So why do they not fix it???? (CTR/ALT/DEL)

It's weird he qualify it as a mistake.
It has become one of the ultimate archetype of Windows.
Some people say that it is safer than a single key-click. (I kind'a agree with that).
I'd rather be phishing!

I imagine some within Microsoft would disagree.
It's secure. It's one of the few combinations other apps cannot catch, even with a keylogger. It's something that programmers can't block using a normal application. It is the ultimate way of closing a CPU-hogger on a single-CPU machine.

The thing is that crtl+alt+del is not a windows thing but a ibm/pc one. Bios intercepts that combination to operate a reset. Windows just made it famous by giving the tip to end-users on the famous blue-screen.

I don't think it's a mistake.
The Windows key is annoying enough during NFS just sitting there waiting for you to press it instead of the nitro.
Imagine your PC locked during that.

Did you refuse to do someone's homework for them?

Not much that can be done. At least they get no points for downvoting.

So bookmarking something is now a downvote?

It's a stealth downvote, playing the long game.
They book mark a load of posts, ou get five points each time.
Then many months down the line they un bookmark them all and you lose the five points.
Your balance is no gain or loss, but you feel pissed off looking at all the negatives in your reputation history.
Or that may all be bollocks.

In a perverted kind of way that does make sense.

Yeah, that is what trolls do with delight. Pissing other people off.
But hey, so what? It's just points that don't really count for anything.
Cheers!

Did similar thing happen earlier? I mean this requires lot of patience to wait for months just to piss few users.
.AK.

No. It's no big deal. I bookmark stuff all the time because it looks interesting. Eventually I'll go back and take a look and sometimes realize it's not for me so I un-bookmark it. Don't think there is anything sinister going on here - the net effect is as if it never happened.

I agree (consummate "me too" post). Personally I think the system is working the way it should.

Yet another fail by Ivy Tech's filter system. The system blocked Google, Bing, and Yahoo for a while until the Administration asked the IT Team to remove those blocks (after some arguments with the company that created the filter).
