Not so daft. You can pretty much bank on it making 4-500Kpa, and most of that will be from Unilever products, so it's a sound investment, even over the mid term.

What is absolutely priceless is the guys who are doing it. They've built up a ginormous rep, so the attitude Unilever has to take is "Here's your money, now we'll go away and let you just get on with doing what you do so well".

Yeah, right.

So a company thats business model was to sell products for significantly less than was charged by giant consumer good conglomerates was just bought by a giant consumer good conglomerate. Gee I wonder how they're going to go from the red to the black within a year. Confused | :confused:

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Is a chocolate that likes to be whipped an S&M&M?

Is Mr Robot worth watching?

A kid at one of the many schools I attended was named Trevor Minz.

I watched the news from the area for years, waiting to read of horrifying axe incidents.

Hi All,

I have seen that Mr Robot is coming to a TV channel near me soon! Is it worth watching or is another attempt to do high tech that falls on it's face (cue "It's a UNIX system" from Jurrasic Park!)?

I saw the first episode on Amazon Prime (they have S1 and S2 for free already) and it wasn't too bad - i bit weak on the "real world" computing stuff, but better than Jurassic Park was. It looks like the growing story could be quite good so far. He has weird eyes though...

Is it good? Dunno yet - we'll watch a few more episodes before deciding, but the IMDB[^] score of 8.8 / 152,575 is pretty impressive!

I have watched the first and second chapters in my last intercontinental flight... my impression...

The story can entertain you quite fine. The personality of the carachter is interesting (a bit weird but still interesting), about the background long term story I can't say much, only 2 chapters so far.

If you don't pay so much attention to the technical side... then you won't get pissed off or disappointed or things like that, at the end... is just a "film" and as such, you will always find misleading / wrong technical background as in every other production for cinema / tv (very few are good researched / accurate)

I don't know you... but I will give a try to the rest of the chapters.

The personality is a little odd, yes - but his eyes are just plain difficult to look at! Laugh | :laugh:
