The problem with high temperature operation of combustion engines is that you generate lots of NOx, which you don't want unless you like smog. If you can carry out the reaction at high temperatures and prevent oxidation of nitrogen, then you've got a significant improvement.

Individually, Google's projects are mostly very interesting. But they don't work together. I have to set pictures separately for Picasa Web Albums, and a google profile, for example. Some settings must be configured in each project, while others are common across all of them, but it's hard to know which is which, and indeed where to find out where to make changes.

Before trying to go for something as ambitious as rivalling Facebook, they should improve integration and consistency between their projects. Not saying that it is too ambitious - if anyone has the skills to do it, Google has.

I've taken a look and I've realised that I got my replies mixed up a bit :-) There is still some regulation on EU-8 workers in Switzerland for the next 16 months.

The Swiss government has got a large document available explaining the rules.

You can't just appear in country X one day and start the next, but you can move anywhere without needing permission.

The local government can only insist that you get the same paperwork as a local person. Obviously this doesn't apply equally to the new EU countries such as Romania.

I'm British and my parents moved to Spain three years ago so I know their experience. They had to get a residence permit and an social security number, but they couldn't be refused them.

Wrong.

The bilateral agreement on the free movement of persons between Switzerland and the EU entered into force on 1 June 2002 and facilitates entry, residence and employment in Switzerland for EU-nationals as well as citizens from Norway, Iceland (EFTA members) and - conditionally - Liechtenstein.

EU-citizens have complete freedom of movement within Switzerland and Swiss citizens within EU-countries. Since the 12th of December 2008 the Swiss Confederation is a full member of Shengen.
