StarWars intercom

What came to _my_ mind when I read that was the scene in the first (now fourth) Star Wars, where Han gets a bit tongue-tied and blasts the intercom in the dungeon of the Death Star.

"Stupid conversation".

I suspect many folks here can relate to the urge, and that goes for Windows, *nix, and MacOS users. Rather than click OK in the "dialog box" (as if "You're screwed: accept_immediately/whine_and_accept" is much of a dialog) wouldn't slagging that sucker down make you feel better?
