    Except that oil prices are based on global demand, not U.S. demand

    Global? That's to do with the so-called "rest of the world", isn't it?

    I suspect that if the person you're attempting to educate is as good at geography as he is at economics then he:

        a) never heard of it
        b) doesn't believe in it
        c) thinks it's flat.

    Now I can see why. And yes, onion rings would be just fine.

    other than Henti != Hentai is there anything about my post that rates it Klingon?
    Hmm. You seem to be not understanding the word "if". But anyway, it was merely a dig that you can do some pretty naff and useless subjects at uni these days - among them watching cartoons and speaking made-up languages.

    The value for a piece of software can be determined by how long it would take a developer to develop it multiplied by said developer's salary, plus overhead costs like equipment, facilities, insurance, etc. Indeed, this is true for anything, not just software.
    In a way, yes. But I would say that's the cost. Or the break even price. Or projected cost if you haven't done it but you're thinking about it.

    The value is what it does for you. If a company spent X developing a system that didn't work, would you say its value was X?

    Yup, you see that with the free software on magazine cover disks. Usually it's what the software (usually it's two versions behind the current one) sold for back in the day.

    A battery (primary or secondary) is a consumable and recognised as such by the industry.
    If it's recognised as a consumable, fair enough - but in that case (pardon the pun) a design that doesn't allow it to be changed is a crap design, no matter how fucking seamless it looks.

    Like any complex system, the health of a nation probably can't be pinned on one single factor.
    Agreed. For one thing, Japanes companies expect their workers to put in long hours, but they take care of their employees in return. At one time firing someone would be seen as dishonour for the boss, though I hear it's not like that so much recently.

    Then there's genetics and diet to consider. I suspect in both those factors the Anglo-Saxons resemble each other more than either resembles the Japanese.
