You're attitude seems to be to tell them to 'pull themselves together'. Companies advertise because it works on humans. We're not machines and don't have unlimited amounts of willpower.

I'm taking this as a very tenous opportunity to quote a scene from The Simpsons where the country bumpkin character says: "I only speak good ol' american, if it's good enough for Jesus it's good enough for me"

I'm not American but I thought Berkeley was prestigious and yet this graduate's job is to cold call restaurants touting coupons. No wonder Andy's mad!

I think that it's in the 'The Gulag Archipelago' where Solzhenitsyn says that by contrast with the NKVD/KGB, the gestapo look like gentlemen.

Off Topic(sorry): there was a thread here a few months ago about a simple webpage with just html and words. It inspired a whole raft of me-too jokey threads. I'm trying to find it but can't. Does anyone have a link please?

I saw a short news report (over a decade ago) about a Swiss heroin addict who daily attended a clinic to be given heroin (not methadone) for free (the cost of legally available heroin would be minimal). She was able to hold down a job, pay

Charging quickly would be great, but having to do so frequently would be a pain. You need access to a powerpoint, what if you are on a day trip? Wherever people lay their head at night they'll almost always have access to a power socke

I was tempted to mention it. But what I am writing is hearsay until such time as this doctor goes public with it, if he ever does that. If it's true it would cause a major controversy in the EU.

In agricultural terminology you can either pay people 'by the day' or pay them 'by the hundred yards'. I have worked in both types of systems and can see merits and pitfalls in both. In the former system there can woeful

I don't think that's fair really. If a military junta in Egypt suits the West as you suggest then so would Assad in Syria. I think the west's motivations are complicated but certainly do contain an element of desire to help o
