When confronted with this idiocy, I managed to escape by closing the dialog box without clicking on any proferred buttons. Not that for a second it excuses the thing, but I find something deeply satisfying about cancelling a stupid question instead of responding to it. Perhaps some system could be developed where developers could find out which questions their program asks are generally cancelled, and rewrite their software not to ask them. Or, almost as good, a USB boxing glove would be installed on the developer machines, and for every 100 cancels of their questions, they would be punched in the face. -josh
