This is a pretty good reason to never trust Chrome again.


I wouldn't trust any computer, then.

It's the same as taking a bunch of code you have no idea how works, and paste it into CMD, then wondering why you just deleted C:/


Exactly, how many developers can honestly say they've never copy pasted commands into the terminal without being 100% sure what they were doing?


Hesitantly, I will claim that I can say this because I cannot remember every pasting a command in I did not take the time to understand.


I would indeed not trust any OS that allows you to erase the root filesystem without at least asking for the superuser password :)


Funny that Windows does not even allow Administrator to do it. Ubuntu on other side asks only for user password (sudo)

:-)


>Ubuntu on other side asks only for user password

It's the user password of an admin user. What other password can it possibly ask for? a global su password?


So you're fine with Google allowing coders to change the function of the dev console? Interesting...
