Restore Superuser (sudo)

Question:

So I accidentally took the superuser out of the administrators group, and now I can't execute any sudo commands.

Is there any way to restore the superuser permissions, or am I headed for reinstalland?

Thanks.

Fruitphone -- Find Files Fast

*Please note, that you do not need to run as root in order to install fruitphone
*Also, please note that this isn't a "program"; it's just a script. It should work on any unix system, such as linux, BSD (OpenBSD, FreeBSD, etc), Solaris, etc, etc, etc. It shouldn't matter what architecture you're on either, be it x86, AMD64, Sparc, PPC, etc, etc. It might also work on Microsoft Windows, through the use of cygwin, though I haven't personally tested this myself.

I don't use Xorg most of the time, so I'm stuck browsing through files on the command line. I made a script that when run, lists every file on the disc, and automatically sorts the findings into alphabetical order, and tells you how many files it finds.

How the documentation is important to the GNU/Linux world? Why we need a documentation?

Basically this is crucial point for any project. The documentation is something like a gate to the project, new users go through that gate to enter in the project and if that gate is broken the user could go in the wrong direction.

21 of the Best Free to Download Closed-Source Applications

Software licenses stir up emotive feelings in the Linux community. Licenses generally fall into one of two broad categories: proprietary licenses and open source licenses. The type of software license an application uses is significant in the effect it has on the rights of the user of the application, and whether a programmer chooses to contribute his or her time to its development.

For example, the founder of KDE (K Desktop Environment), Matthias Ettrich, decided to use the Qt toolkit.  At the time, Qt did not use a free software license.  Many programmers interested in developing KDE strongly objected to using Qt, and set about creating their own desktop environment (GNOME) based entirely on freely distributable software.
