Your first "example" is actually lifted from a parody originally performed by Eddie Murphy on Saturday Night Live in 1982. I saw it the first time it ran.

Yes, but--If it looks like a fox, walks like a fox, and barks like a fox... It's not at all unreasonable to conclude that we're talking about a fox.
I love it when idiots such as yourself try to play word games in order to justify their false beliefs.
I think some folks might have their outlook changed were they to visit another country where the majority are of a different race than their own.
I've spent a fair amount of time in China. Most folks there don't seem to have a problem with me being white/foreign. But I do occasionally run into someone whose dislike of me based on those criteria is obvious. It's an eye-opener, to say the least.
Yep because speculation and conjecture will really help at this point.
Large consignments of lithium-ion batteries get carried all the time without issue.
It's not just "speculation and conjecture" As the Daily Beast's companion article states (emphasis mine),
One item in particular jumps out from the cargo manifest: a consignment weighing 5,400 pounds that included a large number of lithium-ion batteries, radio accessories and chargers.
Tests conducted on a similar consignment of batteries in a cargo hold by the Federal Aviation Administration have shown that they are vulnerable to a “thermal runaway” when one battery overheats and a chain reaction occurs. In several of the tests, smoke and fumes reached the airplane’s cockpit in less than 10 minutes. Another test caused an explosion that blew open the cockpit door. This week United Airlines joined Delta in deciding to no longer carry shipments of the batteries in the cargo holds of passenger flights.
This issue was also brought up quite recently in a related discussion right here on Slashdot.
I worked breakfast time at a Hardee's while at school, and we had to suck out all the oil, run it through a filter, and scrub the inside of the fryer every morning at the end of the shift. Of course this was back in the 80s, things might have changed since then.
Shouldn't you finish cleaning the deep fryer before your manager gets back?
Perhaps, but I've other obligations on my time in addition to dispensing occasional pithy bits of wisdom to ACs on Slashdot.
"This unit is offered at a very special discount. Oh, and it will give your all bank and CC info to Gods Know Who. But it most likely won't eat your dog."
Yep, problem solved.
You watch way too much TV, and Lenovo is already screwing themselves over quite handily, no mystery competitor required.
What I'm saying (bearing in mind of course that This Is Merely My Opinion and that I Am Not A Lawyer) is:
Previous to this, Lenovo didn't promise not to sell machines with SuperFish installed on them. Now they have done so, and yet they're still shipping them with it.
Said another way:
To people who bought their machines previously, Lenovo could (and did) say, "Sorry, we screwed up, but we'll make it right," which could have had mitigating effects in the event of litigation. Now, they're out of any such excuses and thus MUCH more likely to get hammered in court.
...why should they reimage the drives of notebooks in inventory?
To avoid a class-action lawsuit, maybe?
So sez you.

I read the BBC story already. Just up late and bored, so I thought I'd see if I could troll some iFanboi, and l0ungeb0i eagerly took the bait.
I've heard that phones manufactured in the current decade have screen resolutions much greater than 320x240.
Perhaps it's time that you considered an upgrade?
