Wellllll ... IMHO, people like this are lamers ... using sudo
means (in most cases) you have to type an extra 5 characters:
    "s" "u" "d" "o" " "

The benefits of logging/accountability far outwieght the cost
of typing those 5 characters and I'm more than happy to do so
myself just so there is a record of what I did (and what I didn't do).

My two cents ... or I guess 5 Bytes!    ;-)
alek

P.S. BTW, I bet if they looked, many of those command may NOT
require root privilages - so you should not be using root for
'em in the first place - principal of leave privilage.
