To clarify my previous statement re. reaction time, human reaction times combined with machine reaction times will have too much delay to react in the 10 seconds suggested by the original parent. I'm pretty sure we're saying the same thing there.
How about a 1 minute recording that can only be accessed if an accident occurs (airbag inflates). This would prevent the "random search" alluded to by previous posters.
That's what we've got now, except it's 5 seconds.
As for ABS, properly functioning ABS _will_ lock up if you step on the brakes hard enough. They only prevent premature lockup when you don't have your foot _really_ hard down (to allow steering.)
Certain parts don't have a speed limit, however, your insurance coverage decreases in relation to speed over a fixed point, so if you're doing 200 km/h on the autobahn, you're personally liable for every little bit of damage you do when your tire blows.
Oh, they are... Well, at least the stock 99s are. (99s were the last of the "original model" neons, with the frameless door windows.) There's a beautiful stretch of road across the top of Toronto, called the 407 ETR - it's a Toll highway, and it's in the best shape of any highway in Canada. Anyway, yes. A Neon can safely do 98MPH, I've done it on the ETR.
* Five seconds is probably not long enough to know what really happened. I could have mashed the brake to the floor at t-10s, then hit the gas to avoid being T-Bone'd at t-6s... in that case, it looks like I was rushing headlong into the wreck.
* But how long is enough? 30 seconds? Five minutes? A day or two? Pick a silly extreme, and someone is likely to attempt to legislate it.
Did you consider the times involved here? 10 seconds @ 100km/h (62mph) is 28 metres - nearly 100 feet.
If you were standing on the brake at -10s, and decided to change your mind at -6s, you're screwed regardless. Between the combination of human and machine reaction times, you'd be lucky to have one second of actual 'changing the situation time'.
As for knowing what happened - what, do you think that the cops can't take measurements like they did before? if we go back to your example of mashing the brakes at 10s, then there'll be some nice thick black lines on the pavement, won't there?
The black box isn't the only thing providing physical evidence here, don't try to fool yourself.
As for your other concerns like data tampering, or "if a hacker replaces the car's CPU" - take the tinfoil hat off - if someone has that kind of resources for framing you for a crime, rest assured that something as trivial as a digital signature won't stop them.
I made a point of pulling up the about screen for the debian build of mozilla. It's got a swipe across it indicating that it's a debian build. (see here for a shot I took from inside galeon)
I think the automotive equivalant (eg, "Clairion" splashes across the top of the windscreen, or the custom symbols or words put elsewhere) would seem to apply here. Where one draws the line... well, I think that would need to be decided on a case-by-case basis.
Sure it is, so long as you aren't changing stuff around in it. Consider the following: If you put a supercharger on your f150, is it still an f150, or "random guy's truck (powered by ford)"
Sadly, dirty hippies with bad breath can't stand up to the teradactyl fighting power that is KISS. They have guitars, man. They're great, they saved Santa, man! (See The Family Guy episode 203.)
That's great. It's on the second page and doesn't have any info on avro. Just because you read the article (as I did, thanks) doesn't mean the rest of the people will.
Nice to see that you posted without reading. Linus actually weighed in on this to say that unless someone changed HIS bk tree, on his workstation, in his office, behind his drop->ALL incoming firewall, he wouldn't be able to sync without generating an error.
Cars with big tires go farther than hatchbacks, 100-Base over Yellow CAT5e is better than 100-Base over fibre, and Italian Amaretto lasts longer than American Amaretto.
Lets pull more unprovable crap out of a hat now, ok?
The dos boot disk that came with the commodore PC-10-III and PC-20-III came with a utility that automatically increased the speed to double. It was executed by autoexec.bat every time you booted from it or a copy. I copied it to my 80-meg scsi drive that I installed in it when I upgraded to DOS 6, and it still worked fine. IIRC, it was called speed.exe or something like that. You also needed to use commodore's time.exe or clock.exe or whatever it was to pull the right time from the onboard (nonstandard) RTC.
You could also use ctrl-alt-t for turbo (1.5x) and ctrl-alt-s for standard speed.
that only MSN customers can use the chat service now. This is the reason that the countries that they keep a chat service in are countries that they have MSN in. (As an ISP) Now they know the names & credit card #'s of all the players in the chat rooms. (They actually say this in the article.) Apparently they will still have 'unmonitored' rooms, but I'd bet money that they still track specific usage.

Quite right, I missed a 0 in divide by 3600.

The Realtek NE2000 compatable nic is NOT the same as the Realtek 8139. Typically the realtek ne2000 is an 8029. Very different chip.

There are known issues with some chipsets, as covered on lkml.
Maybe you should read lkml if you're going to play with development software.

Nice try, but far from informative.

They were still making them when Wildcat 4 was released in `94, and afaik you can still get new PCI ones.
The article claims that the stamping equipment CAN'T engage if hands etc. are in the way - sensors detect it & turn the equipment off.
That's what /proc is for - it tells you what's where.
