'"Foo" is an application which was downloaded from the Internet. Are
you sure you want to open it?'
I seriously hate this error message in Mac OS X 10.5. I know I
downloaded it. I don't give a damn what you, the OS, thinks about
it. Just open it, dammit.
Yes, I know that some people don't know what the hell they are doing.
But this is primarily caused by Safari having the DEFAULT of unpacking
downloaded files, so in theory, someone's browser could automatically
download something, automatically unpack it or mount it as a disk
image, and then it could be automatically run.
I get it.
But here's the thing: I turn off your stupid default, and unpack/mount
things manually. So why should I be subjected to your weak attempt to
idiot-proof your own misfeature?
And sometimes, this warning message is even placed on *plain text
files I open in a text editor.* No kidding. It fills me with teh hate.
