I always wondered if you could “fake” the cash effect for a credit transaction. Next to the credit card reader have a little display visually“showing” you the money spent with images of bills and coins. Quick simple animation of the bills and coins counting up when transaction goes through.

The darker stuff is exhaust from the gas-generator. This engine uses a gas-generator cycle. The two propellants (Liquid Oxigine + RP-1, Rocket Grade Kerosene) need to be fed into main combustion chamber at very high pressures. These high pressures are achieved through the use of a turbo pump + gas-generator.

Interesting, I am a long time RDM BSG fan, but didn’t realize until reading this article that the Cylons were created by aliens in the original series.
I think I like the “destroyed by our own creation” hubris dynamic in the re-imagined series is better. I hope that if a reboot does happen, it has humans be the…

I woke up trying to gasp for breath but the air didn’t come. My lungs didn’t respond. Something was wrong. Nothing responded the way it should have. Numbness and pain coursed through my body. I reached for where my mouth should have been and the sound of metal against metal snapped me to my senses. Boot cycle 256 had…

Mmm, cultured meat cake. THAT sounds delicious.

An easy-to-read resume that clearly leads the reviewer to important and relevant information will be favored to one that doesn't. Good resume design is required for that, just as much as content.

My dad taught me a cool trick for getting the right tool size for a srew/bolt, when your tools are not readily available or the bolt is in a hard to reach spot. If you press your fingertip/palm against the head of the screw/bolt, it will leave an impression in your skin that lasts for quite some time. You can then go…

Gaius Baltar?

Random deep thought. If we are capable of creating an exact simulation (functionally) of an organism, does that simulation constitute as a form of life? If yes, what are the implications? If no, what is the fundamental difference that makes the "simulation" not life and at what point, if any, WOULD it be considered a…
