Indeed. You should try this Oldrocker. For years, I thought computers were impossibly difficult technical things. Then picked up a book on "how to build your own computer" from a library sale, and watched some YouTube videos on basic home computer repair. And discovered that all it took to "repair" computers was the ability to open them and re-seat the RAM (in some cases, replace the RAM), remove dust, and speed up slow ones by re-installing Windows.
With your frozen desktop computer, you will need: some sort of screwdriver. Open the casing. Follow Billwill's instructions, gently, and it should start working again.
The way that every good guy or bad guy on every American action show knows Kung Fu.
I vividly remember this trend starting with Buffy where even 3000 year old Mesopotamian demon mummies were running around going: Judo chop, judo chop.
Now every time there is a fist fight, even the lowliest street mugger is suddenly doing back flips and jump kicks. It kind of destroys the urban, gritty feel of a programme when the local smackheads are suddenly poncing about like bleedin' Power Rangers.

Doesnt work with cats
Somewhere in this world there is a human who is responsible for Hotmail. I want to hack that human to death with a rusty axe. The shite that is happening, or not happening when it should, is bloody unbelievable. I'm so sick of the shambles that I want to KILL!

Not like the good old days of Kirkfu.

Any fights I've ever seen IRL have involved what resembled more wrestling, where two men hug each other to the ground, failing to land any decent punches. When punches do accure, it usually takes the receiver down pretty quick.
Martial arts so look very hammy in anything because these days they're too obsessed with fast cuts that make it look very staged. I'm not saying the old days we better but at least you could see what was happening and any stunts looked like they were happening, dodgy or not.
The fighting in House of Fools got it about right.
i remember an old episode of The Professionals about a training school for elite Soviet assassins. Most of the recruits looked like they would struggle to take out the trash. The actual fight scenes were in slow motion: the film had not been slowed down, that was just how fast their reactions were.
The world has certainly moved on.
