In addition to being a faq on this list, it's also one of the worst
possible mistakes you can make, in terms of usability.   Users love their
back buttons, and will react unfavorably to any attempt to disable it.  The
solution, of course, is to accomodate it.
Pissing off your users does nothing to improve your product.
It just makes you look lazy...
