My belly button has never been the same since. =/

I see the confusion. Exercising stock options means buying, not selling, and his tax bill will be from buying shares of stock. Put more simply, he'll be acquiring many new shares of facebook stock when it IPOs, but at a cheaper price (6 cents a share!) -- receiving this new stock will be treated as one-time taxable income. They must be non-statutory options, which I guess would make sense since they were granted pre-IPO. If he sells them later, he'll have to pay taxes on them again, unless they fails to gain value after the IPO. edit: You are correct about one thing, though -- turns out Zuckerberg himself will be selling some shares during the IPO as well (about 30 million out of the ~400 million being offered). I didn't know that. The article you linked explains why; he's about to buy 120,000,000 shares at 6 cents a share! That's quite a tax bill! So he's selling some shares he already owns so he can buy back shares at a cheaper price. Tricky.

What that article fails to mention is he's paying billions of dollars in taxes when he sells his shares in the IPO. The big question is does the CIA pay taxes on their investment? That's not how an IPO works -- he isn't selling ANY shares during the IPO: Facebook is. Facebook will pay the taxes on that initial IPO investment. And even if he sold his personal shares at a later date (up to him), taxes would be 15% -- we should all be so lucky The point of the article, though, was the he never has to sell his shares. He can simply borrow money against their value, and never pay taxes.

It's funny how everybody sees their own demographic on facebook. For example, I only see hipsters and douchebags.

BALLS!

Gotta spend $$ to make $$!

old guys are funny!

Not surprising, they've found all sorts of shit in Portland's open-air reservoirs, like empty paint cans and dead birds and stuff

You're doing it wrong

Looks like fun. How long of a ride?

White bread (bleached or unbleached) still has a higher glycemic-index than table sugar. Eating too many foods like this over the long-run (especially when combined with inactivity) may increase your chances of weight gain, insulin-resistance and heart disease -- even if it comes in a brown-paper sack from an artisan bakery.

You wear gaiters while hiking? Why?

with a slice of Tennessee ham?

Wonderbread is soft and pliant.

Is this a serious response? Does this produce any reasonable amount of water? The water will taste bad. The reason it tastes bad is because of who-knows-what leaching out of that black plastic into your water, probably greatly increased by UV degradation. I doubt that shit can be good for you.

but then how would he post on spray? Log on to CC at the public library after he walked there. Duh Who would pay for the library? In kevbone's world, everyone only gets $9000 a year.

I only steal women.
