the document as root!

*note that there are certain security implications with this method see this link

why not create a link in a menu or on the desktop to the effect of

"gksu gedit" this will run gedit with root privileges for just that session it will also require a pw to run... am i missing something?

Rihanna and Eminem have teamed up for their latest music hit, Love The Way You Lie. It's full of the most shocking celebrity scandals on the internet, celebrity sex tapes have been leaked, but nothing like the Rihanna naked celebrity sex tape and pictures. Rihanna is always getting naked on stage and on TV, but surprisingly there was no naked action at the Eminem and Rihanna concert this weekend end reports TMZ and Perez Hilton.

Rihanna naked Rodgers arranged for her to go to New York to meet Jay-Z, CEO of Def Jam Records. He heard her sing and knew she was going to be big and for more than just one song. She was 16 when she was signed to Def Jam. Rihnanna's debut album is out now. It's called "Music of the Sun".

Дамы, подскажите, у кого была такая проблема. Ищу средства - народные, аптечные, люкс - для выравнивания цвета лица. Кожа умеренно жирная, ближе к нормальной, быстро загорает, структура довольно неровная, краснеет от всякого воздействия. Хотелось бы выровнять цвет и приблизится к фарфоровому личику. Спасибо за советы.
