[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 238811, member: 2960"] And then people wonder why there are so many viruses and crapware on Windows.... Windows automatically logs you in as root with full access...and gives that same full access to malware and crapware that floats around the internet. If you were to invoke root and let it run all the time, then your system would be all but defesnseless against that kind of crap. Mac OS X and *nix systems prevent this by requiring authentication. Just one of the resons why they are more stable and secure than Windows. In this day and age of internet/computer security..ID theft...viruses...malware..etc....essesntially, you are asking to make your system less secure and make it vulnerable to attack.... and that my friend, is even more of a joke.
