Dig deep enough, and it's obvious all the projects are for Office and Visual Studio plugins, Windows applications, OData libraries, or ASP.NET frameworks.
I've heard this way too many times: "We've got a world class idea! Now we need to go round up some propeller-heads, ahem, I mean developers, to make it happen." Ideas in your head are worth squat. Ideas on paper are worth marginally little more unless you put some effort into figuring out answers for the mandatory engineering design questions. Ideas in code are worth quite a bit, but only if the code actually works or is very, very close to working.

Microsoft has a Sudan Peoples Liberation Army licensing program for the Department of Aging and Adult Services? I had no clue!
CLRS Algorithms, Aho et al Compilers, Patternson and Hennesy Computer Organization and Design, and Tennenbaum's Modern Operating Systems are the gems of the collection and will always be extremely valuable even as old and out of print editions.
I'm long out of college, and the books that remain on my shelf instead of the ones I resold are the ones that are still worth $100 to me. You can be a cheapskate, but there's a cost of entry if you want to play the game. People griping about paying too much for books are the ones that will gripe later about having to pay all this money for computer upgrades because didn't we just buy new computers for everyone 5 years ago? Penny wise and pound foolish.
Exactly. This is your cue to find a new school, preferably one that cultivates the appreciation of building a professional library in their students. Some of my $100+ textbooks are still $100+ on Amazon, and they're still worth their weight in gold. Some could be mistaken for gold bullion based on their weight, too.
The 1980s called to remind you that there's a reason software costs money. You weren't planning on writing your own firmware for the device and software for the host PC driving the thing, were you?
Facial recognition is painfully insecure and can be easily broken with a portrait photograph of the person you're trying to impersonate. It's security theater for the kool-aid drinkers.
It's a different in regulations requiring additional flight system equipment and verification testing. RC aircraft are only permitted a flight ceiling below 400 ft and the operator must maintain visual line of sight with the craft at all times. Unmanned aircraft are allowed a much higher flight ceiling, but they must follow all FAA rules and guidelines regarding traffic control as other manned aircraft. However, the FAA is not yet allowing drones to operate in the same airspace with manned traffic and must have a specially defined flight zone that their operations are limited to. That will change come 2015 when the FAA has said that they will allow a mix of manned and unmanned aircraft traffic with priority status going to the manned systems. Also, unmanned aircraft must have the full suite of required avionics instruments, must pass rigorous series of flight tests, and must have the same passive radar detection and flight radio transponder required for manned aircraft.
Are you trying to use wikipedia as a source? Do you have specific articles that you're citing instead of just firing off some back handed, flippant comment that I should go read something to educate myself without bothering to tell me what specific article I should read to cleanse myself of this profane ignorance. What are these other issues you speak of? How are they addressed? Please, show me your empirical evidence so I may evaluate your results using the scientific method. Do these ethereal wikipedia articles tell me what the issues are and how they're addressed? Please, oh-great-oracle of wisdom and truth, enlighten us poor, ignorant masses with the pearls of wisdom that drop from your lips.
My problem was more along the lines of not having the RCS thrusters placed well, and it took a few tries to figure that out. I was fine using the clusters for adjusting attitude for a while, but changing position relative to the other craft didn't work well until I fixed the design flaw.
Eh, I can give or take the lambdas. Just give me a halfway decent switch-case statement so I don't have to write huge, rolling if-elif-elif-elif-elif-elif-else-finally blobs. Using built in language reflection to parse a parameter into a function name you call later isn't an answer and has led to many, many python scripts crapping out on me when you actually want to use string data containing '-' or other strange, exotic ASCII characters in them as your key into the switch statement.
Yes, that is the case with C++. Take your header file and move the method or member under a public: header. You can play with private and protected interfaces all day long if you want to. You're probably going to break something, but public/protected/private is only checked and enforced at compile time. It causes no changes whatsoever to the binary objects that get output from the system. To actually get it to enforce at a binary level would require updates to the linker object format.
While the article mentions formation flying, which is important, I imagine that the real world application of the magnetic repulsion/attraction tech is going to be more useful for docking together large spacecraft assemblies in orbit. It would have made it much easier to link up the ISS that way.
I was ecstatic the first time I pulled off a successful Apollo-style moon landing and return home mission, but it took nearly 4 hours realtime for the rocket design and flight. Flying places isn't too bad, but docking is the most god awful difficult part of any game I've ever played. I've thought about doing gameplay videos, but I would need to brush up on my video editing to cut it for time and add voice overs. My typical gaming session has too many uttered profanities to leave the mic open for a youtube video.
Software is on the list of stuff you don't want to watch being made along with sausages and laws. Seriously, it can be boring, exhausting, and tedious, and having hordes of outsiders playing armchair project manager only interrupts the process. It's a different story if you're working on a free software community project in an open forum, but even that needs an assigned project manager to field the input from people not in the inner circle.
You're not the NASCAR pace car. You are not entitled to the authority of policing the speeds of other drivers. Blocking the left lane for faster traffic is a misdemeanor moving violation in nearly all US municipalities regardless to the oncoming driver's speed.
tl;dr; You don't get to police the roads unless you've legally got blue strobe lights on your car.
No, you don't. You just need a paragraph in your statement of work specifying that defects are prioritized by severity according to their impact of the operation of the system. You can describe how you assign priorities, and then you're done. Government contract disclosure requirements are met, and you didn't have to contract an armchair pontificator (ie, most PhDs) to write a thesis for you. Of course, since you can bill all of those hours back to the client, it's really profitable to charge extra for an overhead task that does absolutely nothing to move a project forward.
You should read Mark Twain's The McWilliamses and The Burglar Alarm. Your suggestion is peddling an overly complex burglar alarm that will take more time and effort and resources than just fixing the bugs as they come in.
Thank you for your feedback. I was actually hoping to hear someone with specific experience with these techniques share their impression of the technique.
Can you expand on your experience with this technique? How did it work in your late wife's case? What was the latency of the communication like due to the obvious bandwidth constraints of this particular medium?

Nailed it in one. Quack science is for quacks, and no amount of explaining why it's quackery will convince them otherwise.

Should have got this in the first post...

I don't care and neither should the average consumer. The people that do care are the marketing shills with pockets freshly stuffed with MS cash.
Do you have a win7 64 bit driver from 20 years ago?
That depends. Were you able to deliver on time with your method?
No, you don't. You just need a paragraph in your statement of work specifying that defects are prioritized by severity according to their impact of the operation of the system.
