I just applied. They said I wasn't cut out for it. But...but...my dreams have been crushed. Pull yourselves out of your emotional apathy and give me cyberhugs (or at least a pat on the head for effort) :cry:

I even wrote a cover letter and everything, but they rejected me! I didn't even get an interview!

I told you to use manilla paper. I told you! Maybe now you will know to listen to me in the future.

No, I used cotton paper, which is vastly superior. Virgle just doesn't know good paper when they see it. I should as them to reimburse me for it, since they just wasted it.

The thing is likely to favor robotics without human needs. Humans are just a show piece and there is little reason for them to be there. The obvious question is finance, such an operation is likely to be beyond the budgets of even these guys.

I wonder about the legality of the operation. Introducing new organisms to Mars for terraforming before proper study has been made could be destructive, invoking the wrath of the little green men. There is bound to be a "keep mars pure group" someplace.

For now, I see an internet stunt rather than a serious private sector project. Anyone got the costs on the Mars rover?, that was just one robot.

Eh...it's okay. What weight? Was it cream-colored?

Pigs would never have learned to fly if it was left up to you. So pessimistic.

That's why Google is going to start charging you 1/10th of a cent each time a web page is viewed. Technically since Google has every web page cached, they would own every web page that is cached.

I mean seriously, how much would they make after one hour of teenagers refreshing their MySpace pages?

You submitted it on paper? No wonder they rejected it. They are more interested in electronic stuff that they can easily scan into their database of everything. Should have made a well formatted PDF with graphics.

But I thought it would make it stand out! Everything is electronic these days, so nothing is more impressive than good old paper!

Thats the problem! Paper is an incompatible format with Google. You probably caused several of their servers to burst into flames and mass hysteria when their googlebots tried to index you.

They need to advertise better. It's their fault I didn't get the job!

I'm sure they are feeling the loss. :rolleyes:

I must be very obvious with you, or you will not get it. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
