In windows there are too many ways to get elevated. And only one level of elevation.
- pjmlp 13y agoNormal users just set them without thinking twice about it. Do you know one of the most asked questions in Mac OS X user forums from new users is how to disable root?
- pgeorgi 13y agonot as if users care about watching out before setting +x. After all, there are tons of popular projects requesting users to run "curl http://.. http://... | sudo sh" and consider that a good idea, too.
- Pxtl 13y agoExactly. This is just a more elaborate form of Windows little pop-up-boxes asking you "are you sure you want to...." I keep trying to teach my nephews that the default answer to that question is no... but of course, "yes" is the way you get anything done.
