Auto-hide is cool.

sudo su - Give your password, get privileges. ;)

I may be over simplifying things but... If you want to remove a directory structure, I've always just used: rm -R folder This will remove the "folder" and all sub-folders. To test this, I created a temp folder in my current folder. mkdir temp mkdir temp/tmp1 touch temp/tmp1/file1 mkdir...

I don't remember ever seeing an ad on this site. Then again, there are times I don't remember my name! I'm running NoScript, Adblock Plus & Ghostery, running a Firefox browser. I haven't seen many, if any Ads on any sites I frequent in quite a long time. Well, Thinking about it... Maybe...
