Australia doesn't do that. If you are an Australian resident sure, but America takes it the step further than even if you aren't a resident of the US you still get taxed on your foreign earnings.

For example, if you were born in the US to non-US parents who then take you back to their native country when you are say 1 when when you earn an income in that other country 17 years later you need to file a US tax return. Of course you can just not do so but that will be an issue if you ever decide to move to the US.

We always just added

echo "sleep 1" >>$HOME/.bash_profile

to their .bash_profile (or the equivalent if they were using something other than bash).

And might have sometimes done:

cp /bin/sh /somewhere/world/write/readable/sh-[username]
chmod 4755 /somewhere/world/write/readable/sh-[username]

None of that has anything to do with "Apartments are practically divorced from price competition" or why you used "they don't become cheaper when more landlords own the same limited number of apartments" as evidence for that claim.

No I didn't. But exodog isn't a word and hence isn't a more specific term than dog.

You have a strange idea of "clearly given". I have no idea what that paragraph was trying to say.

Which is fine, my is worse than your english.

None of which has anything to do with the word "niche".

No. Please point out the bit where I gave them special praise or implied anything more than "the bare fucking minimum"?

Are you really that stupid, or do you just play a moron on the internet? http://investor.apple.com/divi...

One would hope so if you think "niche" means "intellect". Do you know there are online dictionaries you can use to check the meaning of words you don't know before you throw them around?

Since there are many alternative products clearly they are not significantly overcharging. If they were they would not have half the market.

Right, the "Cash paid for income taxes, net" line item in the filing has nothing to do with taxes or anything like that.

The filing has the number in it. Since you looked at it, why the fuck not read it there instead of in a comment here?

Are you claiming those planets are actually orbiting the Sun?

If not then exoplanet is more specific than planet and certainly not wrong. Do you also complain when people say they have a pet dog, with something like "No, you have a pet mammal"? (cue the next guy calling you wrong and getting even less specific).

They clearly are not confusing them. "If the exchange is for money, then the buyer values the money less than he values the thing he buys, and the seller values the thing he sells for less than he values the money he gets" is basically the text book definition of economic value after all.

"but they don't become cheaper when more landlords own the same limited number of apartments" - other than begging the question why do you think they would?

I didn't! I still can't see the stars with all these clouds and snow.
