I can honestly say it was the first I'd heard of a 'Myth that you can't go to work in India'.
I've had a couple of friends go to work in India from the UK in the last couple of years and their work visas and in one case naturalisation was all worked out in a timely manner.
Does this myth only pertain to the United States perhaps?
I can see that moving to work in India could have some instant financial benefits in that the cost of living (and therefore making a home) in India is presumably less than western nations and I understand that income tax is quite reasonable.
The resolution of Mars Express camera is circa 10m so it could be possible to spot Spirit if the pass is at the right time of day (Martian Dawn/Dusk and it can cast a 10+m shadow)
There could also be a possibilty of spotting Spirit or Beagles chutes if they have played out flat on the surface (and not been blown miles away by now)
I'm pretty sure this isn't a huge mission priority right at the moment because i'd imagine it taking a lot of analysis to find them in the pixels.
"...found that 32% of gamers were over 30 and 47% were in their 20s. It was the latest data to confirm that video gaming, once almost exclusively associated with teenagers, has become a mainstream interest.."
It couldn't possibly be that the teenagers grew up since the last big survey and are now in their 20's and 30's?
Initially, this could be implemented as a stipulation for your car to pass its MOT (MOT is the UK roadworthiness annual).
Then the police could check for the presence and operation of the device during road-side checks.
*So* Here's the trick - find its frequency and build yourself a nice little signal generator/transmitter to put out static at a higher power than the government device. (Duh, that was easy).
The thing that really upsets me about this is that you can almost guarantee the government will require car-owners to buy these units out of their own pockets.
I know there is something to do with Coriolis Force (or was it Centripetal effect?) and moving your head to one side in a centrifuge - the force uloads if you move your head inwards (towards the centre of rotation) and loads up if you move it outwards. BTW: I didn't take Physics;)
This tends to have the wierd effect of the 'pilot' being able to lighten or increase the percieved load of his head upon his shoulders.
They do mention tilting the seat to avoid disorientation when the arm accelerates but nothing about the pilot's head going off-centre.
Was just thinking that its equally likely that the door effect from Doom came from elsewhere. In fact the more I think about it, the more I believe I may have heard it before-hand.

Just for the record (from family experience) It's extremely hard and very expensive to move to Australia.
I believe visas start at around AUD$4600.
Regardless of where I move *to*, why on earth would I wan't to come back to this place??

Why do I always end up using UBB code here??
The British [b]government[/b] are acknowledging that we are part of Europe. (Arbitrary decision which did not involve the voting public :) )
Earlier news stories said that the lander spent about 10 minutes bouncing about in its airbags before coming to rest.
:)
So does this suggest that the first point(s) of contact with the surface were outside the crater? (even a long way outside).
It seems like a really lucky shot anyway

The Patent was issued on November 23 1999.
Somehow I don't think its going to take a miracle to find prior art here.
I think the USPO could really do with being staffed by people with Common Sense(tm).
You are correct; I have never owned a new car and I'll be blowed if I'm going to waste 1000-1500 just driving one out of a showroom.
:)
As for being poor - well, I'd have a lot less money if I was still paying for a new car
No, I'd rather they didn't try to spy on us.

I used to work in a distribution yard in the UK.
A 17t unit was manouvering outside the yard and manage to wrench a lamp-post off its base by gently reversing over it (no real damage to the unit.
Now if the number of wrecked speed-cameras in the UK are anything to go by, the truck drivers will start going after these too.
It's most likely that it consists of 61-65 pages as more that 65 pages would probably be referred to as "Almost 70 pages". ;)
Sorry, I was so tired I missed that bit :)

Thanks a lot matey, we'll remember that - Try to remember that the Beagle 2 is British and the British are Europeans.
Everyone knows there are no real employees of SCO anymore and the headquaters building stands empty
If you happen to be from the UK, you can walk into any public library and get free internet access at any time of day.

Just can't place it.
Its a special Christmas present just for Slashdot :)
The UK, dammit WE supplied weapons to Iraq too you know!
Wonder how many electron-microscopes Santa will be bringing the Pope this year? ;)
I know but I still can't keep up! :)
