DYI. You could start by finding simple online references (there are few languages that don't have a s**tload). Then:
1) Print them yourself. It would take very little time to compile your own command list with exactly what you want from online documentation. Lay it out using your favourite word processor, burn it to CD or write to floppy/USB key, take it to your local print house and get them to blow it up to a poster. You can even get them to laminate it. Done.
2) Do the same as above, but don't bother with print. Compile the references and post them on an internal webserver (or just stick them on your desktop). Cheaper, less time spent craning your neck to look at something on the wall.
By far and away the easiest, and most cost/time-effective:
3) Simply bookmark the online references. This also has the advantage of providing more than just syntax; you get full documentation, examples, etc.
Then spend your money on some whiteboard for your walls. Better, get some inspiring artwork.
After coming out of a 1 year WoW addiction, I can honestly say that I missed nothing from other game industry releases. 99.9% of it is pure crap anyway.
way to be sure of system integrity is to asume that the system is completely penetraded, and do a very expensive security checkup, to see how much damage that _could_ have occured.
Which, arguably, you should have done in the first place.
You're probably right about this being welcomed by the masses. Excuse me while I hijack this thread to appeal to anyone who might even consider this a worthy application of such technology:
Simple argument:

I learned those words years before the Xbox came out. Dammit, I learned them years before people started carrying around suitcase-sized cell phones!
Ask around. You can probably find a few people who learned to swear before the evil internet with it's foul mouthed masses even existed.
Swearing is, was, and always will be part of language. The trick is to teach your kids**** when it is appropriate/useful/damaging/self-degrading etc.
Even if you don't they will learn to use it, for better or for worse....and don't believe for a second that this Xbox scenario will be the extent of it's application.
a) the whole business world has ground to a halt since the introduction of technology b) businesses are becoming less effecient and so need to hire more and more people to do the same amount of work. Unemployment is now at an all-time low, down-sizing is non-existent. c) there are more and more "journalists" and pseudo social-scientists that are making up statistics and anecdotes they cull from all the email they are addicted to.
Please sit right back and enjoy a healthy serving of shut-the-fuck-up.
Okay, so basically society as we know it is going down the crapper (again). This time the over-achievers and obsessive-compulsives are slaves to email and txt messaging. Oh the horror.
I blame the terrorists and evil-doers. Damn those evil-doers!

Hello,
My name is Bill Gates. I might very well watch my huge multi-billion dollar empire fade into obscurity and impotence if,
a) The PC era is over
b) You believe the PC era is over
In light of these facts, I have an announcement:
"The PC era isn't over."
You can stop holding your breath now. Carry on!
PS I'm not saying he isn't right, but come on........

From reaching children? Is that the biggest problem here?

Besides the obvious graphic change, the caption should now read,
"Actually, you are HERE (sorry) --->."

They've re-invented hard links! The daring! The innovation!
I'm sorry, am I the only one who sees the words "never" and "no matter what" in a article about technology trends and just passes it by?
Will someone please tell such authors that to say "never" gives them away as having:
a) no sense of history, tech-related or otherwise
b) no imagination
c) no clue
d) all of the above
Yeah, we'll never need more than 640k either, right? Riiight.
Instead of having a "Probe" or a "Cirrus" or a "Murano" you can now drive around in a "Fart".
