Should be easy enough to get the Scorpion team to tether the satellite using a very long CAT5 cable as it is going past.
@Anonynous coward: "If we (the human species) were able lay telegraph cables to span oceans in the 19th century, I'm sure we can lay a fiber optic cable over the ground to the North. Difficulty: there's not a lot of white people up there.
"most Pennsylvania counties use particularly high-risk electronic voting machines that leave behind zero paper trails, which could be useful to audit the integrity of votes cast."
Why not use the same machines as state lotteries. They're reliable and secure and produce a fully audited paper trail.
Microsoft tweaks the OS to give the impression Edge uses the battery more efficiently and this gets translated into industry-leading efficiency? A better test would be to compare browsers on another Operating System.

The old fashioned method was airbags used to be triggered by a magnetic ball embedded in a 'cup' that on the application of severe deceleration, the ball popped out, closed a circuit and triggered the airbag. The same goes for seat-belts. A rotating wheel that trip and engages a cog on the application of a set amount of acceleration.
"Once the fictitious target navigates to the page, a fake Adobe Flash update installer pops up, prompting the user to click install. Once the user downloads the fake update, he or she is infected with the spyware"
