Most people are very nervous about running binaries on a unix box that
they get off the net, and nobody runs a setuid-to-root binary on their
system unless they paid $$$ for it and got it from a reputable vendor. I
personally only run one binary on my machine that I didn't compile myself
- that's Netscape.

"Past the wounds of childhood, past the fallen dreams and the broken families,
through the hurt and the loss and the agony only the night ever hears, is a
waiting soul. Patient, permanent, abundant, it opens its infinite heart and
asks only one thing of you ... 'Remember who it is you really are.'"
