Some days a lot of minor things really irritate me (perhaps it has something to do with my recent root canal but that's for another thread).
WinXP went a bit south of me when my 'crss.exe' file got corrupted (by a virus, apparently, and then my AV just removed the file, leaving WinXP a bit at a loss for what to do). So I started googling CRSS.EXE and found this:
Summary: Average user rating of csrss.exe: 3 based on 375 votes with 9 reviews.
112 users think csrss.exe is essential for Windows or an installed application. 20 users think it's probably harmless. 86 users think it's neither essential nor dangerous. 69 users suspect danger. 88 users think csrss.exe is dangerous and recommend to remove it. 31 users doesn't grade csrss.exe ("not sure about it").
wtf? Who cares what Average Joe (or Joanna) think about this? Like the average user is going to have a clue about what Windows systems files do? To borrow from an old chess adage, it's like having a bunch of monkeys examine a watch.
Of course, this stuff exists all over in the 'real' world as well. I mean, do you want your neighbor voting on stuff about which they have neither capacity nor motivation to understand (nuclear plants, pipelines, geothermal drilling, spotted wing drosophila---er, scratch that last one).
Bah!
