Very interesting - couldn't we also just evolve to live with a hotter sun in a billion years or will it affect other systems so much that life for humanoids will be more difficult?

These numbers have more to do with who is responding to the optional IEEE benefits survey (the IEEE target demographic) than it does actual salaries. There is a lot that seems odd with these numbers and they do not appear to be not very rep
