Right. Ctrl-shift-right-arrow, followed by shift-delete. CTRL-SHIFT with the left hand, right-arrow with the right. That's a single keystroke, and maybe it takes a while to get used to.

Total = 2 keystrokes and 1) I get to see (highlighted) what exactly it is I'm deleting before doing so, 2) I get to see exactly what will be on the clipboard, and 3) I don't have to memorize or mentally map arbitrary keys based on ASCII terminals from the 70's.

Incidentally, Schmidt was Chief Security Officer at Microsoft prior to his stint at the white house. Perhaps his belief that security is primarily a coder-level responsibility relates in some way to the security level of Microsoft's products while he worked there.

It's possible you have a ground loop problem. You might want to throw a ground loop isolator (Model VRD-1FF) at it. Worked for me anyhow.
I still don't know how to/if it's possible to speed up channel changes. You can type "o" (or map it to a remote button) to bring up the channel info, where you can browse until you find a show you want to watch, and then "enter" to change it to that channel.
I like your analogy. I'd change it so that the two cars are:
- Car A is such that if the taxi driver makes an error, the car explodes, killing everyone in it instantly.
- Car "C" is such that the taxi driver is a serial killer who picks up passengers, hunts down, tortures, and kills their immediate families, and then slowly, painfully kills the passengers.
Neither is particularly desirable, but I'd still take car A.:)
I can only assume the reason they care is that they get income from licencing fees for publication in the private sector. Like, when Frommers publishes "Ney York City on just $500 a day", it will contain licensed copies of subway maps, etc. So, when this stuff is published without license, there is a potential loss of income as demand for licensed product declines. These licensing fees actually decrease the tax burden on you.
what we need is more centralization of libraries, not the wild-west free-for-all that would result from what you're advocating.
What we really need is static linking, with dynamic in-memory sharing of libraries that happen to be the same. That way, what library happens to sit on your disk doesn't present a security risk, and once it's loaded, no RAM is wasted. With disk space as cheap as it is, it seems reasonable to me anyhow.
For consumer-level movie viewing, there will be no market for either of the new formats. This is like the question of whether SACD or DVD-Audio was going to replace CDs. The answer was neither. Internet distriubution did, or at least is in the process of doing so. Blu-Ray and HD-DVD may find niche markets among "videophiles", but these formats are both going to end up being next-generation DVD-ROM formats for data. Even if mass-market internet-based movie distibution were not viable (and i think it will be soon), the average Joe doesn't perceive the existing DVD movie format as lacking enough to make him go out and buy the "next great thing".
The current hacks aren't people writing C and asm code for the thing. It's generally things like PC utility programs to resize jpegs, reformat video to mpeg4, converting text to jpeg for lack of a general text viewer, etc.
Perhaps you unintentionally enabled automatic updates, which IIRC is the default setting for one of those patches you downloaded prior to SP2 being installed.
So every time I subscribe to a mailing list, I've got to go through some convoluted process of receiving a magic email and then adding the sender to the whitelist.
Don't you already get "magic emails" and go through a convoluted process for most mailing lists to confirm that you want to be on the list?
OK for you and me, but if Microsoft implement this they will just automate the process so you only have to click "ok" on a popup.
POPUP: "Do you wish to receive mail from the sender 'V|4GRA-= CIA7IS =CHEAP'? [Yes] [No]"
So Joe Sixpack will click "ok" when he gets his first spam, and the spammer will be on his whitelist.
If Joe Sixpack makes the mistake of accepting it, he can later simply remove it from his whitelist when he notices. A well-designed UI will make it so that he doesn't even realize he has this "whitelist".

If your main power supply gave you -48vdc, you can get away with smaller wires but you'll need dc/dc transformers to bring the voltage down.
The 48V ATX power supplies are kind of pricy, but yes, this is how it's done.
It's not only that the oil barons are their most athletic supporters ...
I don't think this means what you think it means.

2: Show me this hasnt happened before.
3: Tell me the "scientists" studying arent also getting grants from... greenpeace or ELF..
4: WHY exactly is global warming bad? Wont it give more landmass (eg, melts permafrost siberia) and lessen the "nice tropical -120F on antartica?
5: WHY is the water level in my kitchen up to my neck.... blub... blub...?
[Hint: Less ice == more water.]
