Yep. That's why the Soviet Union and China had no environmental problems at all, while the United States rots in a cesspool of filth.

What's that? The Soviet Union and China were some of the most polluted countries on earth? Really!?

I once went to an interview where the interviewer was on vacation. When she contacted me later, I told her that I was no longer interested in working for her company. That was a bit of an understatement, I would not have worked for them under any circumstances I could imagine.

An easement is a limited right or interest in the land of another entitling the holder to use, privilege or benefit.

Eminent domain is the legal right and procedures for a municipality to take title and possession of private property for public use.

You might be able to get an easement by using eminent domain, but the more normal process is to purchase an easement. Another way is what happens in a subdivision, where the developer defines where the easements are for such things as utility services (wires, fiber optics, water mains, sewer pipes).

That's the exact opposite of the experience at the company I work for. My department has been trying to hire 6 software engineers with two or more years of C# experience for most of this year. So far, we've managed to hire two. Not sure what the reason is, but there is a dearth of applications from people with said C# experience.

Maybe it's that we're not a typical software company doing web stuff (we do PC apps that configure our HW products).
Maybe it's HR filtering wrongly.
Maybe it's that we're in Wisconsin, instead of either coast.

Any more ideas?

For the books I usually buy, the price of a Kindle edition is half that of a hardcover. When the book goes to paperback the price usually drops to a buck or two less than the paperback. Seems about equivalent (or better) to buying a paperback and then reselling it to the used book store. Plus I get to keep my Kindle editions forever (even if the book has DRM unless something unusual happens -- and if I really wanted to, I could break the DRM and keep it anyway).

First one -- two months. Second one -- eight months so far. Learn not to leave it laying on seating areas and it will last longer. ;^)

People don't realize this because it is NOT true.

NIF does not have a single mission. A big part is weapons research, but that's not all they do.

Below is a quote from their web site:

Hmmm... We must be getting a better crop of interns than you. Our interns start out testing products and a year later are usually writing code for testing those products. Several interns have written code that ended up in our products -- these are the ones that we usually hire when they graduate.

All but one. That one was a Shopko and is now a Hobby Lobby. There are also a number of new stores in the area.

When the Wal-Mart opened near my home, many of my friends who were working elsewhere jumped over to Wal-Mart. Obviously they thought Wal-Mart a better place to work.

The comment you're quoting does NOT say it's not about money. It asks if the poster who said that "IBM moved a lot of them out of the USA" is a racist.

Last sentence of your quote from Wikipedia:

"Since then, improved strains of golden rice have been developed containing sufficient provitamin A to provide the entire dietary requirement of this nutrient to people who eat about 75g of golden rice per day.[4]"

Average rice consumption per capita per day is higher than that it the Philippines according to a number of sources.

So it is "high enough in and of itself to solve vitamin A deficiency."
