Comment Musk is available now, right? (Score 1) 42

Imagine: Musk takes over, merges/privatizes NASA with SpaceX.
During the process he defines himself as a founder of NASA.

Result: Musk invented space travel.

I'm surprised What's-his-face isn't throwing rumors of picking Musk out on social media just for the fun of it.

Comment Build the wall (and Santa will pay for it)! (Score 1) 57

Sounds like someone wants to get rich on trillions in R&D trying to build a wall before the project fails spectacularly.

Wouldn't it be easier to just refreeze the glaciers?

I know....

Quick! Everyone buy a couple bags of ice and meet up at the nearest glacier. BYOB!

You still have cashiers? Oooo, Fancy!

I have to do that myself now, cash myself out and then bag it up in bags that I brought from home--all while Skynet monitors me from overhead. The only humans are restocking shelves or there to do an override when when I scan my beer.

I, however, welcome our future robot overlords....

Comment This will bring in more money (Score 1) 206

Sounds like this is a great idea--for the cash register/scanner people.

Are they really going to have all this info in the database? Or mostly left blank.

A lot of items in Amazon or eBay seem to be generic or left blank.

This will probably be a mostly empty database, unless it is auto-populated by scripts which will just lead to generic listings.

It's a nice dream, but it's just one more thing for the underpaid grunts to skip over to keep their quotas up.
