The name of Windows
Today the name of fucking Windows (see note) is Ubuntu 8.04.
Did I ask too much? All I want is just change my password. And I got this great "error" message from passwd utility
Bad: new and old password are too similar
Hey, dear Bill Gates Mark Shuttleworth, you know - my password on my computer is not your fucking business. The simple fact that I don't use some nice GUI utility for password change shows you that I know what I am doing.
And yes, I know about pam and about sudo passwd trick. The problem is I need to use some special tricks to convince my operating system that I am not an idiot. Welcome to Windows (see note) world. Hello real world, good-bye Linux.
BTW, do we have Registry editor for Linux? Oh, we still don't have registry mechanism in Linux? Thank you very much. I afraid this situation will end soon - Ubuntu 15.10 will disable command line (it is very easy to issue wrong command using command line, isn't it?), it will require complete reinstall every half year (because of garbage in registry file), it will have a lot of viruses/antivirus software, trojans, adaware, Malicious Software Removal Tool, Ubuntu authentication service and it will work only on Pentium-16 (at least 5TeraHz) almost as fast as Slackware 1.0 on 486. I hope I will die before.
