  1. Seems to work for Restaurants on Pay What You Want — a Sustainable Business Model? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In Vienna we have a pakistani Restaurant called the "Deewam", which is basically "eat as much as you want - pay as much as you want". Seems to work, it's well-frequented (mostly by students for obvious reasons) and it's been there for quite a few years. Maybe it's because you have to pay an actual person and look him/her in the eye. As most people don't want to look like assholes, they pay adequate prices.

  2. Re:Insulting? on Mozilla Bumps Security Bug Bounty To $3,000 · · Score: 1

    Similarly, google pays $1337 for particularly severe or particularly clever bugs.

  3. Re:escalators too on Should Cities Install Moving Sidewalks? · · Score: 1

    In Japan they have a cool solution: the escalator ends up having two lines. The people on the left keep walking, and those on the right stand. I guess for that to become a custom you'd need escalators that are typically crowded, which most in the US are not.

    This solution is pretty much standard everywhere (at least everywhere I've been, which is mostly europe and some africa/asia), I'm really surprised you guys in the US don't do it this way...

  4. Re:3D In Strategy Games on An Early Look At Civilization V · · Score: 1

    If you are serious about HoMM 3, I'm sure I won't need to tell you about WoG In case you don't know it, it's an awesome Mod for HoMM that adds tons of new Gameplay features as well as quite a few new buildings, creatures etc. Oh and btw: Check out VCMI as well. It's an (not quite finished) open source rewrite of the HoMM 3 engine which promises things like proper mod support, high resolution support, simultaneous turns for LAN Games and much more

  5. Yet another dissapointment from the TPB guys... on Pirate Bay's Anonymity Service Enters Beta Testing · · Score: 1

    Turns out this is just a repainted version of Relakks... (see http://www.golem.de/0907/68539.html (german))

  6. Re:And yet.. on Palm Kills Community Before It Begins · · Score: 1

    Actually, it does have Exchange ActiveSync if you use a modded image...

  7. Re:So? on Ballmer Ordered To Testify In 'Vista Capable' Case · · Score: 1

    I can't use the floppy disk capabilities without a floppy drive.

    Yeah, but microsoft doesn't advertise vista with pretty pictures of floppy disk capabilities..
