   You're right. But since the feedback to their survey was so positive, I was really expecting it.

   I'm always saying that but my family and friends treat me as if I am crazy! People are so used to their cars they can't even imagine an alternative system.

   I don't really know but I work for an investment bank so maybe it's just paranoia on IT's side.

    Exactly. Nothing against firms trying to optimize their fiscal plan but if you have to pay then shut up and pay it up.

    There's nothing done yet. I just saw the videos posted in this thread, it reminded me of my father and I asked if this is something people would like to see. If anything gets done it'll be thanks to my brother since I live and wor

    You're correct. I meant he rebuilt it using materials as close as possible to the original: granite, oak, quicklime, etc.

    No client ever requested that to my father. Probably because there are so many cheap abandoned old houses (from 14th to 19th century) that it doesn't make much sense to built a brand new one.

    My father rebuilt a 16th century house by himself on Saturdays. He used electricity and the house has modern features such as piped water and internet but no modern materials were used (concrete, aluminium, steel, etc.), only "old&quot

    Rent is Lisbon is getting very expensive and salaries don't closely follow that trend. However, the article is right about many corporations coming here to setup global shared services for operations and support desks.

    Would it help to catapult the cargo at high altitude where the air is rarefied? That way you have to deal with less atmosphere and the initial energy required for the catapult is smaller. Idk where, maybe the Andes?
