I generally set my theme to "Classic" to avoid that "feature."

What's really worse is the screen reading ability of Linux and Unix-like systems. If you just nee to use the keyboard for stuff, you may be able to.

No, that was my brain going on autopilot. Sometimes, for words I don't use often or when my fingers get ahead of my brain, I end up substituting homophones... which are a bitch, btw, if you're only using speech.

As for my braille display, I'm using the Focus 40 Blue, mainly because it was cheap (for the government agency who bought it for me), and it's made by the same company that produces my screen reader. It's currently in my office, where I do most of my programming work. Never heard of the show you referenced, sadly.

In Windows, it's windows key-m or windows key-d.

Again, unfortunately the only GUI environments that are accessible in Linux are Gnome and LXDE, and maybe parts of XFCE (I'm not that brave though).

If you're in classic view (i.e. no unity), press control-alt-d to get to the desktop. Navigate to the drive icon, then press the "Applications Key" (usually to the right of the right alt key), then down arrow to "eject drive" or "safely eject drive."

control-f2, at least when running VoiceOver. Not sure how to do it if you have working eyeballs and no need for a screen reader.

Yes, it is completely possible to do so. There are even built-in shortcuts to do just about everything (desktop, start menu, application navigation mechanisms, ETC)... and that's not even getting into all the stuff a screen reader gives you, like the ability to inspect the screen with a "flat review cursor." Then there are all sorts of fun things like "spell word", ETC.

It's also possible to use a computer soully with a refreshable braille display device, though it gets aggrivating, and there's no way in hell I'd do it for a week.

On the Linux side of things, the accessibility is far worse than in Windows, but Gnome provides a lot of the same types of keyboard navigation mechanisms as Windows (Orca doesn't work on KDE, sadly).

... Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 Microsoft Office Standard Edition 2003 Microsoft Office Standard Edition 2003

Microsoft Office home and student 2007 and standard 2003 seem very important to me, as does Nortan Ghost. Hopefully the program lets you select which programs you want to remove.

I've found that many times the best songs on the album aren't the radio singles. Of course, there are many albums where the only good songs end up on the radio.

That brings me to another point. Whenever there's a song that's even remotely decent/catchy/ETC on the radio, they play it over and over again until you never want to hear it. Thus, commercial radio rapes good music by repeatedly shoving it down your throat.

Does Re-Captcha have audio facilities for blind or visually/reading impaired people? I ask this as a blind person who generally hates captchas, especially ones where the audio version makes you install QuickTime (ugh!).
