I'd play along and respond by saying the files are encrypted and I need the keys, but then I suspect the other guy wouldn't get it and send the case keys...
(remember those? are they still being made...?)

I usually disguise my hard drives that way and the power supplies are make believe hard drives. Until now I always thought that nobody ever noticed that, but now I must look which hard drive is missing. Do you have a version of that image where the name and address of this thief are not blackened out?
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.

Well, it is semi-solid and spins. You gotta give him credit for that much.

When women reach a certain age they start collecting cats – this is called the many paws.

I was sent this today, but it's relevant to this discussion, but not "general lounge fodder": How to make a substitute cat[^]

Yeah that's pretty much most cats, except what you feed them you sometimes find in a gelatinous form somewhere in the main traffic pattern.

They can smell those women : we understand you are 40 and still not married[^] even when they aren't single.

OTOH young men go to the pub to get birds,
when they get older they go to the pet shop.

I have a sneaky suspicion "pet shop" in this context is code for something that's escaping me at the moment...

The instructions on the screen say "Type YES to continue". The written documentation tells you to type "YES" to continue.
[Note from the developer: I make them type the whole word YES because they're about to re-image a drive]
What do they do? They type Y and don't understand why the procedure doesn't continue  .
As far as the horse goes, you shoot the horse and leave it beside the water hole as a warning to others.

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.

Well yes, there is that. Sometimes it's the neighbors you're shooting, so...

What's the alternative to typing "YES"?

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