First, I must note that I do not disagree with you in the slightest. Second, I must warn you that I cannot resist the urge to be cute. And so..
Alright, you rogue. I'll play your game.

Because the fashion police get to define what's attractive, and they keep changing the definition.
Who watches the watchers?
And adding my own:
I may not have anything to hide today. Tomorrow, however, things may change (when they plead for me to cover up my lumpy, pock-marked body, as I am beginning to negatively affect the local tourism and the childrens' nightmares have gotten too horrible to describe).
It is entirely short-sighted. Cold days, for instance, have their merits as well. Any unattractive shrinkage due to cold will excuse the person from naked party time until the temperature is warm enough to return attractively. Naked party time will also be mandatory if lower temperatures enhance any features deemed attractive.
Oh, oh boy. Oh boy. Oh, jeez. Look at that. Look what I've done. I would be worried for my karma, if I had any worth worrying about.
When you shake someone's hand, you're shaking the hands of everyone that person has shaken hands with.
Department heads. District Managers. Hell, I bet there's even a VP of Sales in there, given how chummy your last supervisor turned out to be. Can you vouch for each of them as well?
You see, Microsoft has been pushing its anti-keyboard agenda since as far back as Windows 3.0 (if not earlier). It is well-documented. Yet, where are the calls for a more balanced view on input? Where are the calls for justice?
Your silence only serves their cause! Your silence is their voice! Your silence is consent!

all mice and rats experiments had to be properly documented... last night the air conditioner broke down and all their mice and rats died
You don't know cruelty until you've pulled an all-nighter in a labratory whose A/C just went kaput, surrounded by hundreds of rapidly decomposing rats and mice, doing paperwork.
Should make it possible to play a game on one monitor while playing a movie on another, for example
Amen, brotha. It's about freaking time!
If I had a dollar for every time I have been lurking through some part of town in Thief3 -- creeping through the shadows, pickpocketing the locals, trimming Hammerites' nosehairs with broadheads at 100 yards, jumping out of my skin at even the most barely audible footstep, the usual -- and thought to myself, "Hey, I am like totally in the mood for some Top Gun. I've lost that lovin' feelin, I tells ya. Goodness gracious, Maverick's great fiery balls demand my attention! But, fie! Cruel fates -- damn them all -- I cannot! Not, at least, without terminally disrupting my immersive computer game environment! Woe is me!"
Well consider Jester as good as dead, and tell my fence that I'll be needing those water arrows a little early today.
Now I'll be able to blackjack scores of nosy estate guards while re-engaging after a jetwash-induced flat spin caused me to temporarily abandon my wingman -- all without skipping a beat (or switching to guns -- only pansies would say they're too close for missles, Goose).
how would you like it if someone taped most of your workday?
Many employers have cameras in the office/factory/store that monitor employees during the workday. Why should We, the People (being their employers) treat the police any differently?
Son, we live in a world that has lines of code and those lines of code need to be written by nerds with vi. Who's gonna do it? You? You, CowboyNeal?
I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for MythTV and curse Zap2It; you have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that MythTV's current system, while tragic, probably saved time and that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves time.
You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties you want me working on that bug, you need me working on that bug!
We use words like object, code, binary. We use then as the backbone of a life trying to develop something. You use them as a punchline! I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very software I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it.
I would rather you just said "thank you," and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest that you start up an editor and send a patch.
Either way, I don't give a damn what you think is inefficient!
PS : no hard feelings - I just wanted to [ab]use the quote!

But with bad news, it would help convey a sense of understanding or empathy. For example:
Mr. Johnson,
Your employment here at MegaCorp is terminated, effective immediately 8=========ID
Director,

Ha, that's what she said...
The only winning move is not to play.
What part of 'It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.' do you not understand?
Confuscius says: "He who omits if-then-else statement has no choice."
Let him off the hook for what?
Sorry, having trouble concentrating all of a sudden. One of those days, I guess...

Get tested.
You keep saying that word, "rightclick". I honestly have no clue what you are talking about.

Thank you, DX10. You can be my wingman anytime.

I would say that the University of Bologna is uniquely qualified in this case.
Looking at the research done by their premiere scholars (Meyer, Oscar, et. al.), they have unequivocably dominated the field in question.
Many employers have cameras in the office/factory/store that monitor employees during the workday. Why should We, the People (being their employers) treat the police any differently?

Yes, yes. I agree completely.
