• Sometimes a CD will say it's 45seconds away from the end of the track, and then suddenly the track is over, unexpectedly. As a DJ, this results in dead air.

But as my co-DJ John Clements pointed out, the real blame rests with the people who developed the CD encoding format: it shouldn't even be possible to encode a CD with such incorrect information!
• Netscape -- the unix platform begs for a "clear" button: all the time i'm cutting/pasting URLs, and i have to paste from the other window, then go click in the url box, transfer to the keyboard to ctrl-K(ill) the old url, then back to the mouse to click the paste button. A button "clear URL" would solve the problem easily!
