You'll get a minimally better price on an older spec new computer
In my experience the top of the range one is usually overpriced (there's always somebody who's willing to pay for bragging rights), but if you drop down one or two models (i.e. the top of the range from a year or two back) you'll get more bangs for your buck.
a much weaker ex-high end machine from around the turn of the century
There's old, and then there's ancient.
So just how's that HP/Dell/Lenovo stock you own doing?
because as oil becomes scarce it will be so expensive to burn it, that alternatives will become profitable by comparison.
Even the alternatives don't exist in infinite quantites, just waiting around to be used.
Supply and demand. Always works.
Supply and demand is about prices. It doesn't mean that there always will be a supply. If I'm wrong, tell me the current spot price for a perpetual motion machine or a breeding pair of mules.
the truthy ones like the Law of Gravity, the Big Bang, Piltdown Man.
You din't have the nerve to include evolution, did you? You were probably right because the minute some idiot mentions it there'll be a long offtopic flamewar.
about 66% of the population have already been attacked by phishers (section 4.1.1), and that therefore there is limited scope for the expansion of the phishing industry.

The asshole who bilked her out of 1.9 million bucks, he wasn't happy?
Will Russians be able to see it from their house?
I claim prior art! Hell, I am prior art!
There's already a method for that: it's called by the catchy title "buying a slightly older one".
A related technique is called "keeping the one you've already got".
And his pr0n stash. To spare his mother from finding it and being embarassed, obviously.
How's the ride in one of those? When I fly it tends to be an A320 or an MD-80.
The Japanese one is more similar to a cruise missile, in the sense that it had an onboead guidance syatem.

So what you're saying is we can never run out of oil, because after it's burned all the carbon and hydrogen atoms still exist in the exhaust gases?
Irrelevant. 15% of 200 million is more than 20% of 100 million. If you look at the sales, they're 1.5 times as much. Which is what I said.

They don't start growing until the ashes have cooled down, and I don't think the fire's out yet.
I'm surprised he didn't announce it two years in advance. After all, isn't that what they do with their products?
You're assuming they're competing and not colluding.
It has direct hardware support for rootkits.
Always mount a scratch monkey.
Yes, but only if someone hears it.
Is it? Well thanks for pointing that out to us, it's not exactly come on knowledge.
Is everything black and white like that? Some things are fine in moderation, which is a lot easier to achieve by tweaking demand than by regulating.
