Actually, in the beginning, they will probably have real taxi drivers behind the wheel . . . just in case the system goes entirely tits up, and they need to get the passenger to the destination.
But, gee Wally, won't this be like IT workers training their H1B and offshore replacements? The soon-to-be-unemployed taxi drivers babysit their replacements . . . ?
Once again, those poor stupid incompetent minorities are rescued from having to better themselves in any conceivable way, thanks to us heroic progressives who are always around to babysit and control them for their own good.
Amazon has just hired a specialist to handle deliveries to difficult areas.
Hey, we're talking about the UAE here . . . unfeasible expensive building projects don't need to make sense . . . in the "Talking Heads" sense of the phrase.
The answer to the material question is really quite simple, actually. Just use trash. Make the mountain an above ground landfill. The world is awash in trash, that nobody wants . . . hell, the rest of the world will pay the UAE to stash their trash in an environmentally friendly climate changing mountain in the UAE.
Old cars, useless electronic gadgets . . . bring it on, and pile it up! The baking hot sun will fry it enough so that it won't stink.
Hard to say. Nuclear war doesn't necessarily mean "extinction".
"I would not rule out the chance to preserve a nucleus of human specimens. It would be quite easy... heh heh . . . at the bottom of ah... some of our deeper mineshafts. The radioactivity would never penetrate a mine some thousands of feet deep."

Bernie sits in the front row of the church, where a Hillary rally is being held . . . and he lets rip a gargantuan fart on the pew during the silent prayer. When Hillary is doing a champagne drink and shindig, Bernie is throwing a Molotov cocktail into the party.
Bernie will be buh-bye at the end of this campaign. But the interesting question, is if someone will pick up his flag for a younger generation of Democratic voters . . . ?
Oh, that's just grand. I would blame the governments, who through their spying actions wake up folks and make them aware that they now need encryption. Otherwise, some government jerk will be reading their email . . . with the intention of stalking.
Oh, can the government maybe blame Global Warming and the Zika Virus on Snowden, as well . . . ?
Nah, send John Kerry to talk at them, they'll never forgive us.
Don't dis John Kerry . . . he has been conspicuously absent from the mud-slinging Presidential shindig . . . which means that he will probably be Hillary's choice for a running mate.
I read two English English periodicals, to try to keep up to date on the English English language and culture. This as opposed to the American English language and culture.
One is titled, "The Economist", and the other one is titled, "Viz". The two of them together cover a wide spectrum of all that is English, from the high-brow, to the low-brow.
Stephen Fry falls into the realm of "Viz". English English has some very subtle nuances, so I have a question for the English English/.'ers:
Is Stephen Fry a "Daft Twat", or is he more of a "Right Cunt" . . . ?
The young. Well, maybe except that kid he married.
Well, if he is a BBC presenter . . . expressing an interest in children seems to fit the mold . . .
I'm guessing that they will be the guest passengers of honor on the next missile launch . . .
An interesting side note . . . I watched a documentary about the early years of the Soviet Union's space program. After a launch test exploded, the general in charge asked one of the chief designers, I believe it was Sergey Korolev, "Who was responsible for this failure!" In other words, who should be sent to Siberia. Korolev stood behind his engineers, and answered, "I am responsible."
We could use a few more engineering executive like that these days.

His name is Aaron Hernandez.
How about dropping millennials from helicopters? They seem to be the root of the robot unemployment problem.
Or maybe the millennials could learn to perform work that can't be done by robots . . . ?
22 male brown skin, 31 female red hair, and 2 sets of twins. i expect hourly updates.
Ah, so this is that "Lab Grown Meat" we were discussing recently.
I like mine lean . . . just the arms and "wings", you can keep the rest.
Oh, wait, please thrown in a brain for my pet Zombie.
It doesn't rain in Dubai.
It might . . . all they need to do, is build a giant mountain there . . . or maybe a giant badger . . . oh, never mind . . .
. . . which direction does Martian water flow when you flush the toilet . . . clockwise, or counterclockwise . . . ?
How does water flowing on Mars affect my life or anyone else's in a meaningful way?
This could affect your life if you are flying to Jupiter, and stop to take a dump on Mars.

Bernie's not a grassroots Democratic candidate.

The nominating process is defined by the Party. A Private entity.
Yep. That worked really well for the former East Germany . . . "the Party" took a country full of Germans, and turned it into a poor nation.
That is absolutely amazing.

They will wait a long time . . .
"A Majority Of Capitalists Now Reject Millennials , Poll Shows"
The MUNSTERS!
Now THAT's funny!
Actually, whenever Hillary Clinton goes off on a rant . . . she sounds to me like Granny Clamplett from the "Beverly Hillbillies".
In all fairness, can someone find a republican candidate, who is similar to a character from "Bewitched"?
Nah, send John Kerry to talk at them, they'll never forgive us.
Don't dis John Kerry . . . he has been conspicuously absent from the mud-slinging Presidential shindig . . . which means that he will probably be Hillary's choice for a running mate.

If it walks like a pork, talks like a pork, and tastes like pork barbecued pork . . . well . . . this bill looks like pork to me.
The only question remains for the folks from North Carolina and Texas . . . who has the best barbecue . . . ?
A question that is guaranteed to be more interesting than Live Full Nude Sex Show Mud-wrestling . . . or an Emacs vs. Vi debate . . .

Don't worry! These layoffs will be replaced with plenty of new jobs for H1B folks!
So I guess it will all work out for the best . . . in the end . . .
. . . maybe . . .
aw, c'mon, man! VW blew it all over.
But they didn't inhale, in the Clinton sense of the word . . .
VW executives commented at the beginning of the scandal, that it was "just a couple of rogue programmers."
Bull-fucking-shit man! In a big German auto company, they have a quality assurance organization, that reports right up to the top.
If so-called "Rogue Programmers" were doing the dirty work, someone on the executive staff knew what was going on.
VW's motto used to be "Fahrvergnügen" . . . now it is "Fehlerbehebungsmassnahmen".
"What?"
"Who?"
"Dave's not here, man!"

Zippy the Pinhead will be amused.

Are we having fun yet?
Taco sauce on Ding-Dongs . . . yummy!
Heck, we know more people die every year:

- from peanut allergies

Shame on you, California, for you dishing up this monstrosity upon the world!

There are /.ers who consider RTFA to be a "moral evil".
Sometimes, it seems to me that folks don't even bother to read the summary . . . or even read the post that they are responding to.
