   It's kinda funny there is still software coming out whose security model is "constantly ask the user for permission, and hope they never make a mistake".

   It's been tried so many times before, and it never worked.

      Back in my pen testing days, the best way to get someone to do something stupid and click Accept on something like a Java Applet permission check was to annoy them. Pop up a few annoying modals and eventually they just click yes on everything.
