The bot will tap into the bot with the ball, then proceed to spin at full speed until it lets some smoke out of the IC. Look around to see if anyone saw it and continue playing.
Cars are already more or less pretty open with some proprietary stuff tacked on. ODB-II (or now CAN) has a set list of standard messages that everyone uses. Now car companies can choose to extend into their own messages if they want. Engine speed, throttle, etc all have a set upon CAN Id.
AutoZone and AdvanceAuto and every other car repair place will read these codes for free. They may be cryptic (Your fault could have probably been FUEL PRESS LOW or something), but Google and auto forums can decode them for you pretty easily.
There are also 3rd party options (at least for VW). Ross-Tech makes VAG-COM which will let you connect to almost any ECM in your car and read diagnostics or monitor blocks which is much cheaper than VW's "OE" tool (Many $k).
Now letting them see the latest service manuals would help, many companies use MATLAB/Simulink to autocode their ECM software. The lines of code and the possibility for bugs is scary. And like software companies, no one is going to be doing software updates on 3-4 year old cars meaning instead of "Don't buy X car because the wheel bearing goes bad" you could get a bug report of "Don't buy X car because the throttle position sensor flips out".
Everyone caught using is suggested to go to a class (but it's not required.). Sure they're a bit smaller than the US, but there's no reason it couldn't work here.
Then you would be impressed with Toyota's Hilux. (PDF).
32 highway, 23 city, 28 combined. Not sure what the '3/4 ton' refers to but, it can both tow and carry that. 1500 lbs = 680. kg, all of which it can handle without a problem.
I just got a call from Financial Housing Assistance. I made it through Level 1 by lying through my teeth about being underwater in my house, who underwrote my loans, everything.
And then I got a call back. I ignored it and let it go to voice mail...
x2. I get alternating calls from these guys and a company that wants to help me lower my rates.
That said, the best thing you can do is waste their time. It's like Groundhog day. Every time they call I get to try something different.
Sure warranty my 1969 VW beetle. Click Oh I don't carry a credit card balance. Click. *FCC*. Click vs Oh my Gawd. I'm so glad you called. So yesterday I was out shopping and my credit card got declined. Have you ever had your credit card declined, trust me it sucks. So how much can you lower my rates. [Cut them off] So that's great. So when do you think that I can get this rate actually implemented. I'm planning on proposing to my girlfriend, do you have a girlfriend. I'm so in love, she's going to love her ring. I just put it on layaway with the last $500 on my Visa. You do lower the rates of Visa right? [cut them off]. So. Oh, you need my number. Damn it, my card is out in the car. Can you hold for ONE second. Please. [set phone down for 5 minutes]. Hey are you still there? Great. So my card number is, hey wait a minute. Are you sure this is safe. One of my friends, John, yeah he got his credit card stolen through his pants. Some guy had this magic reader that you just need to brush up against someone and it steals the credit card.
See how long you can keep it going... - That said, Today I just left my cell phone at home. I came home to 5 missed calls.
I've filed both companies with the FCC, but the calls keep coming. I can't wait for both of these to stop.
No, they're using Netcraft for the companies that didn't release the information.
TFA:
Here's a look at some of the providers with high server counts, gleaned from public reports and partial data from a recent Netcraft server count report
There's a little note after each company where the data came from, all of the top 5 came from the company itself.
So, it is knocked down to 16 states. Say the full scale of the breathalyzer is.40. I bet it's higher because well you don't want to saturate...
That means each 'bit' is worth.025. "Illegal" is only 4 bits. 4. Not to mention sensor drift, hysteresis, dead band. Say the thing cold cals itself to 1 bit, you now have 3 bits left in which to be legal, and that's assuming that's right.
The more I read this, the more pissed off I get about this whole situation. I seriously want
An example of a DUI conviction using 5 numbers (Assuming 0.10 for simplicity):
Say the breathalyzer gets 5 numbers: [0.0625,0.0625,0.1,0.12,0.15].
If you average the numbers you get 0.099. However if you do a 'rolling' average, you get 0.13. Quite a bit of difference (not to mention, legal vs not legal).
Now imagine that last number was a burped packet of gas that had a ton of alcohol in it and was a 0.25.
Instead of the average being 0.119 (yes still illegal) it's now.18, at which point you hear on the news "he was nearly twice the legal limit!".
(Although playing with the numbers, it looks like the site is wrong, it incorrectly weights the later numbers because one wild number can instantly pull it up very high, or low.)
2. Readings are Not Averaged Correctly: When the software takes a series of readings, it first averages the first two readings. Then, it averages the third reading with the average just computed. Then the fourth reading is averaged with the new average, and so on.... the comments say that the values should be averaged, and they are not.
It's been a while but didn't the teacher in 5th grade show you why that wouldn't work?
Or how about this:
The A/D converters measuring the IR readings and the fuel cell readings can produce values between 0 and 4095. However, the software divides the final average(s) by 256, meaning the final result can only have 16 values to represent the five-volt range (or less), or, represent the range of alcohol readings possible.
Who the hell didn't pay attention in the A/D quantization error in controls class?
I don't want to fill my whole comment with copy and paste from TFA, but not only is this a code standard issue. It's just plain stupidity. Error checking, out of range checking all sound like something a first year programmer should have gotten right.
I can't say all my MATlab and CANape scripts look pretty or are up to any coding standards, but I try to at least get the basic shit right.
My Google voice account went all sorts of haywire.
1) Text messages sent from the web got duplicated. One person got near 10 duplicates in quick succession. I also got duplicate messages back. 2) My number doesn't work. If you call it you get a "Currently unavailable" 3) A few calls that came in before the outage aren't showing up in the Received/Missed calling list.

If only there was some country that had already experimented with this... Oh wait. There is.
In 2001 Portugal did just this. They decriminalized everything. and 7 years later it's working better than imagined.

Diesel lovers have known this for ages. Hell my '86 got this. As does my '98.
Of course this is going to be full of 'loopholes'. Just like SUVs are 'trucks' and exempt from laws for cars.
Hitachi already makes one and my girlfriend loves hers...

The majority of crashes and deaths aren't caused by people that blow a 0.086. They're habitual offenders who blow .25s.
Depends if I get a calibration wrong. Your steer by wire could have gains too high and drive you through a wall at highway speeds...
And slashdot should allow for a 'this post only' setting when you click on the options button.

The phrase, "I'll just put it on my <b>shared</b> drive" is fairly ubiquitous these days".
No one uses flash drives at work. We all have a mapped a shared drive that has global R/W with folders for every user in this division.
Makes copying all those unencrypted SSN and Birth Date text files so much easier.
Lets double check that...

Don't Talk to Cops. They may not like you for it (trust me), but it'll keep you out of trouble later on.
Maybe we should stop making SSNs the end all be all of who we are.
Did they get into the system with intricate knowledge of computer systems or did they brute force and crack a password or other encryption scheme?
(bad) Hacker may be an appropriate term. Just as there are probably (good) hackers probably trying to figure out who did this.
