The kraziest thing is the huge number of applications & features whose name starts with a k, making finding them in menus a krapshoot, a klusterfukk and a kolossal waste of time.

Comment Re:A tedious film (Score 0) 79

Totally agree. I saw it in 1977 at the cinema (I was aged 10 or 11) and thought it was crap. Just another crappy cowboy film but in space with lots of lights and sounds. It was so disappointing. Wondered as an adult if I'd misunderstood it so went with gf to see it when it was re-released to cinema (late 90s?) I'd been right the first time. The cinema was full of grown ups, not kids, and the film was so lame people were laughing at it. We didn't stay until the end. It's clearly a kids' film and has plots and characters no better than Bonanza or High Chaparral.

Comment Why wait for the install to complete? (Score 2) 73

Why wait for the install to complete? I remember installing XP in around 2000, direct to ISP's Motorola Cable Modem, no firewall. The install failed as it was compromised by a worm, sasser or blaster I guess, *during* the install. I had to start again, install offline and install a software firewall from CD before going online.
