Re:Recycle Bins - don't you just hate them?

Verified that in my version as well, although the handy-dandy tooltips still say you can't have recycle bin and confirmations both disabled. It will even turn confirmations back ON when you turn recycle bin OFF. Just be persistent and turn the confirmations back OFF again. =)
And FYI, this preference combo also gets rid of all system / hidden / read-only / executable file warnings that pop up on large directory deletions.
So in theory, it appears Windows can be just as devastating to a (non-system) directory as UNIX.
Is there an over-riding force to prevent stalemate moves from continuing forever?
One case where .5 should always round up (or down)

One of the reasons that children (more accurately students) are taught that.5 should always round up is because of grading.
While it is mathematically correct to distribute the "round ups" and "round downs" to the nearest even integer, tests where 1/2 points are often given but not recorded certainly provide a reason to be consistent! Otherwise, you will end up with a score of:
12.5 and 13.5, which has a 1 point difference, becoming 12 and 14, which is a 2 point difference.
Sure, it may "cost" 60B a year, but this is in a market where consumers are accustomed to flaky products. A look at any Microsoft product's success reveals a patience for buggy code, and even a desire to purchase upgraded product versions. In many cases companies actually profit off of new and improved products. We actually sell more copies off the shelf because the previous versions have so many problems. So bug on!
Even with free shipping, make sure that the price you are getting online (*cough* www.pricewatch.com) is a lot cheaper than local stores. Local stores give you the benefit of returns and refunds without dealing with shipping costs and delays. A machine I recently built worked perfectly fine, but I realized half-way through that I wanted a motherboard without built in ethernet card. A decision like that will cost you weeks of time if you bought all your components online, but for me, it was a simple drive down the road. How much money is your time worth?
Accepting a counter offer lets your company know that you are content to stay in your current job, with additional pay. But you had to lay your job on the line to get it, and this immediately cast doubt on your honesty and loyalty to the company.
It seems reasonable to check out the job market to see what your skills are worth elsewhere. But use the information wisely, confront your managers and ask for a raise rather than present the threat of another job. The are good ways and bad ways to get a promotion or raise. It's fairly easy to see which category counter offers fall under.
Forget all the technological impossibilities that are involved here... where the heck are these watermarks going to be stored? Even with the smallest possible amount of data required for a copyrighted watermark... the ADC would have to compare against trillions of watermarks, upon which millions more are added every day.
So either my new $20.00 tape recorder will have terabytes of memory and a super computer, or a wireless network hookup to do this on a server.
And yet, despite the fact that such a thing can't possibly be implemented today, this may still pass?
The sheer entertainment value of it all.

I created dozens of these masterpiece tracks back when I was trying to find the correct soundcard jack for my microphone. Little did I know...
