Comment Seems to work for Restaurants (Score 2, Interesting) 133

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.

Comment Re:escalators too (Score 1) 698

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...

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
