RE: Average age of TDWTF'ers
I'm 0x37, which makes me the patriarch around here (so far...). Jetcitywoman and AMerrickanGirl: whippersnappers.
My first programming was on a 16K TRS-80 Color Computer in 1981. By 1990 I'd decided I wanted it for a career and started college at age 37 (decimal this time). Been doing this professionally since 1995, and still loving it.

I'm new to the sidebar. You should know that.This is the side bar, you should know better than that :-) If people can pick a hole in your post, they will.
And I post to share, not to butt heads. I guess in time I'll become as jaded as you, huh?

Mole: whatever. It was never this important to me. I found what appeared to me to be a funny contradiction in terms, and I thought that by posting it here I might share a laugh with others. I didn't realize how important it was to the rest of you to demonstrate your superiority by shooting down every post.

Your missing one key feature of the advertisement and the way that businesses work.
@fyjham said:I think you're missing the implied "Quantities [at sale prices] are limited". Personally I thought, like the advertiser clearly did, that it went without saying.
So, in other words, less is more? Or is it "More is Less"?
We've got 50,000 of these sumbitches. We've had 'em for the past five years. You better damned well buy one quick before they all sell out.
Firstly, people are going to be more interested in buying stuff (or at least just clicking the link and looking, which is the entire point of the advert in question) when they are offered 70% off. Without this key feature I would agree with you, but since they have gone to the trouble of emphasizing it, I can't.
Secondly, many businesses work by predicting stock purchases months in advance to ensure they get quantities and appropriate discounts. If stuff doesn't sell as expected, the stock goes into "aged stock" and then gets flogged off at much cheaper prices. I know a number of companies where the aged stock limit is 3 months.
So its more like "We now have more stock then we'd like of some items. They are using up too much warehouse space we can use for more profitable stuf, so they have to go. Obviously we will not be buying any more until we run low (and then we'll hike the price back up if they are still selling), so stocks are limited at this price."
Or alternatively, exactly what the ad says. -

Okay, I've read this five times, and I still don't have a clue what you're talking about. Wnat... are you driving a garbage truck around the neighborhood looking for a place to dump old hard drives?@bstorer said:
Let us not forget the trucker's oasis, Flying J.
You know, my day job (which has really fucked off and died thanks to the horrible economy - we've put the entire company into deep freeze, which thank god is possible because we own all our assets outright) is as a sort of "executive" for an environmental company myself and a few other guys founded specializing in disk sanitization and the full service removal out outdated electronics (and then the secure, environmentally friendly disposal of such - I prefer to call this the "dirty, manly side of IT"). One of my responsibilities involves driving the truck around the country. I've never actually managed to stop at a Flying J - and if scrap pricing doesn't get off its ass and bounce back, it'll be awhile before I get a chance to do so.

If you don't understand why Wa-Wa sells T-shirts online, you apparently need an introduction to Pennsylvania: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vl3jK8NCLFc[/url]
Wow, that was interesting... Pennsylvania reaches out in an attempt to become like Texas/California/Florida/New York.Note the use of the BBCode url tags in my post.
