    You can make sudo timestamps_timeout=0 so that you will always be prompted for the password everytime.

    $sudo visudo

    in there add
    ,timestamps_timeout=0
    at the end of the line that begins with Defaults
    DONE. save and exit (remove .tmp from the filename when saving)

    Great show as usual. Minor request: Can the Genre in the ID3 tag be set to Podcast rather than Vocal? When the genre shows Podcast, the episode shows up in the Podcasts menu of my Archos mp3 player. Otherwise I have to hunt it down by album or artist. Thanks

    For technical segments, I agree that spelling out long command line strings is pretty dull. What you could do is simply put the commands in the show notes and reference them while you’re talking. (eg. “As you can see in command (1) …”) Or it would also be cool if you embedded the commands in the id3/vorbiscomment tags ;)

    love the show!
    in episode 3, one of you mentioned running windows programs using virtualbox, but using ‘unified mode’. this sounds like something i’d like to try. i’m currently running windows in virtualbox, but i’ve searched all over the net and i can’t find any info on this ‘unified mode’ that you speak of. if someone could point me to some info, or maybe it’s ‘officially’ called something else. any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Admin says: Our mistake. It’s called Unified mode in parallels but in Virtual box it’s called Seamless mode.

    Great segment on security. I feel that security is not being given the attention it needs in the world of libre software. And I mean as in policy rather than in code. I have always felt a bit uneasy with sudo, and even more so with just adding some random repository or Firefox plugin. I think libre software will have it’s wake up call when the user base reaches a certain threshold. On the other hand, I’m also convinced that the community is strong enough to overcome it.
