If I recall correctly, the major manufacturers in the 90s (Dell, Gateway, etc) voluntarily recycled their stuff due to outcry over the newly coined 'e-waste'.
If this were just about computers/devices, you might have a point. But this legislation got it's start with farm equipment, and new EULAs that forbade fixing it yourself. Which is historically how smaller farmers were able to afford to use heavy equipment - they repaired it themselves. Apple is just the one complaining the loudest, because this would ostensibly affect them, too.
It's not just about Apple. This legislation has merit.
This isn't about using bittorrent over Tor; this discussion is about accessing TPB (the tracker), which is necessary in order to obtain either.torrent files or magnet links. Once acquired, the client can be run as usual (not over the Tor network), and Cogent's blocking will have no effect on that.

Whoosh.
That completely depends, now doesn't it?

All men created equal, it says.
If by 'it' you mean the Declaration of Independence, then you'd be correct. The Constitution, however, does not contain these words.
Again, my point still stands.

...with the current interest rates, what should i have done with the dough anyway?
Bitcoin would have been a better investment.
Just checked out that spoof. Pretty good!
How's the fidelity on that whoosh? Clear?
Most of them would still be struggling to finish it, so I don't see your point.
direct or indirect comparisons between the Obamas and great apes
'Great apes' is a common name for Hominidae, of which humans are a member. I, for one, am proud to be a hominid.
