With the help of several other people (a group design!) from this years Boston GNOME Summit. I was finally able to rework one of the important dialogs many update applications suffer from. I think the end result is more fun, intuitive, and thus probably more secure. 
I’ve got a bunch more made up as well that I’ll post later.
You should make a lolcat hackergotchi and put it there instead of the default icon
Surely the iconography on the aptly-named “haz seekrit key” button isn’t correct?
(this is still more usable than yes/no buttons btw)

Chris: That was a tough editorial decision.
The button text was decided because the main text of the dialog is basically asking if the _Computer_ can have the key. A weird question for the person to answer in lolcat speak or regular terms.
Yeah, I got the text okay, just confused about the “return” icon (as opposed to something more suitable, such as a green tickbox, or a cheezburger).
So is there a mailing list for the lolcat L10 team yet? This is clearly an attractive niche market!
– Chris
Ah, good point. The icon is the default “Continue” icon. *shrug*
At the Summit we wondered how much work it would be to create the LOLcale we all really desire. I think using a script to handle most of the conversions and then improving the rest by hand would let us cover significant ground.
HAI
Are there LOLCAT bindings for GNOME?
KTHBYE
Please don’t post anymore. lolCats lost their appeal about a month after they were first introduced.
But the *real* question is:
Wherez kitteh?!
Maybe there should be a whole en-LOL localization
Hai, Ceiling Cat knows ur sekrit key. I has it!
kthxbye
