New question:
Where is this? What is the buildings name? What function does it have now? What is it's address? What is it popularly known as?

New question then, hopefully this is a bit harder:
Who is this, and what is he doing on this stage?

Well, that's Don Rickles
The still is from the Dean Martin show.
Specifically - it's from Don Rickle's Roast of Ronald Reagan, aired september 13 1973
Edit: I don't know why, I first thought it was Bob Hope

The first part is easy enough - but it's bloody difficult working out what the setting/interview is.

Eitt sindur different spurningur, mest tí tað loysti ein trúpukeila eg hevði, men ikki fingi nakra góða forklaring:
Hvat hendur um tú heldur niður báðar shift-keys í Windows (7)?

From wikipedia:
On some keyboards, if both shift keys are held down simultaneously only some letters can be typed. For example, on the Dell keyboard Model RT7D20 only 16 letters can be typed. This phenomenon is known as "masking" and is a fundamental limitation of the way the keyboard electronics are designed.

I think what happened to you is that one of your keys got stuck. I've seen this happen quite a few times, most typically with one of the ctrl, alt, shift keys, and pressing these keys keys several times will unstick whichever key was stuck. If one of them is stuck, Windows will seemingly act weird, because the mouse and arrow keys (and others) behavior is modulated depending on which of these keys are pressed, i.e. their behavior is different. Try selecting some icons on the desktop with one of these keys pressed, right-click, etc. The behavior is different, and also takes longer time, since additional code is loaded and run.
People report this is a windows bug, since it doesn't seem to appear on other platforms, and changing hardware makes no difference, but no definite confirmation.
