Comment 47 for bug 192629

In other words stop putting your security concerns above the issue and solve it!

If you want to keep your smelly security concerns next to your heart, FINE but SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

Otherwise the user has one more good reason to just rip the OS off and revert to Windows. What about your security concerns then? Keep this up and you will have the most secure OS that no one uses.

A frigging YEAR now, at least, I posted this bug. Still an issue! Good Grief!

Let me think. Ok I have a hard drive attached to my PC. I'm running Ubuntu. Ubuntu says that because it would be insecure to allow this, we can't just allow normal users to delete files from an NTFS partition by default. Hm, so if I'm a dastardly user with criminal intent how do I get around this, hm. Gee, those default-configuration security restrictions are so effective at stopping me from accessing and even deleting those files. Whoops, I can access them just fine. I just can't DELETE them.

You pinheads are arguing about whether the barn door should be allowed to be closed by a generic farmhand by default long after the horses have left the barn, or whether the farmhand should have to go and fetch the owner just to get the door closed, on the sheer basis that maybe just fing maybe the owner wouldn't want the farmhands to be able to close the barn door after the horses have been let loose, but *would* want them to be free to open the door and let the horses out in the first place. How freaking stupid can you get.
