A mercenary satellite is a wild concept. It raises an number of ethical questions. It also feels like another step down the path toward a cyberpunk dystopia. I'll add it to the list with robotic policing and subscription based airbags.

Colleges often make deals with local businesses. If you look around you may find that the student council, or student affairs, or somebody can hook you up with cheap movie tickets, coupons for pizza, etc. At the college I attended I found t

Back in the 90's I remember my family got a new Compaq (I think) PC. On it it came preloaded with this great dos tutorial that was essentially a fake terminal that would walk the user through DOS commands letting them try various thing

What I realized years ago is that the upvote on Stack Overflow don't mean "I tried this and it works for me" or "I'm an expert and this is the answer". No, the upvotes on Stack Overflow are along the line of th

I too was unable to convince my family but based on your comment I just thought of a new (to me) example I might have tried. It leverages the grasp of fractions that you mentioned people already have. Everyone knows that 1/3 = .333...

I love the minimalist approach. It would be nice if there was a sound effect when a player is defeated. Not as an aesthetic thing but as a way to keep track of the match without having to constantly check the scoreboard. Also, the screen yo

If this is true then it's a real bummer. Jailbreaking tends to pave the way for a lot of bad things. Rampant piracy and multiplayer cheating will totally bork the playstation ecosystem. Edit: I dug into this a little bit and it doesn&#

Trident missiles (a type of ICBM currently being carried aboard US submarines) do just that. Once launched a Trident, using a camera, gets a fix on a single specific star. It then uses the data on that star's position to correct for an
