My thoughts on this.. why not split it up into multiple 'keyboards' and have it briefly flash all letters in each 'keyboard' once at the beginning of each character.. use short-circuiting logic and have it go for the most common letters first. Seems you should be able to get this up to speed in very little time!
You are correct in saying that medical intervention is limited in both groups. They are not, however, limited to the same extent.
One of the few restrictions placed on Christians is that of abstaining from blood. Thus, a Christian would not accept the transfusion of whole blood or medicine derived from significant components of blood (like red cells, white cells, plasma, etc). That restriction aside, the types of medicine one will accept is largely up to what their conscience will allow, seeing as how most medicine does not contradict the principles taught in the Bible.
My father always expressed a 'DNR' attitude. He did not want extraordinary means to be used to prolong his life. That's certainly within his rights to feel that way. I personally feel that it's a bit more of a gray area. My attitude is that as long as I live, I may be capable of accomplishing something good. Ergo, the longer I live, the better. Death is not to be feared, as the Bible promises that 'the works of the devil' will be broken up - death being one of such works.
If those words happen to be the same as they are in mandarin (both sounding like bow and transliterated to 'bao' with different accents) then yes, tonal differences aside, the words are pronounced the same.
The differences, if I remember correctly (and, again, if they're the same in cantonese as they are in mandarin), is that the 'bread' bao is said with a 'falling' tone, so it sounds like you shout! the 'b' sound and the 'ao' comes out in a lower tone. On the other hand, the 'full' bao is said with a 'falling-rising' tone, so you start it at your baseline, drop down a note, and come back up to baseline.
Any of these words spoken slowly enough can be differentiated with practice. Unless, of course, the listener is tone-deaf. That would present some difficulties.
Now I'm as anti-microsoft as the next slashdotter, but I think you may be selling Vista short. In my almost year-and-a-half of running Vista on my laptop, I've never had a brush with malware. Now, granted, I consider myself generally to be not retarded, and so that immediately heads off most malware attack venues, but I think there is still something to be said for Vista's security enhancements.
Plus, if you can manage to get corrupted system files on Vista (it updates -constantly-), you're probably doing something way outside of the ordinary.
As one final point, my default install of Vista has disk defrag running on a weekly basis. If you can still find a way to get to 28% fragmented then I do believe you have disqualified yourself in every way from being a good candidate for a benchmark - you are not representative of a typical demographic.
I strongly agree with you, and I happen to be one such easily amused person. That, of course, doesn't mean that discretion should go out the door. There are still fairly well-defined lines that, when crossed, will be offensive to a large demographic. The topic at hand is probably an example of a line that has been crossed.

It doesn't seem like this is something that would leave a lot of potential for abuse, save for tricking someone into being late for work by routing them into a heavily trafficked area.
If your time isn't free then spending time watching Television will always cost you something. What will you do, demand that the government decree your time valueless so that you can sleep easy knowing that you can watch TV for free?
Then don't delete them. Change their permissions to disinclude system/whatever account and allow -only- whichever account you're running as. Then change the value of the reg key (assume it's pointing to a file to start up?) and reboot. When you've rebooted, they haven't. Feel free to delete the file/registry entries now.;)
Much to my chagrin, I found that "could care less" is actually a proper phrase. Unfortunately, it means the same exact thing as "couldn't care less." Reference.
I feel the same way. Nothing inherently amazing about the technology that drives the App Store. I'll agree it's a breakthrough, insofar as it's highly divergent from an existing model. At the same time, I'm not at all impressed.:)
Bender: Yo, old guy. Why do we need to use those tiny microdroids? Can't you just shrink us? Professor Hubert Farnsworth: Oh, my, no. That would require extremely tiny atoms, and have you priced those lately? I'm not made of money. Leave me alone!
Thanks for the corrections. Sometimes my memory leaves something to be desired. And certainly I knew very little of the underlying medical issues - House clearly did not cover all of that.:)
I just watched a House rerun last night on the USA channel with exactly this topic.
A fifteen year-old supermodel punched a chick on the catwalk and then passed out (but didn't, because she was aware).
They made a ton of dialog relate to just how perfect this girl was, with her "perky, all natural breasts" and her "perfect heart-shaped butt" and so on.
They narrowed it down to her having cancer, causing anterograde amnesia and short term memory loss as well as involuntary body spasms, cataplexy and severe aggression. When they did the scans for cancer, they couldn't find anything. When they looked for ovarian cancer, the ovaries weren't enlarged in any way, "if anything, they're undersized."
House has his epiphany when he's faced with a pregnant woman whose husband has grown breasts, can't sleep because his teeth hurt and is experiencing morning sickness. He has already written the husband off because it's "just couvade's" - sympathetic pregnancy. He comments to the wife that she has "the perfect husband, a woman."
He explains to the supermodel and her dad that in the womb, testes are supposed to a) turn into ovaries for woman, b) descend for men. With a certain form of hermaphoroditism neither happens and the body is effectively immune to the effects of testosterone. The result: 'the perfect woman.' As such, she was really a boy, and he had a tumor on one of his testicles.

When your name is 'RoFLKOPTr' it's probably pretty easy to think that everything is funny - especially when it isn't.

Interesting, but hardly to be considered comprehensive.
It's easy enough to parse just the root domain and other telling parts of the URL for sites that attempt to use 'security' of that sort.

So, your time is free too?

Knock it off with the half-baked trolls, already.

didn't even register in my head, maybe I read too much Shakespeare?
Same for me, except that it was playing Runescape what did it for me..
You RSers know what I'm talking about. :)
