Actually, they do exactly that for cars built before OBDII. The car goes on a dynamometer and a probe goes in the tailpipe. The tester then runs the car through a standardized set of speeds and durations while the exhaust is measured.
Reading out the OBD is much faster and legislators probably can't even imagine spoofing the data.
By definition, secure email would have solved much of their problem. Had it not, it would be insecure email. You seem desperate to find an insult for me in there even if you have to make it up.
So I'll pretend you said booger dukey and say you have the mentality of a 4 year old. Feel better now?
I'm getting this from the news and from actual court transcripts, not fiction. If anything, the fiction shows give forensics, prosecutors and police far too much credit for doing it right. They don't 'vote' on the results in CSI like the FBI lab does.
Based on what we now know about the reliability of witnesses, particularly in conjunction with standard questioning techniques, jurors SHOULD be demanding ironclad scientific evidence.
Where did I say any such thing? I said if they used a secure email system. Read it as "actually secure". You know, the sort of thing that the judge claims is a sign of terrorism.
What's wrong is exactly the unwanted calls. It's bad enough that some callcenter droid thinks I exist to listen to his spew without the added insult of having to pay for it. Up until now, fines have prevented that but under the proposed change, the pointy headed bastards will just claim "wrong number".
So you claim that the ability to clone systemd is as good as not depending on systemd? By that standard, Windows is Free software because I could just re-implement it.
A time server clearly does NOT need functions currently only implemented in systemd. I know this because I run ntpd on sysVinit systems all the time.
Like mort of their so-called seperate programs, there is a gratuitous dependency on systemd.
All over their mailing list and in redhat's bugzilla. It's the same bug that prevenbts booting with a degraded RAID.
Have a look at this. Complete with Lennart's usual attempt to pencil whip the bug away with a hasty close "notabug" only to have it re-opened. Report created in 2013, still status: assigned two years later.
Then there's this. There is a reliable way to see if a btrfs can be mounted degraded. Try to mount it with -odegraded and see if it works!
That would be easy in a system that didn't implement policy in code.
Good luck with that. Many people cannot afford to have a lawyer and food clothing and shelter at the same time. At the same time, public defenders are notoriously overworked (such that even the good ones can't be effective) and many states require you to show actual indigence before they will let you have one.
I've seen it done with a colander and a xerox machine. The cop pre-loaded it with a piece of paper that said "He's Lying" and every time he suspected a lie he pressed the copy button behind his back. The fool suspect confessed.
No, a polygraph only reacts (when it reacts at all) to your fear and stress. It can as easily be your fear that it will be read wrong and you won't be believed as it can be fear that it will correctly indicate your lies.
But it absolutely cannot determine the 'real truth', even in half-baked theory. Even the cool-aid drinkers believe it can only indicate if you are stating what you actually believe or not. So if you believe you did it and you say so, the theoretical perfect polygraph will confirm.
I will second mrchaotica. YES! It appears that the only way to get a balanced set of laws and justice is to force them to triage.Most of the people we have in prison are there for victimless 'crimes'. It wouldn't take much sanity to cut the current costs in half even while eliminating the plea bargain.
It's the same sadism that made the Romans enjoy watching people get eaten alive by lions. It may be 'civilized' and 'refined', but it comes from the same dark place.
Even more extreme (but not unknown), you face 40 years but if you plead guilty tomorrow, you'll be home with time served by the end of the week.
Meanwhile, you can't afford a real lawyer and your public defender can't even remember your name or what you were charged with. Naturally, that means bail is right out, so even if you are found not guilty, you'll spend a fair bit more time in the slammer if you plead not-guilty.
So there it is, plead guilty and go home where you might be able to put your life back together or spend another 6 months to 40 years imprisoned and either way, you will lose what little you have.
OTOH, police the world over have a bad tendency to interpret an exclusive test as inclusive.
For example, all DNA can say for certain WRT a crime is that you were never there (so you are excluded). Finding your DNA doesn't actually mean much (it doesn't even necessarily mean you were ever there) because there are far too many innocent ways it might get there yet it seems to be treated as incriminating by detectives and prosecutors.
There are such app. You just set the ringtone to silent and set a different ringtone for people in your address book. It does limit the functionality though since you don't get emergency calls where someone you know had to borrow a phone and such.
The whole thing is a leftover from when landlines had unlimited local calling and cellphones were a luxury item called a carphone (because it was the size of a briefcase and needed a car battery to operate anyway). Since it was a low volume luxury item, you got charged both for making and receiving the call. The phone company wasn't about to let go of that sweet deal, so it remains that way even now when nearly everyone has a cellphone.

OTOH, in the VCR days there was a thriving market in video stabilizers "for the clearest possible picture".
Naturally, the OBDII simulator would be for people who want to develop their own interface devices.
It can cause psychiatric symptoms in some...

There sure seem to be a lot of specific exceptions. Especially given tyhat the standard is supposed to be beyond reasonable doubt.
I will happily share in-depth research with you when you start happily writing me paychecks.
It would also require an actual pump. An open system can use a simple pressure tank to power it.
You should familiarize yourself with Brook's Law:
adding manpower to a late software project makes it later
Actually, no. There are thLeft Libertarians, for example.
In the U.S., the right tends to be even more authoritarian than the left.
So all I have to do is quit my job and become an international detective? Sure, what a deal!

If Sony Pictures had used secure email, the hack might not have leaked so much information.

And later find out that it was your wife on a borrowed phone telling you the car won't start and now she's really not amused.
Not all emergencies are of the 911 variety. Certainly not all urgencies are.
I would prefer we just fine the hell out of junk callers who call cellphones.
