The confirmation for password is one of the strongest security features in linux distributions, in Vista are "notifications" and that's annoying.

But, you can use the root account, set a password for root and use only that account, with that account no password is required. (btw awful idea).

You can edit /etc/sudoers too and modify it.

username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

Awful idea too. But you have the choice.

Therefore this would open a big hole in your computer security at the first Flash plugin vulnerability in your browser.

VERY bad idea.
