It's a screensaver. It's not a lock-out mode.
Hopefully, though, the new switch-user thingie in Panther will be what you're all thinking the screensaver is.
we need to consider when you are too OLD to drive...not by just age...but, probably testing at a certain age.
In Denmark, and quite possibly other countries, there is an automatic expiry on your drivers license. My license will run out in 2051, on the day I turn 70.
After that, I will annually have to take a test that looks for dementia, reactionspeeds, and hearing/eyesight. You can be required to take these tests earlier, at your doctors discretion. He can also recommend that your license is taken away, for instance if your eyesight is degrading rapidly.
Not that this is foolproof either. My grandfather's smaller brother, aged 90 now, went for at least 5 years after he should have failed the tests. For some reason, his doctor kept approving him for a renewed license. Good thing he lives on the Faroe Islands, in a rather small community where everybody knows his car (an old Yugo).
They just jumped in the ditches when they saw him coming.
The goldfish in the blenders was by Marco Evaristti. The piece is about taking control over the life of another person, such as we do now with abortions, death penalty, respirators, etc. At the opening, two fish were blended, but soon after, animal rights activists complained and the remaining live fish were removed before any of the viewers got to press the buttons.
He's doing a lot of other stuff with equally offensive appearance, yet an underlying statement that usually flies right over the head of people, like handing out heroin to addicts as a statement.

I am from Denmark as well.
Christian Lemmerz is the guy who did the dead pigs. I forgot what the other guy was called.
Anyway, calling somebody a moron simply because you do not believe something to be art is a pretty cheap ad hominem. It's art because some people think it is. And he's not the only one to think of it as art, I reckon it's art as well.
The piece in question (with the dead pigs), called 'Scene', was about decay and the temporarity of life. Sure, the pigs are not art, but neither is a canvas and a bucket of paint. I personally find pieces like these very interesting. I really liked his Todesfigur and Gebeine.
But I digress, my point is, you can always find someone who don't think that a particular piece is art, so you can't write something off as not-art just because you think it's disgusting/irrelevant/stupid/insert term here.
Check out Dadaism, found art, and other kinds of offstream ways of expression.
Technicalities aside (it's not very hard to do it at all, all it takes is a bit of perl tomfoolery - trust me;), I believe it's illegal, since the art is copyrighted, and it's not fair use, since you're in essence redistributing it.
Ah. So preloading your own OS on your own hardware is a monopolistic practice. Think about that one for a second. (Apple, Tivo, Rio, Nokia, Ericsson, Nintendo, Sony, Palm, Amiga - all huge oppressive monopolies).
My first thought on this was, how the hell would you use it as a Gameboy without the right butons.
But actually, I think it's possible to make it work. The "wheel" has no moving parts, so I suppose you could have it work as 4/8/16 "buttons" by dividing it into zones, giving you a joystick.

As the grandparent mentioned, it's a "vibration."
See this e2node and the ones below it for a thorough debunking of the theory.

No, that makes it all the more funny! You see, Commodore were as much a monopoly as Apple are now. Who said hypocricy? Oh, right, he did.

How so? You still need to actually buy the iPod from Apple...
