The idea of holding fast food companies liable for making people fat was first introduced as a reductio ad absurdum. "If we held tobacco companies liable for giving people cancer, we would have to hold fast food companies liable for making people fat! Ridiculous!" But irony is cruel, and now it does not seem far fetched at all that the government would regulate fast food companies in the foreseeable future.
* The keyboard commands are completely non-standard and a mess. At the whim of the application designer (and if it's running in a terminal window), copy might be CTRL+C, APPLE+C, OPTION+C? As someone elsewhere here pointed out, this can be remapped, I'll try it when I'm home. But I still wonder why the defaults aren't sane in the first place.
OS X applications all use cmd-c to copy (and so do Classic MacOS applications). It's not even a developer choice in most cases; it's the default behavior. OS X has the most standard interface. Complaining that programs like vim and emacs use different keyboard commands is hardly an OS complaint. Also, because the *nix commands are different from Apple commands, you can do things like use many of the emacs keybindings in any Cocoa program. You can actually kill and yank text if you want to.
I agree to a point with some of your other criticisms of OS X, but standard keyboard commands is where it has an advantage over Linux and Windows.
They do it because property lists easily deserialize to instances of Cocoa objects like NSArray, NSDictionary, NSCalendarDate, etc. It makes things a lot easier for programmers.
I might agree that NetInfo is a lot more obfuscated than a flat password file, but saying that this is less "clean" than files without a uniform syntax doesn't make sense. How would this make me want to reformat?
If you look at child porn for titillation and don't report it, it's pretty hard to argue that you aren't condoning an illegal and immoral act. This is more like a person knowing that a soldier got injured in a war, but not telling the military because he gets his rocks off on seeing people die.
It runs in 480p, but not 1080i. The Xbox just doesn't have the horsepower for it. The graphics really are as good as the screenshots, though at the cost of occasional pop-up.

No, but it's about intelligible as fhqwhgads.

The second doesn't tell you whether the elements are strings or numbers.

Sure, you're editing a text file, but it could be a lot worse than this.
Joanna Dark?
And Requiem for a Dream . True, only two movies, but I certainly look forward to seeing his next.
In most states, or at least in mine, that would be manslaughter, not murder.
He has the marginal value of 500 waitresses :-)
The Supreme Court recently ruled that simulated child porn is in fact legal.
That's a bizarre coincidence. Mach-O binaries all begin with the sequence "FEED FACE."
Reading this kind of nonsense makes me feel downright frumious.

Candy's dandy but bribes are quicker.

Thanks for pointing that out--I guess I really borked the site.
Yeah, that's a big risk like being near secondhand smoke or drinking tap water. Also you shouldn't stand too close the mircowave.
Don't be too worried. A tinfoil hat will surely block this radiation.
I can buy a deck of cards at my local drugstore for a buck, but that doesn't mean that it won't cost several thousand to send it into space.

The king can't approach the other king ever because that would place him in check. A king can never take a king.
Seriously though, I wonder. I suspect that it might be rather easy to solve, but I'm to lazy to find out.
