you can't thats part of the unix core.
& its not as bad as vista at all.. its an amazing security feature.
and its mostly just for new apps, unlike vista where it prompts every second click.

Is it asking you for your password just to copy stuff to the applications folder? If that's the case, you might be running as a non-admin user. Change your account to an admin account to avoid that.
If you're being asked by real "installers" though, that's normal. Any time you mess with system files and folders, you'll need to authorize it.
