if it's in orbit, it's a satellite. Anywhere else it's a great big can of whoop-ass. Actually it's that anywhere it is.

MIR was on Earths orbit but I rarely heard anyone calling it a satellite. Even if it was (depending on ones point of view).
So Defence satellite, weapons platform, whatever. I really don't care.

FlakBait is correct. Anything in orbit is a satelite. That includes the moon!

When Sputnik was first launched it was refered to as an artifical satalite. Now communication satalites are so common that the term artifical has been dropped.

I'm angry now.

Angry to Ashrak for spamming testing messages in an inappropriate topic and writing "is it boring here?". I'd like to warn you right now right here, grow up Ashrak!

Angry to Edwin because his follwing Ashrak's lead. But it's not that bad, remember to use tags in appropriate manner.

Edwin, answers to your question can be found here: http://www.volitionwatch.com/vwbb/misc.php?action=bbcode#buttons

Ashrak, if you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all. You know spamming is not right, but you keep doing it because you are childlish enough wanting to see our reactions.

Edwin, it's ok. I am not actually angry at you. I am angry at Ashrak.

It is everyones right to ask questions.
PHP and code tags were added to help page some time ago.

Rather than posting tests you could simply press the preview button look at your post and then just not post it. But then it's obvious from the replies here that very few people use the preview button
