I don't have any specific requests yet, but ground navigation is sometimes an issue. SC seems to be missing a coordinate system of any sort, even though there are transmitting landmarks on virtually every planet or moon. Doesn't make a ton of sense that humans wouldn't have developed a...

I don't know why I didn't say this before. It just fell out of my head I guess: I still recommend renting space on a host somewhere. But if your solution requires you to do local development, there is a solution I've used quite a lot for various tasks like local backup, extra storage...

Welcome to TEST!

That's too cool but the price is lower than the ballpark I expected for this by a wide margin.

@Sirus7264 is right, it's true. I can also confirm there is a very large amount of misinformation that has been published by some companies over the past 4 or 5 years, just adding to everyone's confusion. What is hitting trade shows right now is real, but prototypes... not products...

Hey, that is actually a thing. Just ask the Canadian Navy. EDIT: I should add it was not an intentional design feature.

I don't think there's no use for NoSql for accounting, I just don't think financial transactions are served by it. But if you're gathering data on your customers or suppliers for example, sometimes that data doesn't fit nicely in a SQL table structure. It really helps to have options. In...

That's good... you're in the UK, the folks in Eastern Canada probably didn't put enough postage on the weather to send it to you... because it stuck to their shoreline. again.

Heh. We got a bit of rain earlier but temperature outside is just around a comfortable 20C (68F for my neighbors) between Houston and Galveston.

This is a complex topic ... Latency is certainly an issue, and for gaming a big issue - but latency of less than 100ms is not normally detectable, because the human brain processes data much slower than the speed of light and stuff. In a real time application like a game, we might have 100ms...

The idea I had bore fruit. I don't know quite how to explain it or explain what my interest in it is. But if you're interested in that kind of thing, read: VR: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_reality AR: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented_reality MR...

Oh snap. @Shadow Reaper and @marcsand2 just gave me an idea... totally not related to SC. Thank you, I'll explain but not this second.

I think it's actually the way to fly. If you have to see the controls, you're looking at your hands, that is not where your eyes should be pointing.

Music to my ears!!!

Welcome to TEST!

There are some technical and legal caveats to use this for the front windscreen on the family car, but the tech to do this has existed for a while now, complete with night vision. In the family car, this technology is going to be stepped over entirely by AI and driverless vehicles. While you...

Oh no! There's a better one coming?! My life is worthless if my wife finds out!

I don't know. I'm wiping the drool off my shirt, so i'll go with @marcsand2's math. I may take a serious look at the Samsung 49" computer monitor in a few months. It's the largest thing that would fit on my desk, "and I need a lot of screen real-estate" (*) for work. (* That kind of worked...

A 180 degree turn... is actually possible. G-force is a concern no matter how close you are to the center of a turn. That's what dizzy is. Just the couple of millimeters from a turn's center you are still subject to bigger than enough G forces to cause a reaction. BUT! You know, after...
