Then your legacy system is severed from any public lan. your security goes up by 600% if you remove it from having the ability to do ANYTHING but what it is needed for. No you cant email. No you cant surf. No network access. you can only use a SANATIZED USB drive to copy the files needed off of the unit.
Not hard to keep them hacker proof if the IT and ITS departments know what they are doing.
Yes, actually they do have a big 'ol, "extreme duty" label on them. It's called a specific grade of components and they are easily identified if you know electronics. Things such as conformal coating on the board to protect it from water and humidity, higher tolerance components for wider temperature ranges, etc... It's all easily identified if you know what you are looking at or what you are talking about. For example a board made to withstand a wide temperature range uses tantalum caps instead of low grade aluminum electrolytic caps.
So yes, I do expect that. I used to see it in the 90's on jeep ECM's, Delco Radios from the 80's and early 90's used to have it as well, I havent seen it on anything automotive in the past 10 years.
"Kit in automobiles have to be built for extreme conditions "
Nice theory, in reality that does not happen. most of the electronics in your car is standard old consumer grade crap. GM is king of this. in 2001-2005 the BCM (Body Control Module) computer would wig out on most of their cars... problem was the capacitors would die because the modules were built in china with low grade caps that spewed their guts on their own after 2-3 years. I have seen the inside of the ECM, the engine computer, on most cars and there is nothing that is "extreme condition" about them.
Your car is built as cheaply as possible to maximize profits, dont ever forget that.
I would agree with you for interstate Connections, but when you are talking about a connection that crosses a large city, like the one here locally, it's a dry pair with conditioning and two smartjacks. Simply by doing some latency testing tells me it is a direct route, and if you look at the CO locations in the city, it matches with a shortest path from A to B.
Routing across the country will incur a significant amount of latency that is easily measured.
and most companies do an initial small order like that to make sure the quality ramps up with quantity to make sure they are not faking it or can actually handle the volume that is being requested. But I dont expect an unemployed basement dweller like you to understand that.
Sorry but he is bold faced blatently lying. There is now way that my digital comms channel between offices is "recorded" it's on a private point to point T1 circuits. Let alone the sheer volume of data. One of my clients is on the Internet II backbone and they transfer 22TB of data every hour. So where is the US government getting all the storage for even the content flying about from university to university which is a drop in the bocket compared to what the Public Internet is sending all over right now per hour. You are telling me the Govt has a copy of the video I shot with my AR drone this afternoon? Where was the black van that was intercepting the signal?
It's a guy that doesn't know jack spewing made up crap to justify his new pundit job at CNN.
China has an emmense population of genius level citizens and have basically perfected mass production.
This is funny! The Company I worked for sent several china manufacturers clear plans that were accurate for a product, a LED replacement for a 4' fluorescent fixture.
We ordered a case as a trial from 8 different manufacturers there, They knew that we would order 100,000 more if the product was right and good.
7 of the companies made them in the wrong size. 1 inch too long, 1 inch too short, one looked like they used people with hacksaws as none of the cuts on the extruded aluminum was straight. etc.. Pretty much all of them were garbage from all makers. 1 had them the right length but designed them for 120V AC and not the 208 volts that is common in office buildings here and was PRINTED CLEARLY ON THE DRAWINGS and in the specification documentation that was very clear.
I am guessing that the China definition of "perfection" is not what we see in Europe or in the USA.
Yes he is doing it "illegally" he really does not care at all about laws, he is the one that showed me that it's trivial to make a silencer for any gun.
Middle lane is for slower traffic as well you fool, go back to driving school. Left is for passing and fast, middle is for through traffic, Right is for slow and merging traffic. Note how the Semi trucks are allowed to use the middle and right lanes.
Many states the speed limit is 55mph. what they need to do is test at 70mph. OR test on a track with a moron in a SUV riding their bumper and semi trucks in the right lane doing 55.
German cars now violate physics? Was that a dealer option?
the air resistance is nearly doubled at 75 from 60. Pushing air around actually takes up about 40% of a car's energy at highway speeds. Traveling faster makes the job even harder...The increase is actually exponential, meaning wind resistance rises much more steeply between 70 and 80 mph than it does between 50 and 60.

What you work on is so different than commercial software it might as well be comparing a Baker to an Astronaut.
What you do is program for perfection with zero failures because someone will DIE. in commercial software we program for a date. Dont care if it's not ready and it can kill people, program faster, stop debugging, and ship the damn thing. Yes we know that this is a mess, ship it and start on the nest product.
You work in a utopia that most programmers would kill for. The rest of us work in sweatshops where manager set deadlines that have no basis in reality and we have to half ass it to meet the promises made by someone that has no business making promises.
You dont need a CNC mill. Let me guess, you think you need a supercomputer to write iphone apps? You can make a gun with rudimentary tools that are in many people's garages. How do you think gun smiths in the 1800's did things? You think they fired up their CNC mill and had their horse program the computer to start cutting?
Buddy of mine built an AK47, automatic version out of a frigging shovel and some other metal parts in his poorly tooled metal shop. If you have the plans, you can make things better and faster with less than $100 in metal and some crap tools.
And yes he drilled a barrel and even put in some crappy rifling. A weekend project.

Orange with a hint of Pepsi...
Because you agreed to it when you clicked YES on the EULA. The leagal standing of the EULA needs to be abolished.
I used to work for the government, long enough to know that the most incompetent people are always promoted to management.
The entire top 3 levels of management in a government agency has a lower IQ than a small salad bar.
What planet are you from? SSD's have existed for 10 years. I have CF cards that are 6 years old... News flash, a CF card is a SSD :-)

there are no hard drives in cars.
Take a consumer SSD and put it in a deep freeze to -50C look it still works!

You should learn to read, I said 100,000.

Also the fact that Air is no longer Air but more like water at those speeds. Around Mach 10 it starts to act like brick walls.

dude you can fire stones from a flintlock if you put enough wadding around it. Blunderbus street sweepers shot bolts, nails and glass.
