Do keep in mind though, that VAT applies at every stage in which "value is added" to the product, not simply at the cash register. Move it from the back room to the shelf? Value added! Remove it from the box at home? Value added! Plug in its AC adapter? Insert a game to the console? Power up your telly? You guessed it!
Exactly! We need to discourage pensioners from spending all that extra energy on heat, when they have perfectly good gas furnaces just sitting in the attic, waiting to replace the electric heat they installed just to be wasteful!;-)
Perhaps you should take an introductory course in logic.. Or, at least, go learn to distinguish between "necessary" and "sufficient" conditions.
Then, having passed the 7th grade, return & reread this thread:-)
Keep in mind how utterly arbitrary (and meaningless) the "price" of a stock is, especially for an IPO. If they want to raise $6 Million, they could theoretically sell 6 shares at $1M each or a million at $1 each--or anything in between/beyond either end. If the stock comes out at $100, it isn't necessarily more expensive than another stock that comes out at $20. (Aside from what follows, think about it this way... You have $500 to invest. Do you really care if you've bought 5 shares at $100, or 50 shares at $10, if its value increases by x%? You make the same amount of money either way.)
What will really matter as far as the value of the stock, will be how much money they are earning per share, and what their growth rate has been recently/is estimated to be in the future--all relative to similar companies. Because I'm lazy and it's late, I'll just recommend you read something like this: http://investopedia.com/terms/p/price-earningsrati o.asp
seen your credit reports in years? You should be able to see them, once a year each, for free at annualcreditreport.com... Which, while it will try to convince you signing up for some service is a good idea, does not *require* you to as did/does the misleading freecreditreport.com.
You can go overseas and apply for these jobs if you want. Granted, you'll have to live with 8 other people in a one-room, dirt-floored shack, and you'll make a fraction of what you could make by even taking a "crap" job here in the States or in western Europe... but you're welcome to go do it!
I call BS. Everyone knows most people who read and post to slashdot live in their parents' basements, and have no job whatsoever--as producers of tangible OR intangible goods. Possibly as assemblers of greasy hamburgers. God knows almost none of us have any useful computer knowledge, or we'd have something better to do!
Presumably, though, if we're using a key fob we've brought the keys with us. I don't know if you use keys very often, but the back ends are easily grippable with heavy gloves on, and the front ends are smallish enough to punch numbers on a keypad. Granted, I personally just suck it up and take off my glove for the required several seconds.
Actually, pretty sure he specified soccer as it involves a lot of cardio work (running around kicking the ball), as opposed to American football with its larger focus on weight-room fitness. But what do I know.

None, but there's mad RP points in it for defecating on the server!
Sooo... What you're saying is, rather than attempt to destroy SCO completely, we should now buy Linux licenses to help them rebuild?
So, what if the bacteria are being seeded on very small rocks, then? Or perhaps churches.
iYup.
One does wonder how many recipients of a Skype phone would be without 'net access, however ;-)

Netcraft confirms it!
Interesting post, which begs the question... Are you a nearly-55-year-old imbecile, or a lying teenager? :-D
Inquiring minds want to know.
How the ruddy nora did this spanner get modded +5? Cripes!
Well that's just stupid. Sometimes you need a maul.
Totally... People who've grown up in poverty can be more driven than people who've never missed a meal? That *IS* interesting.
He is entirely FULL TO THE BRIM of shit. With some oozing out along the edges, and towing a wagonfull.

I, for one, am happy to gamble on being dead anyway by the time western civilization collapses. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to wal-mart.

Stop wasting so much time reading/posting to Slashdot, for starters ;-)
Yeah, I agree. It should be rewritten in Python!

You're right of course; booze should be right at the top!
Ow! OW! LEGGO DANGIT!
