  1. Mmmmmm achievements on Microsoft Asks Fed For Bailout · · Score: 1
    This story looks sufficiently april-foolsy...

    To get the "April Fool" achievement. But is that a good achievement? But achievement points are numbers... and this will increase my overall number... so that's good, right? Even though it sounds a bit dumb to be forever marked as an "april fool"...

    Hang on, Microsoft are getting a bailout? That's crazy, why do I pay my taxes if the crypto-fascists are just going to give them all to Bill Gates and that lady who isn't cool enough to be a mac person? This is an outrage!

    I just had a humorous moment. I read this wikipedia article, which states that launchd uses "plist" configuration files. The article for this file format then further clarifies that they can be XML or binary. I then found myself wishing there was some way I could find out whether the plist files which are used by launchd specifically are in XML or binary format. Sadly it took some time to dawn on me that I am currently using a Mac, and could just look at the files. Long story short, launchd uses text (XML) based config files.
