It means that the user bill gets put into the "admin" group, which gives
them extra permissions.  He's not logged in as the root user, but he does
have elevated permissions (such as being able to shut down).

Rather link to the actual comic page, instead of just the image:
http://xkcd.com/149/
That way, you get to browse the rest of the site, and you get the alt-text
(hover your mouse over the picture for an extra joke) :)
