No. Britney Spears and etc. will be just as available in Japan as always—for purchase in retail stores. There is absolutely no shortage of foreign culture in Japan, and given the relatively small net-savvy population I'd say this would have little-to-no isolationist effect.
The settings for default browser, mail app, and perhaps chat app were all found in a prefpane prior to 10.3(?). Personally I agree that the settings should at least also be available in a prefpane, but word on the street is that when they surveyed users, about half of people wanted them in a prefpane, and the other half thought they should be in the apps themselves.
I recommend RCDefaultApp if you want a prefpane with similar (and more!) functionality.
* Restore the ability to have folders remember their views.
You can still make them remember views by clicking the checkbox in the View Options (Command-J) window. I agree that this is annoying.
* Run each Finder window in a separate process, so it doesn't lock everything up when one window gets busy. Particularly when hitting network shares.
You mean break the entire application model that Mac OS has used since forever, which is that each window is not its own process? How about just making the Finder more multithreaded, which they've been doing fairly well. I haven't had the Finder in Leopard hang on me relating to network shares.
* Move the "FTP" support from Finder to Safari, so we don't have the overhead and security issues of file-system-like operations when accessing remote high-latency servers.
You could just not use FTP in the Finder. There are plenty of good, free FTP clients out there, like Cyberduck.
* Bring back the Shelf from NeXTSTeP.
What? Have you ever actually used the Shelf from NeXTSTEP? I haven't, but I've never heard anyone who had anything good to say about it. I think we've moved well beyond the need for such a feature, what with Expose and all. What specific problem would you like the Shelf to solve?
* Add "Cut" as well as "Copy". There's a "Cut" option in the edit menu but it's always greyed out. If there's some obscure option key that will enable this, well...
You can't Cut files or folders because what you're expecting to happen (based probably on similar functionality in Windows or other systems) is fundamentally different from what Cut actually is. Cut (for text, the original and default context for this feature) erases the selection entirely and puts a copy in the pasteboard. The copy in the pasteboard is lost as soon as you copy or cut something else. "Cut for text" is also undoable. "Cut for files," on the other hand, does not erase the selection until you paste. It does not delete the selection in the pasteboard if you copy something else. It is sometimes undoable, but is rarely guaranteed to be so. It's also not obvious what happens if you Cut, then modify the selection, and then paste (which version is pasted, the old or the new?)In other words, you don't want Cut; you want a copy of the Windows feature that is inappropriately named Cut. Well, it's not there, and probably shouldn't be (since it hasn't been implemented "correctly" in any system I've seen). I know, I know, who cares about nit-picky crap like this? Well, Steve cares.
I have to second this one. And if you grok Japanese the lyrics are just as catchy as the tunes. They're full of puns about rolling, sticking, growing, etc. There's one in English too: "Que Sera Sera" by Charlie Kosei.

...it is recommended not to use Filterset.G with Adblock Plus. There are several reasons for this:...
In short, the Filterset.G extension duplicates functionality already in the Adblock Plus extension, it's slow, and it's harder to use. The filter subscriptions supplied by Adblock Plus are the recommended alternative.
...if [the extra exertion required to charge this shirt] is less than or equal to [the energy needed to haul around those batteries the shirt will be replacing], then it's a net win. In fact, even if the shirt requires more exertion, it might still be worth it not to have to worry, "Do I have my batteries with me today?" "Are my batteries charged?"
Do you read slashdot at all? We have this exact same question asked many times every single time an article about flash memory is posted. No, it's not a problem for the average user thanks to wear leveling. End of story.
This one is starting to bug me almost as much as "loose" vs. "lose". From Wikipedia:
Hear hear is an expression that originated as hear ye, or hear him, usually repeated. This imperative was used to call attention to a speaker's words, and naturally developed the sense of a broad expression of favour.
The easy way to use.app-bundled apps from the CLI is with Apple's open utility. Your Preview.app example would be:
open -a Preview [list of files]
If you don't specify an app via -a, the files' default "Open with" app will be used./Applications doesn't need to be in your $PATH, and I believe it will intelligently find apps placed anywhere you have read access to in the filesystem.
How can you get this boolean setup working in Mail.app? As far as I can see it only lets me choose that "all" (A && B && C) or "any" (A || B || C) of the rules apply, neither of which result in the filter you're suggesting.
Why should an iPod ad tell you about how purchases from the iTMS are restricted? iPod != iTunes, and no one is forcing you to listen to DRM-encumbered music on your iPod.
NeoOffice doesn't require X11, works with OS X's native fonts and printing system, supports all OS X's text input methods (Japanese, Chinese, etc.), and is much more attractive and snappy as of 2.0a.
I used "Romaji" because that's the accepted spelling, whether it's consistent or not. I've been studying Japanese for over 9 years, and while Romaji is certainly a mess of tangled, inconsistent standards, use of diacritical marks is almost nonexistent, no matter what the "new Hepburn" might define. And thanks, jerk, for being the nitpicking asshole who points out standards that no one actually follows.

The preferred OpenOffice.org implementation on OS X is NeoOffice, which doesn't require X11 and has many benefits over vanilla OO.o.
While they don't go straight to people's apartments, there have been vertical, elevator-style parking garages in Japan for years. (example)

Does capatalism "diallow" a spellchecker?
Then why are people bending over backwards to make apps for it?
If OpenMoko's so great, how come we're not hearing about all the great apps supposedly being made for it?

Safari is not a "third standard". First, it's based off of KHTML, and second, it adheres to the W3C standards, just like good browsers should.
Unintentional quirks aside, there are only two standards: The W3C's, and Microsoft's de-facto one. So where's this "third standard"?
