Otherwise, a quick education on some swiss habits is the "You know you've been in Switzerland too long when..." joke : original here, an updated variation.
I'm a Belgian which made the move to Switzerland, and working for the local telco (you'll hear about us, no worries;).
You'll find plenty of IT job in Zürich, no problems, you can also probably find "local" things in Luzern. (BTW, that's Lucerne only if you speak french). Commuting is OK, there's a wonderful transport system, but working near home leaves you more time with your family. You can also probably find both consulting and full-time salaried jobs without too much problems. Remotely, you can only check the big companies website (UBS, CS are both in ZH), but most can only be done on site.
Working permit may be an issue (as you're not from EU), but if you are married, you can probably work on your wife's permit.
Better be paid in the local currency, given that Swiss Franc is really stable.
You can import your car, but you'll have to pay (of course) for the transport there, but also for a check on noise/emissions. BTW those cars are well suited for here as well, and you'll find many of those.
Talking to Swiss consulate may help, but from my experience not much that give you a few brochures. For permit issues, the website is www.auslaender.ch. I'd think that other US expats may be more helpfull.
Oh, yes, and in case nobody told you (or your wife) yet : they don't speak German but a dialect (Swiss German) which varies from city to city. FWIW, I got my job in Bern without knowing german at all and got courses trough my company, but that was back in '01. French and italian won't be (that) useful around LU.
I don't know exactly which networks you are using, but I already used without any problems cards made by option (option) to connect to GPRS & UMTS networks under linux.
You just insert the usb-serial module with the good parameter and you have access to a serial modem.
So, if you'll be first in line to have a solution with 10 video cards, I guess you'll jump to buy one of Magma's PCI extension. The 7-ports extension cost just above 1000$, fill it with Radeon9200 (70 each), use the AGP port and 2 PCI slot of your main motherboard and you'll be fine.
In fact, this is more generally a DECT interface for computers, with the SDK, you can basically make software to run on your (siemens) portable phone and only be limited by your imagination.
And I just read (part) of the FA and it's just putting spin on the various records and sayings.
For example, for the usual securit means less privacy claims, Kerry says that nobody would disagree to lose a bit of privacy while Ashcroft says that only only the adversaries of peace would do that with phantom of lost liberties.
Well, nonwithstanding impact on other cases where DMCA is waived and the consequences over innovations in/with the USA, this question may also have an impact on the environment.
At a time here, it was cheaper to buy a new printer box to get a new (then full) ink cartbridge... Thus a lot of brand new printer trashing.

The vote of the parlament was in 2002. They had time to prepare.

Not counting such propositions
it'll be there before you'll be moderated as funny.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that "IBM India" call center isn't located in US ...

That's the PISA : program for internation student assessment, and they cover much more than just math. Reading is (IMHO) more important.
Here's the full report in PDF.
Or use "outlook web access" and XML over HTTP.
That's what Ximian (Novell) connector for evolution is doing.
Another big user of this interface is Microsoft Entourage (the replacement of Outlook for Mac OS X).

Going there is usually a good start (seriously).
Or, instead of going trough a (US-based) multinational, make the opposite, go to a local (US) branch of a (EU-based) multinational.
Most of europeans ? In fact, that's the only thing I learned at school.
That's not to be yet another US-flaming stuff, but I was wondering into which countries people primarly write in cursive and which in "print" ...

You just insert the usb-serial module with the good parameter and you have access to a serial modem.
Howto and utilies can be found here:
This card (should) work with any GSM(/GPRS/UMTS) network worlwide.
As a bonus, some verions can also have a wireless LAN module, which is more difficult to configure.

Opens Source Risk Management do that for opensource products in a vendor-neutral way ?
And, btw, MS new "indemnification" doesn't come for free like Internet Explorer, all MS users will pay for that
Well, that's precisely what Subway did by promoting "Super Size Me" in a very bash-the-fat-americans way.
See here for yourself. ("Amis" = abbreviation of Americans).
Did you put parisiennes on purpose ? bad experiences from previous relationships ? ;)
Well ... you can understand music quality in 2 ways ...
What they will do is pre-announce the forecoming security bulletings 3 days in advance, and without details.
So, on saturdays, every 3 months, you'll get something like : Next tuesday, there will be 5 new vulnerabilities, 2 of them being critical.

A closed-source library is part of the driver.
AFAIK, the win32 libraries aren't part of mozilla.
Now, that's a really good commercial (well, just the opening song/animation)
....
Just not to be taken on the first degree
Bullshit, it's not an opensource driver, as it relies on a closed source library.
Go read the matrox technical forums, they do not support 2.6.x kernel, nor last x11-xorg realeases.
Note, the above also applies to french-speaking and even italian-speaking regions.

It's so funny that I'm almost sure it was made on purpose by some spanish or french speaker
