Ebuyer exclusive- X1950XTX 'Uber Edition' with Dave Orton's signature

of course it does, America is owned finacialy by China, they own most of the governments Barerer bonds, because China has so much of America's money the US government has to make more meaning the curency gets devalued so in closing


Its actually mostly saudi arabia... but close enuf I guess..
 
And you didn't even state your sources.

10% of the businesses maybe, but thgose 10% are worth 10X as much as chinas 40% of businesses...
 
I like your attempt at trying to explain to jocksteeluk why hes wrong but. But that post is pretty much gibberish.

From what i can understand, politics bla di da, again very little to do with the current situation. Then you nicely explain the process of inflation and the self stabilising process. By the way, this isnt unique to the UK but this is exatly how it works in every free economy around the world including the US. After that, again some more waffling about needs and priorities, blad di dah.

At least you recognised jocksteeluk was wrong. :)

edit: oh yeh, the process mentioned above is crude and it is far more complex, but that what youd get taught in economics 101.


But the trick is to try to keep it simple rather than write a paper on economics, gladly economics aint the subject of this thread, and whilst you are right with regard to pretty much how it works within free economies, my "waffling" about needs and priorities actually is how it happens, a President or a Prime minister is not going to raise taxation/interest rates etc just before an election......hence needs and priorities, it isnt just about economics, its as you mentioned....political.
 
I thought saudi had ALOT of ready's tied up in the u.s.a? I dont claim to be a politician but the world is a very corrupt place and everybody owns a piece of someone! Its what makes the world go round!

P.S - I wish newegg shipped to uk, because hardware prices in u.s.a and current exchange rate are GOOD.....

Kuwait owns a peice of Germany and Mercedes Benz, the USA owned a peice (technically) of the UK for many years, a debt from the war, its life I'm afraid, some call it "investment" :D

It wont even be 10%. Maybe if you combine the entore world, you might approach any figure worth mentioning. However, youd still have to balance that against US ownership of firms in foreign countries. The USA has huge multinational corporations that dwarf any outflows from foreign ownership of domestic firms.
 
It's funny how thread's go totally off subject like this!

No one exactly knows for sure, so leave it at that! :slap:
 
lol what was ths thread about again?
 
Something about a pair of overclocked (and in my opinion overpriced) X1950XTXs, a James Bond briefcase, and Dave Orton's signature.
 
Why is it being done in the UK? Id have thought the US market would be more profitable?

edit: also just realised its a pair of cards, so this is cheaper than 2 separate x1950 cards.

edit2: ok maybe not, other places have reduced the prices of their x1950 cards significantly.

There's only like 60-70 of them anyways, so either way it'll sell out.

Maybe us brits are more interested than you guys in James Bond. It is a British based film after all.
 
nah its to do with the fact they can sell them for more money in the UK

And why would that be? If they can sell them for more it would be because there is higher demand for them in the UK which would most likely be due to things like the fact we are more interested in James Bond films and merchandise.
