i love the idea of putting an old door on milk crates (or old file cabinets), but where does one find an old door? Without an old (flat) door, nobody's saving any money. is there a hidden wellspring of old, flat doors?
nobody uses it for anything, and it's a very high level interrupt. I also use it to check whether the computer is frozen or just busy, since it should toggle the LED no matter what, unless it's dead.

you're kidding, right? "some restrictions should be enforced since they hold much power, some would say too much."
the power they control is of their own creation. If they didn't have this terrible, evil power, we wouldn't have google. Google is a, by and large, a well-run, ethical company. Their attitude toward advertising is extremely mature (compared to msn.com, et al). And if it becomes otherwise (ie, they begin abusing their service), word will get out and they'll die.
Don't spew the regulatory party line about "too much" power when you (and millions others) depend on the valuable service that is the direct cause of that power. The decisions of millions of people about what search engine to use is regulation enough. if Google "abuses" the power they have, they'll cease to have it.
