Yes you can have it when I die, but you're not allowed to use any of it because it might be unhealthy for you. You wouldn't want to take any risks that aren't approved by the government of California, would you?
If this man is allowed to cheapen the price of an education in this way it could lead to disaster for the Educational Establishment. The government must step in and regulate this market before people get the idea that they're paying too much for a piece of paper with fancy calligraphy. Students must be forced to enslave themselves with massive debt for years in order to enrich the Establishment or they won't believe that there is any value in all the bullshit that is shoveled at them in the name of a Degree.
1. You have an ongoing business relationship with the clients and can expect plenty of new business from them in the future, or 2. They pay you for a support contract.
Or, depending on the level and severity of the support services required, you might do it just for the "goodwill" but if they're being pricks about it, fsck 'em.
There is a basic error in this idea that because there are roughly equal amounts of "slant" towards various partisan ideological points of view that this somehow adds up to being "neutral". Objectively neutral would be straight to the facts without ideological slant at all, if that's even possible given the nature of the subjects.
Those low-paid Asian jobs are still an improvement on those workers' lives. Soldering boards in a plant beats sticking rice seedlings in a field fertilized with liquid human shit any day.
This goes to something Orin Kerr calls the "Equilibrium Adjustment" theory of constitutional law. In short, if technological or other changes have altered the balance between government power and civil rights, the Supreme Court could find ways to adjust the balance.
Archival quality DVD-R or even CD-R is probably a better bet in the long run. Those formats are so pervasive now that they probably won't just up and die for a very long time.
"A decision will be taken to do such-and-such" does not mean the same thing as "we will do such-and-such". It's more like "we will think about considering the possibility of pondering the question of whether we should form a committee to examine the potential for doing such-and-such".
Well yeah, I get that, but it seems to me that the "magical thinking" of the OP was more on the line of "I don't know what causes X, so it must be some sentience that does it." It's the sort of belief that says "well, somebody had to create the universe, if that wasn't God, who was it?" That's quite a bit different from the error that makes people think they can explain quantum mechanical concepts using the logic of classical physics.
Since somebody beat me to the Jetson's car sound, I suggest the Monty Python clippety-clop coconut sound. As an extra bonus, a horse whinny for a braking sound.
He went into hiding, probably depressed. Didn't stay in touch with his lawyers. Then, worst mistake, he called the DA and talked to them without a lawyer present. He's screwed.
Generally, you also have to sign and return the letter to be able to collect whatever pittance is granted to members of the class if and when the case finally pays out.
"What better way to kill the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) bill for good than to nuke its author right out of Congress? That's what a group of Reddit users are trying to do after forming a Political Action Committee, or PAC. They want Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX.) booted out of office, and will do everything they can to see it happen."
If they succeed in booting Smith in the primary, that should put some fear into others who might otherwise support SOPA/PIPA style legislation.

You don't have to be rich to afford health care. You have to be rich to afford all the bullshit bureaucracy that comes with government healthcare.
"The rest of us" shouldn't have to pay for anybody's choices. How about everybody pays for their own healthcare expenses? Gosh, what a concept!

I've known some two-legged 'ore-dogs in my day, but this is the first time I've heard of the four-legged variety.

Call it the "Close enough for government work" chip.
Canon claims 200+ years lifespan for their archival quality paper and ink, but it's going to cost you a bundle.

Nice to look at once, maybe twice, but not every time I load the game. I'd rather look at a progress bar.

If you're trying to think about Quantum Mechanics "at the classical level" you're just doing it wrong. That's not magic, that's just error.
They have The Bite in Mexico (la Mordida).
