That's an interesting distinction, and I suppose the continuous version I would use is "what have you got?" rather than "what have you gotten?". While it's a request for inventory ignoring the process of acquisition, the verbicular acquisition is redundant due to an implication that that which has been acquired has been so from a starting point of nil. (See what I did there? I just adjectivised a verb! Ooooh, I just verberated a noun too!!!!)
So I guess the truly pedantic version are as follows (US English - English).
Obtained (infinite): "What have you gotten?"; "What have you got?" (funnily enough using the past tense)
Obtained (past tense): "What did you get?"; "What did you get?" (funnily enough using the infinitive)
Possessive: "What have you got?"; "What have you?"
The last one is correct, but as an Australian English speaker I also tend to (incorrectly) add the word "got" to the end of the sentence even though I know it has my late grandfather (an ex-linguist) spinning in his grave. He hated that as much as the incorrect substitution of "I" with "me" as in this common mistake made by uneducated people attempting to sound educated like my friends and I. Bad grammar was something up which he would never put, while I find myself content to totally split infinitives, for example. I guess languages evolve and diverge and old rules cease to apply, but generally in Australian English, while it's now common to misspell gaol and refer to 10^9 as 1 billion, we do tend to adhere to stricter English English in f***in' anal^W formal settings.
Like I said, I have been lucky that the colours have worked. I've used a domestic laser printer that supports CMYK to do proofs. My usual work doesn't involve CMYK so it's not worth the investment having done two print graphics jobs in the past 3 years. Also, I prefer the workflow I have on a gnome2+compiz desktop so dual boot or wine for PS is not ideal.
But see that's the thing about the pentagram. The symbol with positive connotations has a single point at the top, the satanic one has a single point at the bottom. Like the swastika, the ancient symbol is made up of horizontal and vertical lines, the mid 20th century corruption of it has all the lines at 45 degree angles.
A classic example of the correct use of the swastika in WW2 was by the Finnish air force.which used a swastika the correct way round. Sure they were allies with the Germans for a while, but only out of neccesity. When the Germans said "you must do something about the jewish problem, the finns said "what problem?".
Actually rather than "off of" or "off", Non American English speakers would say "from" when someone builds and adjective from a verb. At least those with a grasp on grammar. Like the correct version of "What have you gotten?" would be "What did you get?".
I would love to see full CMYK support. Luckily all the pro print graphics I have had to do of late have worked by converting from RGB to CMYK and trusting the colours will come out right which is obviously a crappy way to work. I just don't do enough print graphics to justify buying PS.
I don't know much about OSX, but I know a clean install of Windows 7 takes a bit longer than a clean install of Ubuntu, mostly because of the extra rebooting.
Australia != Northern Australia. The beach within walking distance of here has, like most Australian beaches, never had box jellies or crocs any where near it.
We're talking about software here so it all attracts 10%. In most cases we're talking about electronically distributed software. So your arguments are irrelevant.
The only relevant two are GST applying in Australia but not elsewhere and currency exchange fees.
These are handled in two ways. One is to set up an Australian subsiduary (a PO Box and one of those professional services shells) that handles the GST and banks the money in AUD. When there is enough, transfer it in in bulk overseas for 1-2% fees. Another is to sell software online in the US in USD. This attracts no GST the customer pays the currency exchange fees, and there's no need to display a different price based on location.
The trouble is the sites already do display a different price based on location and the price displayed for Australia is far and away more than the price for the US for no other reason than they can get away with it.
Also, no wonder you're an ex small business owner, they way you do the figures for the GST. The GST on something you spent $40 for is $3.63.
My accountant told me that it would be cheaper and easier to just pay the gross GST and forget about claiming GST on inputs, because that would mean I no longer had to file GST returns.
Let me guess, you pay thr GST to him and he hands it all on to the ATO on your behalf?
You need to get a competent accountant and perhaps look into your record keeping....
There is an implied freedom of association in the constitution. You just need a lawyer who's up on the relevant bits of the law and the laws themselves would be thrown out.
I'm being a bit more specific, AC. I want to know inputs and outputs of a process. If I am to live in a country with any sense of freedom, I must know inputs and outputs..... and not random wankery. But thanks for trying.
What do we do with the waste? It's mostly ( >90% ) more dangerous than ore. The biggest problem with Fuckishima (sic) is the ponds of waste. Scaremongering aside, when solar is cheaper for a country than nuclear, why go with nuclear? (as is the case in my country)

And this has what to do with the uniform GST on all software exactly?

You're trolling!!! 1 AUD is1.0451 USD...
Seriously, who links to a dynamic exchange rate as justification for calling someone a troll?

Pffft. You WISH you had an adolescent boy in you.
Yeah, but a decent infrastructure in hot salt works for most of the world, including your country. There's no need for fission or even coal
