I'm using IVideoWindow to play a video, but I want the video to stop playing as soon as any key is pressed on the keyboard. I read somewhere that you need to use put_MessageDrain() to do this, but I can't get it to recognise my other window to take messages (the other window has been registered but...

What gets me is that it was posted *twice*. Same text.
There's gotta be a strange behavioural study somewhere showing how net users are so used to search boxes being on the homepage that many automatically consider *any* text box on a homepage as a search box.

Its encouraging to see so few people cycling,
When the poll was first presented, I was worried that there would be more.

That's a little suprising, too. I figured at least *one* person who works in New York Ciy lives in Staten Island and works in Manhattan and takes the ferry.

I wonder how closely this poll is tied to demographics. My guess is that those of us in the States are far more likely to have picked "Car" as at least one of our choices than most others.
That's true for me, I am in the US, and commute by car probably 4 out of 5 times a week. The other day I bike, walk, or work from home.

It would be interesting to know, purely because the impression we get in the UK is that the public transport system in the US is much better than in the UK, so as a percentage you may find more people in the UK travelling by car.
But why if you can walk to work do you ever use a car anyway ?

I agree - in general - but some factors that might cause me to drive as opposed to walk include, but are not limited, to the following:
Rain
Snow
Ice
Mud
Lack of time

That all depends on where you live in the US. Public transport in most big US cities (LA, Chicago, NYC, etc...) is very good from what I understand. However, that's not always the case: in Atlanta, where I live, public transportation is an appalling joke. The 'subway' here - MARTA - isn't too usefull unless you live within walking distance from one of very, very few terminals, or if you are travelling to the airport. The bus system is Ok, I guess, but busses in general seem to be much more of a hassle than driving if you have your own car, IMO.
I was under the impression that the UK, and Europe in general, had excellent public transportation systems... At least, I think that's the impression most Americans have. In fact, most American's see Europe as a much friendlier, more leisurely place than America. I think that's true in some cases (eg workweek hours, vacation time, etc...). In fact, I'm under the impression that most Europeans think we're nuts for working 45+ hours a week with two weeks of vacation per year. To tell you the truth, I think they're right - there's alot the US could learn by looking at Europe in that respect.
But perhaps the grass is always a little greener on the other side of the Atlantic :P

The buses here (Munich) can use the area set aside for trams, which results in much amusement for me in the evening when I sit on the bus and wave to the car drivers in the traffic jams 
> In fact, I'm under the impression that most Europeans think we're nuts for working 45+ hours a week with two weeks of vacation per year
Nah. We just think you're nuts 
But yes, I have 30 days annual holiday plus up to about 15 days public holidays per year (depends on what day they fall on). And a 35 hour week. In fact I don't know why they need me to come in here on the odd day at all, really

My bus journeys cost me £5.40 a day. This is for one return journey of eight miles and one single journey of 2 miles.

The equivalent of (about) 1.20GBP per day, but that is for a "go anywhere, whenever you like" type ticket so actually it is a lot less. I can go practically anywhere I am likely to go within town for 40EUR/month.
