Is it possible to 'kill' something without putting it into the kill-ring?

Not sure, but I think this may be a feature added in emacs 22. I seem to
remember something about this from the emacs 22 NEWS file.

It is possible. This is called deleting. You may be familiar with
delete-char (C-d) and delete-backward-char (DEL). You can delete the
region with M-x delete-region RET.
