Death be not proud,
though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so,
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,
Much pleasure: then from thee much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.
Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate
men,
And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell;
And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well
And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then?
One short sleep past, we wake eternally,
And death shall be no more. Death, thou shalt die.
John Donne
Destructive
Bad:
Yes, makes sense that the Don't something is always on the left, or is it... The destructive option should always be on the
On second thought, no data is really lost if you do quit Safari in the middle of a download, as long as the source has content-range support for downloading (or whatever its proper name is). It will not finish the download, but you can always resume it later. So it seems I've jumped the gun here, the only confusing part is that the similarity between destructive Don't save and the mostly-non-destructive Don't Quit might lead people to believe that Don't Quit is indeed destructive, a remark about the resumable-ness of downloads would be helpful.
p.s.
In first case, Save instead of Cancel is the default, I suppose the default option is the one that makes most sense in that particular case, and I think destructive in this scope means data in memory that is lost before saved to disk, the same reason the red traffic-light close button changes state whenever you have documents with non-saved data.On the other hand, Save does have the possibility of overwriting existing data, so it's still destructive? I just tried this out, and am pleasantly surprised by this:
Seems they did their homework, even in the case of overwriting, a new warning pop up, default is non-destructive.
