I don't like sudo asking me password all the time (almost all the time...). As there is no root login in Ubuntu, sudo is the most used command :)
Here is how to tell sudo not to ask for password...
Run visudo, it is a command recommended for editing sudoers list...visudo
Or if you are an expert, then directly edit the file /etc/sudoersvi /etc/sudoers
Add this line to the end of the file (this should be the LAST line!!!)...username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
where username is your Ubuntu username.
This works for almost all distributions of Linux

Nice tip, thanks.
And to prevent sudo to remember your password

As you probably know it's there for a good reason. Removing sudo takes away a massive part of the security design of Ubuntu which is good when enforced.
Read more about it at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo#Remove%20Password%20Prompt%20For%20sudo
Don't get me wrong its a good tip, and useful, but it isn't recommended.

I agree completely... this was meant for those who know what they are doing...
