Comment Re:nothing of any us to us on moon (Score 1) 365

Who cares about the fucking moon, it's a huge fucking desolate wasteland. Save for boots on the ground there no one is going to claim all of it. By the time someone starts an industrial plant up there you'll have all other aspiring world power nations shitting their pants and pouring billions into competing projects so you'll be lucky if you claim a crater or two for yourself.

In the end it will be economical trade anyway. Someone will be sitting on surplus steel and someone will not bother to send a fucking smelting plant for 25 billion to the moon.

And by your logic we should keep chasing those feel-good zero-impact idiot ideas that makes things slightly inconventient for us so that we feel we're doing something, while totally ignoring the big issues.

Make an automatic answering machine that gives the impression of listening. If no one is talking on the other end It should randomly pick a very diffuse question like "i'm confused about this whole deal?" and "i'm still not sure what you want" and "are you really sure you have the right person" and so on.

After picking 10 random of these it says "bye" and hangs up.

It's also a way to potentially slow down bug solving. You write the patch and just before you hit submit, you realize "Oh wait, I could get paid for this" so you create a $1 bribe for said bug, wait until it have some dollars more, then submit and cash out.

It might even lead to more bugs appearing in the software. If there's some 1000 bugs you know because you added some willfully sloppy code, there's obviously money to be made.

Want more features? Well think of it like DLC. Oh they're ready all right but I'm waiting for the bribe request.
