Ctrl is the Control key.
Alt is the Alt key.
Del is the delete key. (For Mac users who don't have a backspace key, it's the one under the help key, or below the F13-15 keys).
Control Alt Delete was created by Microsoft to make sure that you weren't sending your user name and password to a website. It was also created to fix crashed applications and force-reboot your computer. They had to do this, probably, because nothing worked.
Ctrl-Alt-Del can never be used by a website to enter your password, exactly Microsoft's point. If you send your password to another website, they can eventually hack into your computer and delete/add/make virus files. Not good.
Fortunately for Mac users, Ctrl-Alt-Delete is not required, mainly because 1. There are two Delete keys, and 2. There is no alt key. (Actually, there is an alt key, but it is in the option key too, so technically it is not the Alt key.) Also, the Macintosh is almost imposible to hack thanks to its Unix structure and secure operating system

Get the ctms mug.CTxHC or C.T.H.C. is a shortened way to say Connecticut Hardcore. The term Connecticut Hardcore is used to define punk and hardcore punk bands out of the state of Connecticut. The term originated in the mid-80's when No Milk On Tuesday put out their first self titled 7" which featured a goat on the cover with CTXHC written on him.
Around this time, a compilation of Connecticut hardcore music came out on Incas Records called Connecticut Fun. The compilation featured bands such as the Vatican Commandos, 76%Uncertain, and Youth of Today.
On the front cover is a punk spray painting CTXHC on a wall, but continually walking and spray painting a police officer.
The scene's existence continues on today with bands such as Sadplant, Revolutionary SMUT, The Surrogates, Loud Youth, and Stomped On Sight! (just to name a few. there are others of course.) A compilation was put out in Summer of 2009 featuring many recent day local bands, entitled the CT Sucks Compilation.
