May 20, 2011 at 14:50 comment added P.Brian.Mackey @DMA57361 - Hm, I feel that you may be overthinking this a bit. But, perhaps the user base of SU is so different from SO that it requires some modification of how I feel about site usage. But yes, we are going on a tangent. Should stop
May 20, 2011 at 14:48 comment added DMA57361 Mod Even then I'd not be sure, there'd still be lots of potential answers, many of which the validity of will be dependant on where you live and the locally applicable laws, for example. But, this is a bit tangential anyway, so lets return to the question at hand. :)

May 20, 2011 at 14:44 comment added P.Brian.Mackey @DMA57361 - I see your point. Perhaps I needed to add a detail to the question to avoid going that route. I was not looking for anything along the lines of "building an arch". I only wanted legitimate, environmentally or monetarily beneficial means of disposal.
May 20, 2011 at 14:42 comment added DMA57361 Mod True, but most questions have one or two answers that are right. There is no definitive "right" with that question, there are just 1000s of different choices - recycle? build an arch? sent to museum? put in storage? construct statue? donate to charity? give to relatives? dump in bin? - the list of possibilities goes on and on, and with no "right" answer the question will never end because people will always have more arbitrary suggestions. That makes it not a very good question for the Stack Exchange model.
May 20, 2011 at 14:38 comment added P.Brian.Mackey @DMA57361 - I disagree. There's many routes to solve any given problem on the planet. That doesn't mean there's no solution. It just means I haven't found the one I am looking for. Others may agree with the answer I picked, they may not. They may find another answer more useful and give an an upvote. This can be said of all questions. There's even a splitoff of SO and programmers for what can be marked as subjective vs not. Because SU has no subjective alternative I feel you should be more lenient in your decisions.
May 20, 2011 at 14:34 comment added DMA57361 Mod Frankly, your question probably should have just been closed as off-topic in my opinion. It's basically a "list of ways to dispose of old hardware", there's no definitively right answer.
