but: There is no spoon!

idealistic totalitary.

Read: People in charge of something _can_ decide to do it a certain way. On the other hand they have enough integrity to remove themselves from the job if they see someone better. (Note this implies that the person in charge can effectively decide about his/her successor, but it would also imply that the successor would immediately remove him/herself if he thinks he's not the right person for the job)

Yeah I know dreaming away....that would actually require people (including me) to be honest with themselves...

So you order a hot drink and the company should be responsible for switching your brain on to simply feel how hot it is by softly touching the cup or bringing your nose and lips close to it so that you will feel it's to hot for immediate consumption?

Oh right you order about 0.3l of hot coffee and immediately pour it down your throat in about 0.2secs, just like you do it with the coffee in the morning...yeah right...

How is driving drunk and running over some other person not murder?

Personally I see 2 things:

a) One is not allowed to drive under the influence of any drugs (drugs == simple list)
b) A drunk person has murdered another person

The question alone of "Is 'manslaughter' by drunk driving murder?" implies that you deal with the existing cornercases of the law. Drop that and you will see that after all it's simply murder.

Killing in self-defense is also murder, people with integrity should be able to decide wether one can get away with that (Very roughly speaking: "Either die yourself or kill the other person" Is something you get away with if you didn't start the physical attack in the first place.)

hmmmm how long would it take before I switch the search engine?

OK, i read most of the stuff here but still don't get the point (I'm trying to have this as simple as possible),

(Assumption)
1. Fresh install the only user that has been created is now logged in

Case 1:
I log in and downlaod $software that isn't a .pkg but rather a .app which I just drag'n drop to my applications folder.
Now this installer goes wacko and installs some kernel module without asking

Case 2:
I log in and download $software which is a .pkg, I double click it and the installer starts (without asking for my password, which I have never seen happening by now)
Now this installer goes wacko and installs some kernel module without asking

Case 3 (and that's what I just tried and why I'm confused):
I have a fresh install here and open up System Preferences (by what was said before I am an admin but not root)
I go to the user Option and want to add a user
Now unless I unlock the settings (where I have to enter MY PASSWORD which authenticates me as being allowed to run something as root) it wont't let me add users even thou I'm an Admin
(ok this is apple software this is a potential candidate for not doing something nasty)

Now either the lock is just graphical gadgets that disabled the widgets and I could still do it without authenticating thru the API (which would then be a bug)
or I simply can't do it without authenticating (which means to me that it isn't a bug in the API but rather in the usage)
