From: "Geo" 

I don't mind the computer asking for an admin password before allowing
something, heck I set my firewall to require one to make any changes. What
I don't like is when I tell the computer to do something and it just flat
says no. Like when you use taskmanager to kill a task and it says
"denied". What, like I need some programmer to decide the
administrator has no right to terminate a process running on the machine?

That's like a car that says sorry, can't stop now you're in traffic as
opposed to just asking for a password before stopping.
