    It's meaningless for YOU, but once you know, you could tell OTHER PEOPLE, and that might influence their decision to use that company's services. This might affect that company's bottom line.

    That's fine if they're delivering T-Shirts, but once they start delivering bowling balls, you have a WAR on your hands.

    You better also add "pointless".

    Couldn't they also just slap a smartphone camera on their satellite as well? It only weighs a fraction of an ounce.

  8. The computer is Happy. The Computer is crazy. The computer wants you to be happy. This makes you crazy!

  9. Apple employees don't eat beef wellington! It's probably just Kale and Yogurt.

  10. In the movie "The silence of the lambs", when the FBI received the address of where they thought Buffalo Bill was hiding, they sent an undercover agent disguised as a florist delivering some roses to the door. Agents nearby watched closely for someone to open the door. Spoiler alert - It's been nearly 30 years. If you haven't seen it by now, it's your own fault: The FBI had the wrong address, but the florist didn't kill the homeowner.

    Maybe they meant "Jewel Staite", and just didn't know how to spell her name right.

  13. "no bills larger than $20"? They are just opening themselves to me paying for my $100 grocery bill in pennies. Don't think I won't do it...

    Because millions of people keep their money there.

  17. What makes you think that bees understand decimal? Humans have 10 digits on their hands and feet, so decimal was pretty obvious. Bees would probably use base 6.

    Google better give it a name soon. It's very awkward to call it "Android Pee".

    While we're at it, can we find a decent replacement to the single-use dental floss applicator? I see those things in the gutter and on the street. I often wonder how they got there. Who is flossing their teeth at a bus stop, and why can't they just use their fingers and a roll of floss like everyone else?

    In "A New Hope - Special Edition", we see the missing scene where Han Solo confronts Jabba the Hut in docking bay 94. Jabba is now a CGI worm instead of a fat guy in a shaggy vest, but the rest of the actors are still there. That scene ends on Boba Fett turning to the camera.
