Can anyone provide any good reason for leaving the executable bits on FAT and NTFS partitions? It just makes people annoyed, especially new users coming from Windows and wanting to read something from their Windows partition. If anyone wants to execute scripts from a FAT/NTFS partition then he can use "source filename" or "sh filename". This would be a much better behaviour because no user would be tricked by some hacker to "open some cool file from his pendrive".
