I've sold rental properties with tenants in them before. It's my property. I give notice as stipulated in the agreed contract, they leave, I sell.
There's the rub. When the government exercises eminent domain, they don't have to honor the lease. They can just tell you they want the property, give you a check, and kick people out with as little notice as they wish.
Statistical methods of calculating population size will have margins of error error above 1%, which could be enough to throw a state an extra representative, or deprive them of one. You want to get as close to 100% as possible.
The candidate I saw leveraging the power of the Internet the most, early in this election, was Ron Paul -- and it looked like most people just used it to smear the guy. EG. "Nobody but spammers and a few computer geeks with loud mouths care about him!"
This is a disingenuous argument put forth by people who want the corrupt two-party system to continue. You might as well argue that Democrats in Texas and Republicans in California should stay home on election day, since there's no chance whatsoever that their vote will make a difference in the election.
People should vote for whomever they want, and if they think the major difference between the two parties is how they want to screw the country over, they shouldn't be mocked for choosing a third party.
Whoever modded me a troll should immediately lose all geek cred. My post was word-for-word from a Clarke story, except I changed Bethleham to Sri Lanka.
There were so many stars you could have used. What was the need to give those people to the fire, so the symbol of their passing might shine above Sri Lanka?
If you try all of Dan Brown's books and realize they're all crap, you can legitimately say Brown's a crappy author. Same with Twitter -- I've never seen a post of his that isn't reflexive Microsoft bashing.
The point is I want the updates for the Apple products I use -- and I shouldn't have to uncheck something to prevent the updater from installing additional software. Note that Firefox doesn't try to install Thunderbird when you update, and Flash doesn't add Adobe Reader when you update.
Sir Arthur made sure that the book followed the script as shot,
In the book the Discovery is going to Saturn (with an entire chapter devoted to the funny geology of Iapetus), and it ends with Bowman/Space Fetus blowing up an orbital weapons platform as a way of telling humanity to behave.
Unfortunately he did a lot to promote pseudoscience. I remember watching his TV series as a kid and thinking, "Wow, if Arthur C. Clarke believes in UFOs and yeti, they must be real."
If they have network shares, that should be sufficient enough to transfer data to a colleague.
What if they need to transfer the data outside of the organization -- say a social worker took digital photos to document abuse and needs to bring them to court as evidence.
Industrializing the third world will create new markets. It might also drive up the price of labor, but when that happens it tends to create a demand for cheap automation, which inevitably makes people more prosperous because everything gets cheaper.
While economic growth doesn't rely on population growth - population growth relies on economic growth. Not in the strictest sense - because we can have more people with less to go around - but in the sense of traditions that are far more powerful than rational thought.
The facts don't support this -- poor Third World countries have much higher growth rates than prosperous First World nations.
Actually, the people who don't understand an exponential growth curve and what it means on a planet of finite size are the ones not worth listening to.
I understand what an exponential growth curve means. I also understand the difference between one and an S-curve, which is what all recent census figures indicate we're on.
The point is that if we really were such clever tool-wielding mammals, then we wouldn't (for example) gamble with highly unpredictable and potentially catastrophic climate change,
As intelligent tool users, the question we should ask ourselves about climate change is at what point the economic tradeoff of stopping it outweighs the economic costs of letting it continue. This is a serious discussion that we should be having, but aren't because conservatives have their heads in the sands about whether it's happening at all, while certain extremists on the other side are running around like Chicken Little because they're assuming worst-case predictions will turn out to be true. There's no oxygen in the room for a serious discussion of the issue.
This strikes me as a bit disingenuous. Population growth with a shrinking economy will mean less to go around.
You're absolutely correct, which is why I didn't say you could have population growth without economic growth. My claim was the exact inverse -- you can have economic growth without population growth.
The earth is a closed eco-system, unless we head for the stars. There have been many studies of population growth in closed systems. They end with a lot of suffering.
Studies involving animals that can only improve their exploitation of the environment through evolution. Humans aren't so limited -- as tool users, we can optimize our use of the environment with technology. The hard-limits of physics -- the amount of phosphorous -- are a long way away.
It's quite possible that human population will trend nicely towards an equilibrium, however, our very economic system is based on perpetual growth and not equilibrium.
Economic growth doesn't necessarily require population growth.

The apartment owners could get compensation from the government. Renters, not so much.

Like I said, I don't care which party the guy belongs to, if he hangs out with religious wingnuts, he doesn't get my vote. So go Cynthia McKinney!
Any candidate who hangs out with loony-toons religious preachers loses my vote, I don't care what his party is.

That's Joseph Smith. Matt and Trey have nothing against the inventor of modern capitalistic economic theory.

He has incriminating pictures showing how Commander Taco got his name.
No, nice girls do go down. That's what makes them nice. Duh.
And that is why you will always be an aspiring author.
