+1 from me for the `curl | sudo sh` disclaimer. Even if the only thing it does is stop people complaining about it :)

- JoelMcCracken 12y agoI always like seeing and doing curl foo.sh / sudo bash foo.sh
- mindslight 12y agoEven if there were five cute disclaimers, suggesting that command would still be irresponsible. The problem is that it hurts the people who are the least knowledgeable. Anyone with a modicum of experience downloads the script first, finds out it's 475 lines, and then chooses a different method that is at least tracked by git. At least get rid of the wholly-unnecessary sudo. At that point, it would at least be comparable to tar xvzf rust.tgz && ./rustc (still less auditable though).
