"No right to resell and no right to continue using it after hardware problems or major upgrades, etc. means that buying a copy represents a significant risk to the consumer."
So? What other option do you have than to take that risk?
Statistics can be a basis for prejudice. If you judge every person of a particular group based on statistics that apply to the group as a whole, that's prejudice. "You're black; here's an ad for a bail bondsman because you'll probably need one" is an example of that. You're right that statistics in themselves are not racist. The misapplication of statistics can be racist.

"when you send them to others for viewing you absolutely need to convert to plain ol' RGB."
Because you don't know if the person you're sending it to has software that supports color managment. It's the chicken and the egg. And by "plain ol' RGB" I assume you mean sRGB.
Of course nobody told Facebook about this, so there's nothing preventing the guy from deleting anything that makes him look bad before handing over the password. He's in trouble if he's caught, but he won't be caught if he doesn't make it obvious.
Right, but they have to know about the destruction of evidence first. So just delete anything that might be incriminating and you're good to go. If the judge felt like getting FB's records he/she would have done so in the first place.
If you're doing bad what does it matter if you're in debt or not? Obviously you can't pay it back right then, but that doesn't mean you should be let off the hook.

Typical.
No anonymity in a currency for drug dealers?
Entry-level refers to salary, not experience.
Benefits that people working 2 or 3 part-time jobs don't get.
The man on the radio told me that unions are worse than Hitler.
Sometimes reliability is more important then having a pretty UI.
Being correct is less important than being enticing.
Until you need to send a document to someone important, and you have to be sure it won't look "funny" when they open it up with Word.
Having the physical media in your possession doesn't change anything. It's only for your convenience.

How can the very first comment be modded down as redundant?
So? You still have an iPhone. Whether it works as advertised or not is irrelevant.
Of course they'll still buy iPhones, as long as Apple manages to keep the hipster marketing going.
Objective-C literally looks like vomit.

Their automated system wouldn't know about the court order though, you'd just have to tell them that the account is compromised.
Bankruptcy is by definition a "get out of jail free" card.
