So, you add code to check: "You typed 'Y'. Did you mean 'YES'? (Type 'YES' if you did)"
If they still type "Y", ask them to confirm by typing the numbers on the back of their bank card.

Unfortunately this is all done in WinPE (Windows Pre-installation Environment), and even the final install won't have an Internet connection, so there's no good way to get bank card numbers back to home base.
I like your thinking, however .

A corollary to this is: "You can lead an human to knowledge, but you cannot make him think."
Question: Do we shoot the human also and add a footnote that that human has been killed because of stupidity (hopefully we shoot him before he gets to reproduce).

When natural selection is too slow, certainly. Do be advised that the neighbors tend to frown on it, so it's polite to get their approval first.

What's the alternative to typing "YES"?

A message is displayed, it waits for a keypress, and then the machine reboots normally.

If they're so undecided they just type part of the confirmation, then respond by just re-imaging part of their drive. They probably won't do that twice.

I was suprised he was only 49, seems like Prodigy have been around forever.

What a waste of a good stout! Surely that should be drunk seperately while preparing the rest???

nothing wrong with wine in the cooking, especially when the spirit's in the cook.

Best tv-chef ever. He ALWAYS cooked with wine. No matter what he did.
I miss him!

There is only one beer that is adequate for us anyway: Bitburger[^].
On the other hand: A Bitburger with lettuce and tomatoes does also sound good.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.
