   As an example, Apple has $100 billion parked in offshore subsidiaries that it refuses to repatriate to the US because the full 35% tax rate would apply. If the US were more tax competitive, this sort of thing wouldn't be happening. ht

   Kinda cool. I can imagine a day when, due to "pre-shipping," one could look at their wishlist and see an alert: "Receive this product today!"

   I was thinking the same. It takes me 30-40 minutes to fall asleep. When they are referring to a nap in these studies, does it mean full-blown sleep?

   This is not the case in states where a mortgage is simply a lien on the property. You receive a warranty deed, which includes a title search, and you own the property ( fee simple in legal parlance). If you have a mortgage on the property,

    Is it a sign of getting older when black background web sites get harder and harder to look at for longer periods of time?

    Also keep in mind that, from my understanding, he was confronted with this information and then admitted that it was him. This just reinforces the rule... never talk to the police.

    Thank you. This article also points out that the recipients still pay income tax. The original Bloomberg link isn't very informative or accurate.

    That betrays the basic attitude of these anti-car folks. It's not the cars, but the freedom to live where you want that they detest.

    I'm fine with both, as long as both parties are bearing the costs of their chosen option.

    Some people like dead-end streets and large yards. Some people want to prevent people from having such an option.

    Things like... I think gays shouldn't be beaten up and jailed in Russia for engaging in gay "propaganda?" Things that people who are under the threat of being beaten up and jailed for saying fear?

    I wouldn't call this "scary." It's not tough to apply basic technical analysis to charts. It may or may not go down, but TA isn't set in stone and only works in the long run in retrospect. See, e.g., the double top:

    This article is pretty much devoid of facts. Nothing's being taken away. Pensions were promised that couldn't be delivered. Reality is simply being enforced. Corruption was (and is) endemic in Detroit. http://money.cnn.

    I found this odd as well. The US Dollar was essentially a unit of weight for much of its early history. Much of the money circulating was in fact silver Spanish dollars, issued by the Spanish empire as a result of the gigantic silver mines

    Looks like they significantly cleaned up the warranty disclaimer and fixed the limitation of damages, which likely would have been a problem in US courts.

    Yes, I was being ironic. But those quotes don't help his case much. Saying "I took the initiative in creating the Internet" is, with or without context, just laughable.

    Weird, no mention of Al Gore's role in creating the Internet.
