You really don't have a clue. Those bulk of those costs are related to location, location, location (i.e. the real property they sit on), not the physical structure.
Please do continue to present examples which disprove your argument, though. It's highly amusing to watch you argue with yourself.
The problem is baby-producers, who instead of being parents, depend on technology to babysit their offspring, and who substitute materiality for human interaction (here, kid, get this game and leave me alone). Well, that and they're too dumb to RTFM before handing over control of their bank account to those kids. That's OK. When they're old and feeble, the kids can practice what they've been taught by buying them a big-button remote, so they can drool alone in front of the TV, and the kids will only have to see them on holidays.
Do you have a point? Not only does that link NOT point to wooden houses (there is one 6600 square foot brick home estimated at $10,414,740), it doesn't provide an empty property price for comparison.
The 15 minute behavior has been documented for over 3 years. Additionally, every purchase requires confirmation. As I said, this is a parental failure. If you can't raise kids who can be trusted with a blank check, simply don't give them one. If you don't understand how the purchasing system works, don't use it, and certainly don't authorize your kid to do so.
A really good example of such potentially inefficient transactions is children, who do not understand how much time and effort it costs to acquire money, are in the throes of video game passion and a screen pops up saying, "Win More, Only $3.99! Buy Now!"
If they can do that, those children have much larger issues than a $4 charge - they have stupid and irresponsible parents, who are not only providing inadequate supervision, but are incompetent at teaching their children life skills.
Those in-app purchases require an account password - that's a parental responsibility. Allowing the kids to know the password is no different than sending them to the toy store with a blank check. Not only are the parents not teaching their children to take responsibility for their actions, the parents themselves aren't being responsible.
So, how do they engineer forcing the parents to provide a credit card to the kids? My understanding is that no purchases can be made unless an account password is entered - that's a parental responsibility. They're not preying on gullible kids, they're taking advantage of stupid and irresponsible parents. Such stupidity should be painful.
Don't all of these text editors require a GUI? I prefer something which can work with a serial/telnet/(basic ssh) console, without all the unnecessary overhead of a GUI. I like joe (which can reasonably emulate emacs/pico, if you want), but can deal with vi if I have to.
It's a simple matter of getting all hands on deck and thinking outside of the box, so they can add value to a 6 sigma paradigm, architecting it to meet mission critical business needs while driving a best of breed reprocessing, in order to improve the EBITDA and get the boss a big bonus. If we can globally revolutionize synergistic e-commerce while doing so, win-win!
"the foam is so efficient in dissipating heat that the exterior surface temperature never rises above 50 C (122 F) in normal use."
Hey, I can glue a chunk of styrofoam on a CPU, and the outside of it won't even get that hot. I wouldn't use that fact to claim that styrofoam makes a great heatsink, though. Quite the opposite.
Yeah, right. Android came later than the iPhone the same way the iPhone came after the LG Prada.
It was when a convergence of technologies at the necessary pricepoint (capacitive touchscreens, high density color LCDs, low cost GPS chips, flash memory, higher speed cellular data, etc.) came together that the smartphone market took off - not any one vendor.
You're the one who's confused. I was responding to the GP, who claimed "Given the opportunity cost of the money an investor spent on buying Amazon stock, it's pretty much effectively a loss."
Amazon increased their net assets by about $3/share FY12-FY13 (on revenue per share of ~$170, so less than 2%), so re-investment doesn't explain their lack of significant bottom-line profits. They're just working on low margins.

Woo hoo! I can do that. That makes me a superhuman!

Unless it's a huge mansion, you're not paying $700K for the house. You're paying the bulk of that for the real property the house sits on.
Turn in your phone. You're obviously too stupid to be responsible for it.

"Apple didn't come from behind in the smartphone market. They created the market. "
Well, that's one view into the reality distortion field.
A refutation would involve simply pointing to another case of and Apple patent lawsuit. You're just trolling.
They needed to do physical work to survive, they didn't have the luxury of sitting still.

If the settlers were such wimps, Atlanta wouldn't be a city.
Government is the people. This is a matter of regaining control from the evil overlords.
Interesting, thanks for that. That seems a much better counter-argument than the claims that an electrical starter can be assured to work.
But, what about generators in cold environments? Isn't some glow plug heating required in order to start?
