They are not as original as they claim. There was a similar concept in kit car magazines in the 90's. There is a Youtube video (Yes, it is Flash but so is the video on the story)- https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
I seem to recall IR it is blocking is also a major part of heat transference. There could be some definite savings on cooling bills throughout the sun belt/southwest.
Anybody else reminded of the Heinlein stories where Solar panels took off when they started generating energy from the full range of cosmic radiation bombarding the Earth? Led to commuter roads in "The Roads must roll".
webkit is the core of Safari, and Open Source. It is based on KHTML, when Safari first passed the Acid 2 test, and those changes uploaded to the webkit tree, the KHTML guys complained about lack of documenting each incremental change. Heck, if you want to use Webkit as the basis for your own browser, you wouldn't be the first. Look at Chrome for example.
Yes, but once there they will pay state income and sales taxes. Either directly or indirectly they will pay property tax. If they buy property they pay it directly, if they rent, their landlord pays it.
Given relative cost of living, that $15k goes further for the one spending it.
If they transfer people in, those people transferring in experience something similar to a pay raise - same pay, reduced cost of living.
75 jobs probably doesn't count secondary employment.
75 more people employed means a few more restaurants stay in business or go into business, which means some jobs there, and so on across multiple sectors.
I didn't say they were paying more. I said they were paying a larger percentage. That would be true with a smaller government too (what did ab out mean, probably that I am too stupid to proof read).
Hmm... that assumes the tax revenue won't grow at all.
If there was not a business there before, and I offer 50% off the taxes, I am still growing my tax revenue.
Say taxes before were 100 million dollars. 80% paid by citizens. With no break the comany would pay 2 million, with a 50% break 1 million.
Tax revenue is now 101million. Citizens are still paying the same in taxes, and their percentage of the taxes has gone down some. Instead of 80% of the taxes they are paying 79.2%.
It might come back up to 80% with taxes on workers attracted by the new business.
A lot of time tax incentives does not mean the abscence of all taxes.
If a state agrees to tax a server farm 50% less than another state, the state giving the incentive still receives taxes.
Further, those are taxes they would not have received if the company had not taken the incentives.
Then you have the secondary tax effects. If the server farms adds jobs for everything from janitors and managers to network admins. Those then pay state income tax (if applicable), and make purchases in that state and pay state sales tax.
Usually tax incentives are done to promote business with the understanding is there will still be a net gain in tax revenue.
Before somebody starts accusing me of being Republican a lot of tax incentives for development and redevelopment come from Democrats. Ever heard of "urban renewal zones"?
Its long been suspected that the Russian government and Russian organized crime have cooperative links, if not outright overlapping "membership" (Putin is FSA/KGB, and its well known that ex-KGB members have been deeply involved in the Russian Mafia).
What is the difference between taxes and mafia extortion/protection rackets?
The law.
If you don't pay extortion/protection, they send people with guns to take away your property.
You don't pay your taxes, they come and take away your property.
However it varies state to state if they have to pay you for the two weeks. In California for example, to the best of my knowledge they don't.
If they are shutting down a facility completely there are some Federal laws that come into play, and the company has to pay for a certain time period. I believe its called the WARN act.

Doesn't this make the trees invasive species? Even if it is assisted.
This actually is very anti any that are disadvantaged.
Many poor or economically challenged if you prefer, do not have bank accounts - no debit card.
Which also means poor credit, and no credit card.
The prepaid cars have huge fees. $5-10 to load $10-100 on the card.
No, because of FATCA.
Many banks in Europe will not let them have an account if their US Citizenship is know because of FATCA.
Further, they would be considered an expat, and have to file regularly.

Blocking UV would have some benefits as well.

For iOS pretty much the only choice is MPEG-4, H.264.
I believe Android supports it as well.
Apple actually has a decent section in their web developer section on developer.apple.com about what is supported for iOS.
Yes, any number of iPhones linked to sync with your computer.
Or you can redownload for free with an account that purchased it on another phone. (limit on number of different accounts on the phone).
3 iPhones, 1 iPod Touch all have apps from my account (immediate family members).

The compliler Xcode uses is gcc.
Couple of good sites:

Voice of America started as a radio network for broadcasting news that shows a different point of view from that by censors in the old Soviet Bloc.
This just seems a continuation of the same mission.
The iPhone and iPod Touch with 2.0 or later can do Asian characters.
The article overlooks that. It isn't limited to just QWERTY.
West Des Moines is on some significant bluffs. It is a place people flee to when there is flooding.
Just read the article.
Those jobs are expected to pay $70,000 per year.
Using CNNMoney's calculator $70,000 in Iowa is equivalent to $92,000 is Seattle.

There have been other studies to try and explain it.
I recall there being one a while back about the wood having been treated by soaking in wine.
Then another about varnish.
Now this about the density of the wood.
What if it is a mix of all the factors?
Not likely since Rush Limbaugh is a Mac user.
Probably just means one that didn't go out through an external server. Only delivered in the local domain.
IANAL

Isn't it the record labels limited things?
I seem to have seen a post about that at some point on Apple's discussions boards.
From that, iTunes works with the whoever hold the distributions rights in that country. If those bands don't have a U.S. distributor.
One band I like "Growing Old Disgracefully" recently made the jump from the U.K., to the U.S. iTunes store by working with CD Baby.
Or the Teutonic Knights who invaded Poland in the 13th century.
Of course there isn't all the extra scenes, games, etc that are you the physical DVD when you download from iTunes.
When I played Shadowbane, somebody paid $300 for a player-owned city on the Mourning server.
The thing is player owned cities can be destroyed by other players.
He lost the city a few months later.
Restaurant business is a general term for food service, that isn't fast food.
Tips are where the real money can be made.
