I think there's three markets here: (and my numbers are complete bullshit)

1. Joe Public, needs a web browser and perhaps a word processor (90% of the old PC market)
Solution: a cellphone, perhaps with docking station and external monitor (TV)

2. Advanced office user and 50% of developers and gamers (9% of the old PC market)
Solution: Something like the Surface tablets, with docking station and external monitor

3) Real power users and gamers with more money than sense (1% of the old PC market)
Solution: Workstation calibre desktops

Contrariwise, what we need is a trustable CA that gives out free certificates.

Your memory serves you well, the aluminium cans did not take off until the late 70's early 80's when the technology needed to recycle them was invented.

Disclosure: one of the inventors on that patent is my father, his other research was in solar panels, ocean thermal engery (otec), the aluminum air battery , the use of adhesively bonded aluminum structures such as the Jaguar XJ and hybrid diesel electric vehicles.

Oh I don't know, that was one of the best flame bait comments I've seen in a while. It was damn near poetic.

Some time between now and November 2016, I would like to see one article about Africa that doesn't have a comment from some mouth-breather emoting all over the page about Obama.

Is that really too much to ask.

I am sick up to here of the bullshit.

Swing and a miss.

I vote Liberal, I call myself a socialist, I sent my kids to private school and I probably make more than you.

Congratulations, you won todays "Race to the Bottom", your prize of a fetid pile of turds can be collected from your local Republitard office.

Polling strikes back.

I'm looking forward to "Revenge of the Polling" in 2020

The "system" has been discriminating against women for a long, long time. So now people are doing something about it and assholes like you get in the way and play the victim.

Well fuck you, and fuck your attitude.

I like big chess and I cannot lie.

Good, those costumes aren't the least bit sexist. (And if you can't tell this is sarcasm I suggest you check out the costumes.)

Good job Australia, nice to see you keeping your end up and your standards low.

Suck it up princess.

No true Englishman would use a teabag.

Barbarians.

Which is why they need a book.

Is this so hard to understand? They're in over their heads and they need a hand.
