Are you aware that the Xbox One is thought to have grave manufacturing problems and that it will be available in only 21 countries at launch, missing all Asia?

Same as Chernobyl: Nuclear Hysteria -> early screening -> increase in detected cases. I don't think that the Ukrainian Health System is that good, however, according to the WHO, the recovery rate from thyroid cancer "caused" by the Chernobyl disaster is far higher than usual. That means one only thing: early screening.

Because those other solutions are not as cost effective, safe from hacking and practical.

No, Sony confirmed that "PS4 games will be playable without an Internet connection". That pretty much nails it: this used game policy can only be enforced with an online DRM. That's why the Xbox One FAQ states:

Q: Does Xbox One require an “always on” Internet connection?
A: No, it does not have to be always connected, but Xbox One does require a connection to the Internet. We’re designing Xbox One to be your all-in-one entertainment system that is connected to the cloud and always ready. We are also designing it so you can play games and watch Blu-ray movies and live TV if you lose your connection.

The classification of the African languages: literally thousands of dialects that Greenberg reliably classified through the means of mass comparison. His good work with the African languages is acknowledged even by his detractors and it is generally accepted in whole or in part.

And yet we have: patèr -> pappas (ancient Greek), pater -> papa (Latin), padre -> papà (Italian), père -> papa (French), but father -> dad (English). In German there are Vater and Papa, but Papa is a French loanword attested since the 15th century. In Latin we have also tata for dad, but after all "pater" is a p-t- sequence.

As far as I know Greenberg's mass-comparison method wasn't so mass, it was limited to a statistically meaningful set of words that he thought were pretty "steady", that is numbers, familial words, basic actions like "to be", "to have", "to do", "to go" etc.
Obviously it all depends on the sample, however it is not a method for crackpots, if used correctly. It proved useful a few times.

You should at least try to gather some information, shouldn't you?

Because "yes" and "no" are very recent words, they were not present in Latin or Ancient Greek for example. Usually they're shortcuts for expression like "so it is" or "it is not"; in Latin "sic" means "so", hence "sì" in Italian, Spanish and so on (even French). "Yes" and "yeah" are related to German "ja", take a look here: etymonline.

Third out of three is "having a leading system" now? At least original Xbox was second.

And so what? Those who wanted a theocracy during the Iranian revolution were a minority, still Iran became a theocracy. Same stuff for the Arabian Spring. Mussolini became prime minister with just 35 members of parliament on a total of 535. The Bolsheviks, despite their name, were a minority in the revolutionary forces. The sheer numbers do not matter, but being vocal matters, laissez-faire matters: religious and political extremism in Europe is on the rise.

So, to put it straight:
GPL "steals" code from BSD = your wife cheats on you and you feel ashamed because you know it and there's little you can do about it.
Close source "steals" code from BSD = your wife cheats on you and everybody knows and laughs at you, but you don't know so you're happy.

For some reason BSD zealots prefer the latter situation and don't know why everybody laughs at them.

They actually are: JavascriptCore and WebCore are both under the LGPL and KHTML derived.

Sources recount a different story. It received a design approval for 330-min ETOPS, apparently it got no more.

It was designed for a ETOPS 330.
