Uhh, well there IS no "big Apple picture" on the front page.

Only this one http://www.timecanada.com/index.adp brings up the frontpage + Apple picture.
Even without the "advanced tab", by just including the site name in the search string google works fine.

I know it's a nuicanse but they can not refuse you the permit. The same is valid for me when I work in Italy for an Italian employer, as long as I work there through my Dutch company it's not an issue.

You are partially right, movement in Europe is not as accepted on the same scale as it is in the US, but it is possible.
Some examples:
In Holland we have a strained labour marked and quite a few Brits are working here, mainly in shipbuilding and industry.
And the Dutch construction industry has been trying to get unemployed German builders to come over but that's not easy due to quite different building practises and the exelent social security in Germany

Free, yeah right.
And where do you think the governement got that money from??
It is hours after your question but;
When the UK opted out of the Euro the Pound was still reeling after the attack by Soros. In my lifetime I've seen the UK Pound drop (in Guilders)from 12.50 to 1.80 in the latter years of Tatcher and Major and then slowly creep out of it's predicament to the present over-rated 3.65. It is generally accepted the Puon should be no more than 2.20-2.50 Guilders (1.00-1.15 Euro).
Until the German reunification the Mark was strong. Even then and especially in the early and mid 90's the Dutch guilder was (a lot) stronger, only strong opposition of the Germans and French prevented it from being revaluated in the years leading up to the Euro.
Even now the Guilder would be the strongest currency of Euroland (OK, the Irish Punt would do well too).
Actually, GMT is measured from noon whereas UTC is measured from midnight. However, few use the noon measurement and refer to GMT as if it were actually UTC.
And then there are the leap seconds as well.

Hmm, tried the Media Player plugin without success.
Installed the Winamp plugin and Yo!, Music from that half submerged mountain ridge in the Western Atlantic!
But the suggestions made in the parent post are unrealistic, the eyesore and expense of the 170 m. diameter and 1000 m. high tower against a sloping (30%? slope=bad efficiency) chimney that by definition does not have the circular (=max. efficiency) base of the tower is a questionable trade off.
Just imagine the diameter increase you need because of the slant, you'd probably end up with a 300+ m. tube on the mountain side....Even at 170 m. diameter it would be quite an engineering challenge to not have it collapse under it's own weight !
From an environmental view it's going to be hard to explain why the snow has disappeared from the mountain since the chimney has been constructed.
Using other sources of heat instead of the temp. difference in the atmosphere is a ridiculous suggestion in the context of a tower because in countries that care that type of energy is already being used wherever economic.
You are related to Bush (Zapata oil, Arbusto Energy) or Cheyney (near-bankrupt Halliburton)?
It is especially schemes like these that can do something about CO2 emissions.
Why? Because of the scale, comparable with existing power plants and it can run day and night.
But even when the CO2 scare would prove not valid, burning oil and gas is still a gigantic waste of a beautiful resource with limited stocks.
Hey, you didn't read the article (well at least you didn't understand it).
The tower is "only" about 170 m. wide (at the base), 1/6th of it's hight says the article.
When the "sloping" greenhouse roof ends up at the tower it's still no more than 40 m. off the ground 'cause that's where the generators are planned to be. And to get 24 Km2 of greenhouse you "only" need to cover a ~2 Km radius around the tower, greenhous areas in the populated parts of Holland are stretching for a lot more!
You've got a point, luckily it's in an area where there's little to "dammage" at least on a world- or even nation-wide scale. And at least this type of influence on the weather is over the moment you switch the thing off (would've made for a rather expensive experiment)
Someone's got to be the first
If your logic had been applied to the expensive technical inovations of the last 200 years we'd still be using horses for travel and wax candles for light. Besides, it's prooven technology, not exactly an experiment; "just" upscaling of what is already known.
Any large sized powerplant would be designed for at least 20 and possibly 50 years of use.
And what do you mean by inconsequential amount of CO2 reduction? this plant would as you can read in the article deliver a consequential portion of the state's power!
Hmm, around my parts interest for large utilities is less than 4.5 %.....
Then you add some (inter)national problems like greenhouse emissions, imports of fossile fuel and you'll get it subsidised by the governement.
roughly >the equivalent roughly is the key, in our usual room there are plenty of combustibles that we don't see as such until we introduce a large % of Oxygen.
Horrible example is the Apollo-1 fire on January 27, 1967.
That's where we Europeans as a whole differ from North Americans; what German TV is showing at night time is not realy concidered porn over here, OK, the label Soft-Porn is often used but say in Holland, Italy or Denmark you could possible air a minute of that stuff at prime time without getting complaints.
It might be true from an US perspective, the German free to air satelite stations have lots of soft porn during night time.
But although this stuff hardly raises an eyebrow in Europe would have you shut down and locked up in the US in no time.

So far the Philips CD patents etc. have been open source and cheap (like free), why would they now change this profitable scheme?
