So a stable release is too unstable for them? And now the first thing users will have to do is after install, apply all the bug fix packages to bring it to 14.04. But that will bring no unstability concerns? Or will they just not patch it and expose themselves to the bugs in the name of stability?

The hardware was not quite standardized at that time so CP/M had a layered structure consisting of a BIOS, BDOS and the command line processor. The BIOS was the hardware abstraction layer and was ported to the specific combination of hardware. The BDOS provided the file system and the command line processor provided a standardized interface. On top of this you would run the BASIC interpreter as an application.

As I understand it, the US is the only country that taxes you on income abroad. So why would there be double taxation elsewhere?

Do you have a list of these thousand drug companies and the countries they are located in?

I think it happens with medicines though not voluntarily. Basically in the US the drug companies have bought out the politicians so the price of medicines are sky high. Meanwhile in many countries like India, the government has negotiated or busted patents to get affordable medicines. The drug companies can live with this as long as Americans pay for the full cost of medicines.

That is no longer true. You just have to sell your startup to someone with more money.
