No to All?

Why isn't there a "No to All" option in Windows? That's one thing that always bugged me. Say when I'm coming all the files from one directory to another, and I never want the new files to overwrite files in the old directory, why should I have to keep clicking 'no'? Am I missing something?

Holding shift while clicking "No" will do "No to All". Why they didn't just stick a "No to All" button is beyond me. Maybe they thought it'd make the dialog box too big. =P

It's not like there're hundreds of liquor stores in the town, I'm guessing. I like how they keep referring to him as Mr. Jackson...

English words that are borrowed from Malay

I really like studying etymology and the origins of words, and I'm interested in the fairly omnivorous nature of English, which has a huge "borrowed" vocabulary. (Random fact: "bugger" is related to "Bulgaria".) So I thought every now and then I'd put up random lists of words English borrows from various languages - well, besides French, German, and Spanish, or I'll exhaust myself from typing. I thought I'd start with Malay, national language of Singapore. Wikipedia already has a partial list , but I thought I'd come up with a list that also included a few other loan words. The obvious ones are words for things that are indigenous to the region - plants (durian, rambutan, bamboo, sago, camphor ), animals (orang-utan, pangolin, cassowary), and cloth ( gingham , sarong). But there's a whole bunch that're less obvious, even to native English speakers from this region: amok . If you asked me to name one English loan word that'
