Apple still hasn't really figured out how to handle a mouse with more than one button despite having it thrust upon them by moving to a BSD foundation. Excuse me, wtf? Nice way to begin posting by telling that "I'm the user who seriously doesn't know what I'm talking about" =D
OSX does do some pretty non-standard things itself. For example, try inserting a CD or other removeable media into your mac and then copying the file to your computer.... Then they toss the CD because the data is on their machine now. If you do that in OSX and you'll find the link you just made now leads nowhere because OSX *didn't* copy the bloody file, it only linked to it. Unfortenately for you, your post is completely inaccurate, OSX actually copies all the files you dragged on your disk. Try it, see that little green ball with + in it? That means it's going to copy something, not move or create aliases.
I use OSX No you don't.

Note that "Perl-compatible regular expression" isn't really completely Perl-compatible, but they might support some features that posix regexes don't and Perl does..
The point being that it's completely wrong to say "you can use Perl's regular expressions in PHP"..
Problem with gif files is that you can't have real alpha, only one color indexed to full transparency. There's only a few areas on my site that are fully opaque so most elements are influenced by background color. That's the reason I really would be glad not to use gif format. Google isn't really the answer for everything. =D
PNG support. That can be real funny sometimes. I created (unintentionally though) a page that is displayed fine with Firefox, Safari, Opera, Mac IE. The fun thing is that it's completely blank with Windows IE 6.0. (A bit of transparency everywhere on the page did that..)
So now I'm either have to think that no IE user will use the site (yeah, you know it - not an option). Or just duplicate that page as many times as required and "render" it with different background-colors. So it takes n-times the bandwidth.
(Yeah, I've tried pngbehavior. It not only crashed some older IE, but doesn't work at all with css backgrounds and stuff).
Only 2 solutions to this problem: 1. Create a worm to install Firefox with IE-theme. 2. Create ActiveX-object to render pages with Firefox.. And a worm to install that on IE.
I really don't think exploiting is never good. It's just the matter of how problems are being addressed.
In *nix world security threats are taken very seriously, even if there's only a remote possibility of someone figuring out how to exploit them. After this bug is found it's just matter of hours when the patch is released and an announcement of the threat is just matter of minutes.
For comparison in Windows world there hasn't been very good response to bugs. Too often a bug is exploited widely because exploit is already made and there's not a fix for the issue yet (and no way of creating one yourself). Also too often announcement of security threat (even without the patch) doesn't reach users quickly enough to do any good.
One of the many reasons this one is THE reason for me to stick to OPEN source - we share our information OPENLY.
1. Get hit by software patents. 2. Consider lobbying against software pantents. 3. Discard the idea. 4. Hire more lawyers. 5. Patent everything and sue everyone.
(Donate money to smaller companies to do this part for you) 6. Profit!
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my underground lair. I have gathered here before me the world's deadliest hax0rs, and yet, each of you has failed to hack Linux! That makes me angry and when Dr. Bill gets angry, Mr. Bugglesworth gets upset and when Mr. Bugglesworth gets upset, innocent penguins die!

Yeah and it would be especially ironic if terrorists had the opportunity to tune the system and have ALL planes fly straight to new "no-fly zones".

Yeah right. Here's an idea:

OpenOffice Impress will open that document just fine.
