Comment OUTSOURCED! (Score 1) 441

by the.zlogrian.lax (#31665944) Attached to: Best Way To Land Entry-Level Job?
Go to India. Wait at a bus stop. Some random person from an HR agency will recruit you for XYZMantra Software Solutions. For a pittance and stressful competition, you can have that dream coding/developing job. Indians are great at coding and very poor. Americans are smart. So they outsource. Even the Literature graduates and housewives. I live here so I know. My brother was an SCJP at the age of 11 and interned at Sun Micro at 12. He's now onto a UMich PhD in computer networks. I use coding(C) to predict what is most likely to happen in a manufacturing process before it is physically set up.

Good SAT Scores Lead To Higher Egg Donor Prices 175

Posted by samzenpus from the golden-parachute-eggs dept.
alphadogg writes "Analysis from Georgia Institute of Technology of college newspaper egg donor ads showed that higher payments offered to egg donors correlated with higher SAT scores. 'Holding all else equal, an increase of 100 SAT points in the score of a typical incoming student increased the compensation offered to oocyte donors at that college or university by $2,350,' writes researcher Aaron D. Levine in a paper published in the March-April issue of the Hastings Center Report. Concerned about eggs being treated as commodities, and worried that big financial rewards could entice women to ignore the risks of the rigorous procedures required for harvesting, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine discourages compensation based on donors' personal characteristics. The society also discourages any payments over $10,000."

Anonymous Meoward writes "In what may be the weirdest perk proposed by a municipal authority to entice business, city councilman Bonner Gaylord has offered to name his unborn children Sergey and Larry, after the founders of Google. All he wants in return is the search giant to build its proposed high-speed fiber-optic network in Raleigh."
