Care to share your results and/or notes? I recently started messing with VLC's stream output capabilities and would love to see some interesting examples of what is possible.
Around 2008 the Secretary of the Air Force and Chief of Staff were fired due to a massive screw-up regarding the transport and handling of our nukes [1].
The summary that I got from the situation was that a plane heading through the heartland of America accidentally transported a nuke, when instead they thought it was just some other type of bomb which basically means a nuke was accidentally transported across the US without anyone controlling the shipment or noticing until much later.
The current chatter and inclinations are that things have improved due to more rigorous checks and inspections. For me this is very believable due to the amount of news that is made when one of the nuke squadrons fail a regular inspection due to minor mistakes [2].

I believe the 2008 actions were fallout from the 2007 Bent Spear involving six nuclear cruise missiles on a B52 (not a single bomb), described in the Wikipedia article cited upthread [1].
While the L-shaped Enter key isn't standard on most stock keyboards sold in the U.S., you can still find large amounts of new ones online. You can normally find them under the ISO or U.K. style descriptors.
I'm guessing that he's being a bit sarcastic since this would be an extremely hodgepodged setup, but I have thought about doing something like this for a home server/personal computer setup.
My thoughts where to have something like a rackmounted server machine in my basement with multiple storage drives, oodles of RAM, CPU, and a video card with it all running under an ESX (or whatever) install. Over the hypervisor I could then have running a headless NAS OS (e.g. UnRAID or FreeNAS) for my backups/media/etc and then a full-blown gaming PC running Windows with the GPU being virtually attached to it. Then (oh there's more) I could run all of my keyboard, video, mouse, and USB cables for the virtual gaming PC up through my house to where my desk is located. I figure that with this setup I could consolidate a several physical computers (gaming pc, NAS, etc) into one workhorse computer which would save space and possibly some electricity.
Sarcastic - no - for a few tech savvy friends of mine the only thing that really keeps them on non virtualized windows is gaming. So any solution that offers them that - from high performance vm driver to vga passtrough is ok.
What the hell is going on this weekend with HN? I was okay with the random and slightly out of date ReactOS and TempleOS stories because of their quirkiness, but then the fake rape story and this old post are really making frown. The only thing that's worse is that I'm going to see this all again on Reddit in a few minutes. maybe I should do some work.
Going off of a few other comments in this thread I would hope it stood for Must Consult w/ Me or Microsoft Consults w/ Me. I've heard that Microsoft's tests are some of the hardest in the biz compared to other associated certs at the same level.
Considering that their current methods of creating custom keycaps consists of either laser engraving or etching, and not actually molding plastic, I would not expect this to happen (ever).
You can get backlight keys in different colors through sellers that offer Ducky Keyboard brand backlight keys. You can find those in all sorts of colors and ISO/US formats, but nothing more than that unless you join some type of group buy through Geekhack.org or Deskthority.net where you can find all sorts of 'one-off' sets custom keycaps.
I would say it is was a fairly interesting interview that covered the future developments for Wireshark.
