Nobody has mentioned the MEDIA element of a LINK tag 

If you have two links to style sheets thus:

<LINK REL="stylesheet" TYPE="text/css" HREF="style.css" MEDIA="SCREEN">
<LINK REL="stylesheet" TYPE="text/css" HREF="style_print.css"
MEDIA="PRINT"> 

by simply styling the text as very small, same colour as the background
and invisible in the MEDIA="PRINT" style sheet will flummox most
people.  Won't of course stop ctrl-c

Certainly works in MSIE 4 +
