If you want to be successful, and not just in Computer Science, but in anything, there are three things that you need to do. Now, if you ask around, there are a lot of other ideas and lists people will have, but this is simple, and easy for you to remember. The three things are:…
The question is there an ethical use of media? A lot of traditional media has followed the ideas of social media. There are a lot of pushing of agendas and viewpoints instead of unbiased news. Here is an interesting take, (takes a couple of minutes to get into it) about how people are not generally…
As we talked about earlier, there are actually rules to war. The question is what constitutes war at this time? Can we easily define who our enemy is? This is a clip from an old(er) TV show – The West Wing. An interesting idea of who is at war, and how do we know. This…
If you remember, one of the things we discussed was how the military’s job is to save as many of their soldiers as possible. We do that by creating long range weapons (sometimes referred to as standoff weapons), better armor, stealth, maneuverability, and more. So, what if we completely remove our own soldiers, sailors, and…
We often think that bigger is what the military wants. After all, the military often holds the records for the biggest aircraft, fastest plane, highest flying plane, etc. While some of these, like the C-5 Galaxy is a transport plane, it is used by the US Military and allies. Sometimes a specialized civilian aircraft such…
One of the tech areas that the military likes to focus on is survivability. That is making sure their troops, planes, ships, tanks, and even munitions can survive encounters with the enemy. Understand that different countries take different approached based upon preferred tactics, technology know how, manufacturing capabilities, etc. Some countries are even better at…
OK, if you’re going to talk about the military and technology, you cannot not talk about War. And it’s been asked, “What is it Good for” – Now you can get philosophical about this and say it is not good for anything. Or you can be like Carl von Clausewitz in his book On War….
Much like we discussed in Flowcharts, in pseduocode, we can also nest our conditions. That means that within the body of one true statement, or the else, false statement, we can nest a whole new decision. A simple case is where we want to see if two things are both true, and we don’t know…
