Do you have any thoughts on the fact that, at least in the case I
described, a non-Admin user can alter settings for other users?

As can they alter settings on a Mac. Big f*cking deal.

How can a non-Admin user alter settings for other users on a Mac...
assuming they are not, of course, using an admin ID and password!

I look forward to seeing your wise words on this, Steve. :)

And, of course, you had no such words. You made a claim about OS X - that
it would allow a non-Admin user to make such changes for other OS X users.
That, really, gets back to the point of the thread - not your BS trolling
that is, frankly, boring.

So do you have anything to add that is *on topic*... such as giving an
example of what you state about OS X, above?

I would welcome you to give an on topic response... but if all you are going
to do is snip, run, and spew your hate filled lies what value do you think
you offer *anyone*?

Didn't you know about the "value" to CSMA provided by Steve? Steve is
responsible for 95% of the BS off topic trolling on the group!

I knew this *** Snit was missing something... and then along comes
'sphincter John' ;)

So, Steve, between your useless BS name calling, can you actually pause for
a moment and talk about how a non-Admin user can alter settings for other
users on OS X... something, above, you claim they can do

I would welcome you actually speaking *on topic* in this thread. Please.
How can a non-Admin OS X user do as you state?

To quote Steve from an earlier message in this thread:

"I can, from a user account, hold down the control, option and Apple
keys on a
modern Mac while pressing the number 8 and it will "screw with"
others
(who may want to run graphics apps or whatever)... and it'll stay that
way when I log out. There is no video card in this equation..."

Assuming that does in fact stay in effect when a normal user logs off,
that's the same "problem" you're talking about with display drivers on
Windows.
