<style type="text/css">p {margin:0;}</style><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">That wouldn't work for a valid patent.<br><br>I wouldn't remove sudo. Sudo has been in use since the 80's. Microsoft's patent doesn't change the fact that it existed before Microsoft filed for a patent. If I recall, they also filed for a patent on linked lists, which has also been used for decades. I think it was invented in the 60's.<br><br>----- Original Message -----<br>From: "David Overcash" <funnylookinhat@gmail.com><br>To: "CLUE certification" <clue-cert@cluedenver.org><br>Sent: Wednesday, November 11, 2009 4:37:15 PM GMT -07:00 US/Canada Mountain<br>Subject: Re: [clue-cert] STOP using SUDO<br><br>Or we'll just start using "suto" instead of "sudo" - just like ifconfig instead of ipconfig<br><br>:-)<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Nov 11, 2009 at 3:58 PM, Mark Stang <span
