Will they dispense other kinds of bullion other than 35?

Gold bullion would be coins made of gold. Therefor, 35 bullion machines would be 35 machines that dispense coins minted from precious metals.
Why don't we ever hear about any of these?
So... why doesn't Microsoft do this?
I just keep hearing how "evil" Google is becoming... but they do stuff like this when nobody else seems to. These types of projects are the kinds of things an idealistic socialist government would do... yet here's a capitalist organisation doing them.
Does Apple or Microsoft do stuff like this? How about Oracle? If they don't why not?
am glad that thing is extinct.
'if online shopping replaces 3.5 traditional shopping trips, or if 25 orders are delivered at the same time, or, if the distance traveled to where the purchase is made is more than 50 kilometers.
The way my wife shops I think we completely exceed at least two of those criteria on each trip.
Ironically, the "Shop Savvy" Android app means we now head out find an item, find it cheaper online then put it in a "buy queue" for later meaning we still drove but didn't buy.
I shall reconsider our shopping habits.
This is why we need trench digging and maintaining nano-bots.

Interesting point. There might be such a thing as too small and too thin. Hard to believe we've already gotten there.
There's something to be said for just going home, getting some sleep, and taking a fresh look in the morning.
And yet this attitude won't get you promoted.
I've had the same experience. It is far more valuable to exercise, eat right, go to sleep on time, etc. You spend less time creating WTF in your code. The net effect is a single delivery may take longer but the whole system has lower WTF count and thusly comes together faster, better, stronger.
"Programming requires long nights staring blankly at mind-muddling objective languages."
Actually, no, it doesn't. I have never done this and never will. And yet I'm gainfully imployed as a programmer and my bosses (including the owners of the company) constantly tell me they value my contributions to the company.
Okay. I'm doing something wrong. Where the hell do you work and how can I get a job there?
Don't bother me with details. I have an inciteful story to not read and make wild assumptions about!
Exactly. I would have said "insightful" otherwise. Slashdot often rewards inciteful over insightful.
