Ubuntu 8.10 - All Hail new Network Manager

Automatic Login

Stephen,

I generally agree that auto login is a security risk, however it does have its uses. One example is a a laptop configured with full drive encryption. Since the key is required to boot the system, and because laptops tend to have only one user, the OS login becomes redundant.

Ubuntu man says Microsoft's about to 'swallow a hand-grenade'

Did Shuttleworth run over your puppy or something? You don't have to agree with the guy and I don't particularly care if you make fun of him, but at least give us more reason as to why other than the fact that he's rich.

Regardless, the whole thing was worth reading just for the mental picture of Ballmer swallowing a hand granade for breakfast. =D
