Where as I hang my head in despair. I'm all for making Unix easy to use,
but getting users into the habit of doing something as blatantly high
risk as this is just broken beyond belief. You're downloading a random
script from the internet, and piping it directly into a root shell?
If anyone ever hijacks the go-gome.com domain, you're in a whole world
of hurt...
