Websites: BugMeNot (shared logins)

Have you ever visited an ugly site requiring registration to access some ordinary info? Tired of countless one-time registrations?
BugMeNot can help: it's the site where you and other ordinary users can share their useless login info (disposable email addresses are usually used for such registrations) for a variety of useless sites :-)

Disclaimer: no warranties, only for educational use, some sites get blocked from the site, and please don't abuse it etc. ;-)

HOWTO: fix gksu not accepting your password

Sometimes you can get into a situation when gksu (or any application dependent on this GTK+ su frontend) doesn't accept your password (while gksudo may work OK).

It can be caused by incorrect gksu settings; to correct the situation:

1. execute gksu-properties (without any arguments), so the "Privilege granting preferences" dialog window should pop up;
2. select the correct authentication mode from the drop-down list:
• su, if the system has an active root user with password;
• sudo, if there's no active root user, and the superuser privileges are granted to a normal user through the use of sudo;
3. close the settings window;
4. finally, try to execute some gksu-dependent stuff to test it.
