If you're using a command-line and 'rm' stuff though, that's entirely your fault for using such a low-level power-user interface for file management.
No, it's not. 'rm' is by no means a "low-level power-user interface." That doesn't even make sense. While it is arguably for "power-users," it is not anyone's fault for using this high-level userspace tool for file management. The perception that it is low-level annoys me.
That's a great idea. While you're at it, make browsers W3C compliant too.

How is that an issue...?
And I suppose Bob's dynamic pages mark themselves up, which is why he doesn't do "both" like Jerry.
Who maintains the list of titles known to be unavailable for free?
Also, as stated by other posters, titles are insufficient for determining content.
"It has been fascinating to watch this phenomenon grow from a little message I tossed off in ten minutes to something that has spread all around the world," said Fahlman [the creator of the smiley].
More than once, Alexis Feldman, the director of the Feldman Realty Group, a commercial real estate company in Manhattan, has been moving forward on a major deal when, she said, "at the 23rd hour, I get an e-mail from the broker saying, 'Sorry, my client is not interested in the space, too bad we couldn't make the big bucks' — then there's a frown face!"
