Add to the list the need for reference letters from your jobs during past 5 years.
Actually this is pervasive in Australia...you need reference letters from people who have known you for 2 years to get a bank account, a mortage, opening a business, whatnot. To rent a place, you need to give the past 2 or 3 addresses you've been.
I applied for PR in Oz and moved over there when I got it. In spite of this I still had to overcome the chicken and eggs problem of knowing no one and no one knowing me (so who could vouch for my being an honest and 'moral' person)
On the other hand people coming from UK seem to be familiar with this kind of BS...which was probably exported to Oz in the first place. Together with uniforms at school, hence the need for suits.
As a migrant in Oz, though, once in the workplace, it's all good if you can deliver. Don't expect to make too much money though. And forget about sharing in the success of the company, for example with stock options.
Finally, examine the tax situation before you move in any case!
Singapore has to stop these verbal or written attacks and slander before the situation degenerates.
With all these religions next to each other it could quickly become ugly.
As for caning, I'd rather have my child be caned than spend time in jail with hardened criminals.
A dentist friend of mine used to hypnotize patients to reduce their stress and pain. The effect of the hypnosis lasted for a few hours.
He stopped when an angry husband threatened him, because the wife always came back home from the dentist soooo relaxed. He tried to explain to the jaleous husband it was just hypnosis and nothing else. Apparently he didn't convince him, and never saw the patient again.
It has happened in Europe and North America. I will happen in China, India, South America and Africa: People are having babies later in life than they used to. We are seeing lots of toddlers with 40+ parents. This may very well dispose off the gene lines where some major problem (disease etc) prevents people from having babies at or over this age. The result will likely be healthier first half of life.
There is a law in Australia that makes it illegal to commit or attempt suicide.
Promoting or inciting suicide is illegal too, hence the fines. Besides it's easier to go after the promoters than after the suicidees.
Consider that, before 1967, jews could not go and pray to the temple wall in Jerusalem. It was not about waiting 3 hours at some checkpoint.
When israel was then attacked, they took the whole of jerusalem city and people could go to the temple for the first time of their lives.
I am not religion oriented, but for jews, there is only one holy site: the temple wall. They cannot just give it away and be denied access ever after.
I find it funny that muslims are claiming so many holy sites and cities all over middle east and persia.
Why did they build the al-aqsa mosque right above the temple site? Why did talibans blast an historic buddha in afghanistan?
Why do they wish to deny access to al-aqsa to non-muslims?
That does not seem very fair, and shows lots of intransigeance.
Israel gave back the Sinai (a huge territory compared to israel) to Egypt, and more recently Taba (where an hotel was bombed even more recently). What other country gave back territory seized in in battle from its attacker?
They made quite a few concessions already, to no avail.
Israelis are weary to give away more territory because it may represent just one more step to being pushed out to the mediterranean.
Palestinians may be victims of the all-or-nothing attitude of their rulers.
Petrol is an energy source. Do you know of anything else that will spring by itself from the ground and can readily burn and therefore produce energy?
That is dense and liquid hence easily stored and moved around?
Hydrogen has to be produced by spending energy. It is a secondary source, which is only good for relegating pollution to uninhabited/poor/no-one-cares areas.
I'm no addict to FPS. The only game that matters to me is X-Plane, and it exists on Mac.
Hell, it was developed on a mac. The author seems to claim easier, faster development on Mac.
Crippling:
I have an ibook and a powerbook, and a big flat-screen TV.
I cannot play it at an adequate resolution on the big screen using the ibook because apple decided to disabled screen spanning. The display is limited to mirroring, where I don't use the LCD's available resolution, a crying shame.
I don't think any PC maker would deliberately cripple their hardware...
Also, PCI graphic cards for powermac are notoriously more expensive than their x386 equivalent. Why is that? Is there a technical reason I cannot move my graphic card from a PC to a Mac and vice versa?
These limitations hamper the development of an ecosystem where PCs and Macs can compete head to head.
This ecosystem existed on the apple2 and the PC and made their success.

Everybody knows myopia cannot be cured either, since "it's in the genes"!.

Moshe Bar is happily married with kids.
One can always dream about the possibilities though...

I am considering various cm's for a project.
Arch and Monotone have been mentioned. I also came across OpenCM, which seems to have merit too.
Is it that openCM is little-known, or because of some impediment in the software? Or lack of track record for a newly developped cm?
Yeah, like cows see in stereo, snakes hear in stereo, and dolphins have the eyes above the nose.
On the other hand, bilateral symmetry seems handy if you are to move in some non-vacuum.

Not quite true; Australia is one of the most urbanized 1st world countries.
>95% of the population live in the major cities.
Which is also why they are offering wireless internet (http://www.unwired.com.au/ , http://www.iburst.com.au/ )
during or between menstruation?

>The Voyagers had a similar problem with their thermonuclear batteries;
these are nuclear = fission, and not thermonuclear = fusion.
1) oil is not $60/barrel
2) Ever heard about compounding?
FYI, a 10% interest for 30 multiplies your initial investment (or price) by 17.
We are very far from this figure. Subtract inflation, and you'll see that oil is very cheap.
Is pirating a loss of revenue? I doubt pirates would buy movies if they couldn't dowload them.
I have downloaded some old, foreign movies that have not been available on DVD nor tape for 30 years. Now am I breaking the law?
OT rant: DVD regions is robbery on their customers.

Nothing else cuts it the way petrol does...
No wonder countries will fight for its control.
But then what are we gonna do with the created helium?
That's lots of balloons for sure
Does this all mean that before jesus came, everybody went straight to hell after death?
Just curious
